i use tmpeg to convert both video and audio, are u sure ur doing this right?

i don't know about the guide on dvdrhelp not looked yet, but i use the wizard in tmpeg to convert .avi files to .mpg (VCD)

little more info please

Just had a look at the guide in question, (learned something myself to do with audio sync probs) :rolleyes:


try here: problems on coverting (http://www.dvdrhelp.com/tmpgenc.htm#problems)

Pay particular atention to this:

Some common TMPGEnc problems:

If you get an error message when opening like file unsupported or can not open or is not supported
or you get an empty(black) video preview window
or the video look wierd in the video preview window like green or purple or pink
Try first to change the codec reader settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 1 or 2 and try open the video.
If that does not help be sure that you have installed DivX or XviD or MPG2 or DV Codecs and also try with the Nimo Codec Pack.

This may solve the problem if this is what you mean!!



:D :D

If I remember correctly, The Pianist is an XviD codec, so you will need to use virtualdub_mp3freeze to open it up..
