Strange audio glitch when converting from avi to mpeg for DVD. |

| I have been asked to create a DVD.
The source file is avi (recorded on an Archos system I believe). It plays perfectly with VLC, WMP, etc. Now what I need to do is convert the avi to an mpeg using TMPGEnc so that I can burn it using DVD Lab Pro. I am converting to MPEG2 (audio & video) The problem I am facing is that the finnished mpeg file looses audio about 3 seconds in (8min file). What I have tried so far. TMPGEnc Convert to MPEG2 system (audio+video) Convert to MPEG2 ES (audio+video) AVI2MPG Won't read the avi It get's stuck at "Searching for actual last video frame" "Checking DirectDraw sample update completion status, time = xx sec" Cut Assistant Cutting the source avi file into parts (cutting off the start/end as well) with hope that I would skip the glitch and the sound would then work after I have converted to MPEG. This didnt work. DivFix & DivFix++ I have tried checking for errors and fixing the avil file before using TMPGEnc to encode the fixed files to MPEG. The orignal file is reported as having the following error; "Error detected at byte: 192324576 Skipped 552 bytes. Index frames detected. Error detected at byte: 192325136 Skipped 8 bytes. New Stream Size : 192322532 Total Error Count : 2 Total Frame Count : 22764 Video Data Frames : 11382 Audio Data Frames : 11382" The fixed avi reports no errors but the audio still stops after a couple of seconds when it has been converted to mpeg. Ulead I then decided to use Ulead to create an image of of the DVD so that I could extract the mpeg file that Ulead converted from the image. But I found that the audio cut out at the same point. I'm now all out of ideas and am desperately in need of help. Any suggestions? Peace. |

| Have you tried demux the audio? Use avidemux, open avi and under Audio->Save. Or convert it directly to wav, under Audio->Encoder choose PCM as audio codec and Audio->Save.
Then try play the audio file, if it sounds okey you can load the video and then the separate wav under audio in tmpgenc. |

| Thanks for the advice Baldrick.
I tried Audio-->Save. It saves the audio as a file without an extension. So I tried adding the extension .wav and as I expected that didn't work (should it have?). I also tried to find Audio-->Encoder, but there was no encoder option under Audio. I'm running v2.5.1. Was the Encoder option for a seperate app? Edit - I think I have worked around the problem. I used AVIDemux to convert the AVI to an MPEG (A+V). I then loaded the MPEG into AVIDemux and indexed it. This allowed me to save the audio as .MP2 in TMPGEnc which I then transcoded to .WAV. I am now saving the video through TMPGenc and will let you know if I succesfully mux them, keeping audio in tact. |
