Am convering AVI, XviD videos with Tmpg. Picture is perfect but no sound, do I need a new codec, got the most up to dat stuff, but still can't get sound on the play backs :( Help please someone
A couple of things may cause this. Go to options>environmental setting>VFAPI Plugin and raise the priority of Directshow Multimedia File Reader to 2 by right clicking on it. If you are still having problems, you can create a wav and use that as your audio source: http://www.videohelp.com/virtualdubaudio.htm Goldwave can also create a wav but isn't free.
After it installs goto 'START'>ALL PROGRAMS>ffdshow>Configuration and look at the codecs that it has turned on.
You might want to turn them all all off then on one at a time until you get sound.
That way you can just turn on what you need or uninstall the whole package.
If it doesn't work, simply apply this procedure:
1) Demux the AC3 stream with VirtualDubMod (command: Stream ---> Stream List ---> Demux)
2) choose DVD [PAL] project Wizard, so TMPGEnc will produce an output type: "System (audio+video)" --> ES (video +audio) so that movie.avi --> movie.[m2v+wav] and movie.wav will be all silence (since AC3 cannot be read by TMPGEnc 2.5)
3) author (use IFOEdit " DVD ---> Author a New DVD", for example) M2V + AC3 ---> DVD stuff
This is the DVD creation procedure I use normally...I never create a MPG. I create a M2V and an audio stream (AC3 or MP2), before. Later, I'll author it in a DVD set (video_ts.BUP, video_ts.IFO, vts_01_0.BUP, vts_01_0.IFO,VTS_01_#.VOB)
