    Ok:

    Here's the scoop. I re-encoded the file with TMPGEnc. I used the .avi as the video and audio source. It created the xxxxx.mpg file. The video works great, but, there is no audio. By the way, this is the second .avi now in a row that has had great video and no audio. Both audio files are MPEG Layer-3 and are 25fps. So what do you think???

      i've never had problems with any mpeg layer 3 audio in tmpgenc VBR or not, doesn't matter. directshow being raised is all that is required so try the following from this 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.

          "directshow being raised is all that is required"

          When you say being raised, you are reffering to ffdshow audio decoder and ffdshow video decoder showing in my systray, right?

            All my TMPGEnc settings are correct. I still am not getting audio after TMPGEnc encodes to the .mpg file.

            Now here's another thing. I can make a .wav file that has sound from the same avi, but, when I load it into TMPGEnc Author and let it do it thing there is still no audio in the dvd files. Any thoughts???

              no this is done within tmpgenc's interface. use the steps i listed above. this is important.

              also: what procedures do you use to create the wav? the same on listed in the guide? you are making a mistake somewhere, this is never a problem.

                Ok, I got you now. DirectShow is and has been raised to the top with the Priority at number 2.

                When I make the .wav, I do as the guide says, with the only addition of clicking on "conversion" and putting a dot in 48000Hz and a check mark in High Quality. I do this in between steps 2 and 3 of the guide. I think that's right.

                Under the Audio tab in Virtual Dub, does the dot belong next to Source Audio as apposed to No audio or Wav audio??

                Update:

                I tried to uninstall and re-install TMPGEnc so I could start at the programs defaults, but it seems that all the settings stayed the same. I did re-boot after the uninstall. Something is really wrong because I tried to encode a 23fps using the Project Wizard and that didn't give me audio on the .mpg either. I'm stuck! I will do whatever it takes to fix this. Should I uninstall everything I have loaded up and then re-install it?? I don't know if that would do it or not. What do you think?

                    That's what I attempted and I must have turned it off the last time I ran a virus scan and never turned it back on!!!!! I am running a scan now. Hopefully that cures the issue. Man am I PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP'ed. I'll get through this and get back.

                          Ok,....UHHHH..... I'm back. I had 8,200+ viruses on my machine! That's a record for me. It must have been one of those multiplying ones. Getting them off was a real fiasco!!! On the phone with Norton techies for a day and a half. Man, I am lucky my wife is away. It took from my last post until now to clear it up. It wasn't a simple run Norton and your done. I installed Norton on an already polluted machine. Don't ever do that!!!

                          I still am getting no audio. So I think the viruses must have currupted one of the programs or one of the codecs. I tried to unistall and re-install the Xvid and Divx codecs, but I'm not sure if they were the right ones. Do you know of a link that can take me to the proper place to download both of these codecs?? That would be helpful. The ones I downloaded looked a little different to me than I remember when I originally downloaded them.

                          Thanks,

                            Talk about the TMPGEnc line of software, including TMPGEnc Express, MPEG Editor and TMPGEnc DVD Author


                            as for the codecs you request, go to videohelp.com and search for them--they are good.
