RAM or RM to MPEG1

[Shock]

I tryed encoding a RAM video with audio and video.
But when I use tmpeg to convert it to mpeg1,
it only encodes the video and not the audio. and the audio
is in there before I encode. video on one line and audio on
the other line. same as if you were going to convert a WMV
or AVI file. but whne I try it with a RAM or RM I get only the
video not the audio. Anyone know what Im doing wrong?

typical of tmpgenc, try raising directshow first as described below.

FAQ
No Audio on Output File After Using TMPGEnc:
This is usually caused by the compression on the audio of the source file. If it is an AVI file it is very common. With an AVI file the easiest things to do here are set DirectShow Multimedia File Reader's priority to 2 or even better demcompress the audio.

To change the priority of DirectShow, this is done simply by clicking option - environmental setting. Click the VFAPI plug-in tab. You will see DirectShow in the list usually with a priority of -1. Right click on the NAME (not the priority) and click higher priority until the priority is 2 and it is at the top of the list. To decompress the audio for better results, do the following with VirtualDUB...

1. Click Video - Direct Stream Copy.
2. Click Audio - Full Processing Mode.
3. Click Audio - Compression. Select and click ok!
4. Click File - Save AVI and try it with TMPGEnc.

Unfortionately I cant even open a RAM file with Vdub. however I was able to
use a work-around with movie maker. I dont like MS products but it was the
only thing that worked for me. I had to add the RAM file into movie makerand then add each clip to the strip, save it as a WMV file. and then I was able to
import the WMV file into TMPGEnc to save again as a mpeg1. Kind of a pain
But it worked. Thanks for the quick reply.
