Divx->DVD. TmpGenc produces no sound

[Batch]

Hi, Newbie here, I have read the guides but apologies if I have missed something.

Basically I want to convert a divx (avi) to play as a normal DVD. I have followed a clear guide which uses tmpGenc to split the avi into mpeg audio and vide. TmpGenc seems to work, the mpeg video output file is great, but the audio file whilst present (not empty) is always silent, I have tried linear and MP" output formats.

I can play the divx on my PC with no problems, the sound is fine. I assumed this ment the audio CODECs are installed fine?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

1) Load the .AVI file into VirtualDub (or any of its variants) 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 one greater than the highest priority of listed items.. This will enable TMPGEnc to accept a properly encoded .AVI with .AC3 audio for input...


If it proves to be VBR:

Simply use VirtualDubMOD (Different than standard VirtualDub), to save the audio stream as an Uncompressed PCM (WAV) file as follows:
Using VirtualDubMOD to Convert "VBR" .MP3 to Uncompressed .WAV

1) Load the .AVI file into VirtualDubMOD (a different program than the standard VirtualDub)

2) From the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Direct Stream Copy"

3) From the "Streams" dropdown menu, select "Stream List" - and rightclick on the audio stream, then select "Full Processing Mode" - then click on "OK"

4) From the "File" dropdown menu, save the .AVI with a new filename

Thanks for the reply.

It appears to be VBR, but I get the following message when opening the avi



Here is the information after OK'ing the above error.



Do I still follow your VBR instructions above?
