no sound after conversion

I’m trying to convert an AVI file to mpg with “tmpenc” and “avi2mpg”. The picture comes out perfect but I get no sound in the mpg-file.

When I run GSpot I get:
______________________________________________

Audio Format:
Code: 0x0055
Name: WAVE_FORMAT_MPEGLAYER3 (MP3)
Vendor: ISO/MPEG

The following codecs all claim to be capable of processing this format:

— > {Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (advanced)}
— > {Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional)}
— > {MPEG Layer-3 Decoder}
_____________________________________________

Am I missing an codec anyway?

I have the same problem, with the same installed codecs.

Here is however a workaround using VirtualDub:
- open your AVI file with Virtual Dub (menu “File->Open video file”. Virtual Dub will tell you that it has detected an improper “VBR audio encoding”....
- ensure that the Video generation option is set to “Direct Stream copy” (menu “Video -> Direct Stream copy”
- ensure also that the Audio generation option is set to “Direct Stream copy” (menu “Audio -> Direct Stream copy”
- then save the file (Menu “File->Save As AVI” with a different name.

and after a few minutes... That’s it !! Your new file is now with a good sound !
It is then possible to transform it in a MPEG file using TMPEnc
...

But like you I still don’t understand why GSpot tells me that everything is OK whether it does not work :-(

I’ve found a way to do a conversion that actually works. First of all i did try the way suggested, no luck.


load avi file into virtualdub. Audio set direct stream copy. Save wav. Rename .wav to .mp3 . Load MP# into a MP3 to wav conversion program (I used cdex). Convert . You can now load into tmpgenc and turn it into a vcd

The way that I propose is to use BeSweet and BeSweet GUI. I had the same problem and by using the “wave-stereo” output mode and having the SSRC option on, BeSweet did a wav to wav transcoding resulting in a wav file that could be recognised by TMPGenc.

You may need an ac3 filter. It solved my “no audio” problems
