Tmpgenc Question

[Wizzandabe]

Do you need to "extract" the audio form the .avi, or can you just use the avi and go?
I am going to be encodeing to DVD MP2 is that helps.

[3RA1N1AC]

you can encode the audio straight from the AVI. if the program has a problem with it, then extracting the AVI's audio to a WAV file might be a good second option.

[Wizzandabe]

Well, I set it to go, and pressed encode, and it started, so no errors there, so I am gessing it will be OK. :D

Still, what program do I use to "extract" the audio (.wav) VirtualDUB???
Something like that its called. :P

[3RA1N1AC]

yeah, Virtualdub.

File -> Save WAV.

[Wizzandabe]

Cool, Thanks for that, will remember it.

I have a good memory ;) :P

You can use vdub but go to

vdub - Audio - full processing mode - Audio - conversion (set sample rate for the media you are decoding to)
File - Save wav

Some audio (like ac3) have an unkown tag
You see this in vdub

Vdub - File - File information

If unkown i use Goldwave - Drag avi into goldwave - deflashing starts - Then save as wav. (you can maximse volume first if low audio)

NOTE Goldwave sometimes looks like it has crashed but give it a minute and it will fire up. Low priority when other things running)

[Wizzandabe]

(set sample rate for the media you are decoding to)

And I find that?
Gspot? :unsure:

[SMID]

All i know is the info for vcd,s
The sample rate is 44100 Hz

I think the sample rate for dvd is 48000 Hz (but search sit for correct sample rate)

Also forgot to add make sure compression is set to no compression

or 99% of the time when you get error for sound with tmpgenc, its to do with your vfapi settings, please set all like this http://members.cox.net/my_web_pictures/tmpegnc_setting_for_x-vid.gif
(ignore any settings you don't have, just worry about the ones you do have)

If u want to know info for a file just use VirtualDub and go to file>open video then file>file information it will tell u all about it.

[Wizzandabe]

Nice, will be encodeing soon. :D
