TMPGEnc

[waterogre]

I have a problem concerning TMPGEnc.

Since I installed the Nimo codec pack my avi files no longer contain any sound when dragged into the Project wizard. (It did before though) And when I try to browse the avi file as sound there's an errror message saying that the file is unsupported or cannot open.

Is there a certain codec that I need? And if it is, where can I get it?

Help is extremely appreciated

1) Load the .AVI file into VirtualDub or NanDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (both video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box


The audiostream is probably in either .AC3 format or Variable Bitrate MPEG Layer 3 (VBR .MP3).

If it proves to be .AC3:

In TMPGEnc, under the "Environmental Settings" "VFAPI plugin" tab rightclick on the "Direct Show Multimedia Reader" and increase to the highest priority. This will enable TMPGEnc to accept a properly encoded .AVI with .AC3 audio for input...


If it proves to be VBR:

Converting .AVIs with VBR-MP3 Audio

Simply use VirtualDub to save the audio stream as an Uncompressed PCM (WAV) file as follows:
Load your original .AVI into VirtualDub
From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save WAV" (Enter a new filename with a ".WAV" extender).Click on "OK"
Then set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copying"
Then save the .AVI as a silent .AVI (set "Audio" to "No audio" after you've saved the WAV file).
Open TMPGEnc and "drag and drop" the silent .AVI onto it, then do the same with the .WAV file

AC3 or MP3?

Here's a dump of my screen. How do I tell which one of the audio formats it is?

this will tell you what you're dealing with:

install an mp3 codec

and maybe next time it might prove helpful to take a look at postings like this one:
