Frankly I have found some errors in the guides posted here and as far as I know no one has addressed them.
I had to do my own workaround to get results.
So much for searching for answers.

WilliamIV,
If you've found any discrepancies with any guides, why don't you post them? Along with your "workarounds". This is the right forum "Feedback & Suggestions", and who knows it may just help the next newbie :)

Why search through guides when you know enough about the contents to know that they are wrong?

Discussion on the TEMPGENc common problems forum.PROBLEM burning VCD to dvd, demuxing audio files with TEMPGENc
******************************************************
This is one of the mini-guides
Since I dont have an AVI file to work from this information is not helpful to me.

7. No audio on output file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 dont 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 <No compression (PCM)> and click ok!
My workaround. I just used TMPEnc to create and output folder with VIDEO_TS file inside and directly from the dat file burn the dat file as it was to a disc. I wasted a lot of time splitting the video and the sound files and converting the sound file to 48000. At 48000 there is no sound at all.

TMPGENc common problems
22 June 2004 15:18
I am using TMPGEnc Plus 2.5. I am using toolame.exe and ssrc as external tools in the enviromental settings. When I go to recode the audio file (mp2)I browse for the audio source when I get the mpg.mp2 file to show up in the output window I click "load" and I click DVD (NTSC).mcf. I open that file and select ES (Audio) only The audio file is greyed out and locked to 48000. When I finish re-encoding the audio file. I burn it to DVD using DVD Author. When I play it back using Nero video player or My Emerson Combo DVD VCR there is no sound.
If I just bypass the file separation and load the dat files directly into DVD author from the VCD files the sound is perfect on both players. I am able to get 9 45 minute tv shows on one DVD+RW ( I am using RW for testing) so I dont notice any problems from lack of compression. I don't see what the advantage is from going through all these extra steps when I can just author a DVD by just using TMPGEnc Author from the dat files without separating and recoding them (DVD Author does the recoding.)

If there's a concern with the guide, take it up there. This is not the appropriate place and for the record, my question was more rhetorical in nature :)

request for information only to be told that this is not the appropriate place. I don't think your postition should be that of suppressing information do you?
Besides I thought that as a "Senior Member" he had managerial status here since you are so obsessed with hieracy.
Since in the thread I orginally posted in I received no workable answer I have come to the conclusion that no one here knows the answer.

?Hi All,
I have noticed there has been more and more "Newbies" starting threads in the more Advanced sections of the forum.?
Oriphus
There could be a Newbie to the forum with an advanced question to ask...
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/78788
That's why there are newbie threads, so that the inexperienced can have a place to ask simple questions to complicated answers that will be in turn answered by those who can answer them, those who qualify for the "Advanced threads." But newbie?s starting their own threads just to have a single question answered is wasting the forum?s resources and should be made a little more difficult.
Some forums require that you?ve been a member for at least 5 days before posting. Just the amount of time for anyone who?s really interested enough to become a member, enough time to read the rules. Gives them time to browse through a few threads, and get the feel for AD.
Perhaps that can be applied to posting threads as well?

I can see that all you people are interested in at this point in finding a convenient scapegoat to take out your computer fatigue on.
I did paste my workaround in the thread (if you want to find it-DO A SEARCH.
This whole thing is absurd and I wish to leave this forum and cancel my account. I dont need you.

Grow up. Being nitpicky isnt gonna help anyone anywhere.
(1) This is the wrong section of the forum for comments on the guides. Period.
(2) Even if you have a suggestion for a guide, this is the wrong thread for it.
(3) Regardless of whether or not Andmerr made a grammatical mistake in telling you this is the correct section of the forum or not however I'm telling you it isnt. Furthermore, if you stop for a second and look at the title of the thread, this is a "Proposal" thread; not a "Guide" thread. I dont think anyone's got a problrm with your finiding or your critique of the guide -- it's just that this is the wrong place for it :)

It was I who said to post in "Feedback & Suggestions". I did not say post in this thread.
If you did find any discrepancies, do tell ... this is called "Feedback".

WilliamIV,
Why so angry? My post was not intended to anger you in any way. Note that I did say "and who knows it may just help the next newbie :)". You may not need us, but some newbie may need your help.
Anyhow, hopefully you change your mind about A/D. This really is a great place with good people :)

people people can't we all just get along! we all have been newbies at one time or another,and as a newbie remember being so anxious for a reponse to your problem so you could move on and get something working right? you watch posts getting answered on the advanced forum and nothing on the newbie and its been days (actually 10 minutes but arrrgggg i'm dyin here help me please) you then jump to the advance knowing you shouldn't and the rest is history. you are now at least a "lurker" (thats me) on the greatest forum ever.( see other pc hardware- video card driver) i agree some questions SEEM stupid but i tell every tech i train (hvac/r) the only stupid question is the one unasked. peace to all
