I have tried to convert AVI to MPEG but cannot get any audio on any of the files i convert, i am assuming this is to do with compression but have not got a clue how to go about fixing it, any suggestions will be welcome

I've looked around on the forums for this and there have been numerous problems with the audio being out of sync, I've tried some of the suggested solutions but without luck.
The original AVI that I am trying to rip to be put on DVDr is in sync.
When I extract the audio from a movie (big wav file) it is the same length as the length of the film. But I get an error at first saying
"VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source AVI file and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during the processing for better compatibility. This may introduce up to 6042 ms of skew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable, decompress te entire audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 115.7 +/- 11.1 kbps)"
what I do then go to full processing mode and save as WAV in VirtuaDub. Then in TMPGenc use the AVI as the source and the new wav file as. It's then out of sync, I think it starts off out of sync and gradually gets worse. I've tried to edit the file size in Adobe Audition as I read in other posts on this forum to stretch it using Cool Edit, but searching google said that it's now Adobe Audition. I don't know if you can use this? I did find the stretch option in this program but wasn't sure what to compress it as, or what settings to change. I found one where it mentions to choose a manual fps, so I changed that to 29.97 as that's what it says it is in virtuadub. But that just made it worse.
So what is a constant bitrate encoder? Is this what I need to do, use some other software to recompress the WAV in the bit rate of 115.7 +/- 11.1 kbps? Can someone help explain for me how to do this using a reccomended piece of software. Thanks
The point is that it will no longer be out of sync.
'Virtualdub MP3 Freeze' is specially made to handle VBR mp3 'Virtualdub' is NOT.
If 'Virtualdub MP3 Freeze' does not work then NANdub will and if that doesn't then it must be a problem with the audio itself.
In that case you will have to find how much delay has been introduced by simply reloading the wav back into Virtualdub with the avi and then use the delay correction option.
I'm just new at this I have just downloaded TMPGEnc freeware and I have converted and AVI file into mpeg1 then I burnt it onto a CDR I then tried to play it on my DVD Player which does DVD VCD and VACD but when I insert the disk it comes up with cant read disk, I also have an MPEG file on another disk that works ok on my PC but my DVD Player wont read the disk. Can anyone help me??
(My player is a Sony DAVS-500)
Sony DVD players are terrible for VCD/SVCD CDR compatibility.
You need to find a disk that will work with it. Try a CDRW, these usually work with the SONY DAVS-300
you need a newer dvd player. i have an older jvc that says it will play vcd's but it does not. i bought a new polaroid (sp) dual deck last month and every vcd i burn works great. i use the newest nero.
Yeh it's a con when some of them say they will play VCD. They mean commercial not home made.
Sony are buggers for this.
However many players that will play VCD, but not home made CDR, will actually play CDRW. This is because the laser wavelength reflected from a CDRW is closer to that of a DVD than CDR's.
TMPGEnc (free version) on P4 + Athlon 2000. Athlon works ok, initially it was coming up with an error message regarding the P3.dll. And the same AVI on the P4? i get the error message "*.avi" can not open, or unsupported.
I had a problem before with writing to SVCD on both with Nero 5. Then installed a different Plugin on both, the Athlon works fine! P4? you guessed it. nope. It's not completely messed up, as it does like some AVIs... just not all of them.
Oops... i forgot to mention that i am trying to create a DVD (MPEG2). And that i am converting from DivX AVI to MPEG. I may be doing something wrong, if so i welcome and advice anyone can throw at me.
A mi me pasaba lo mismo, así que prueba a hacer lo siguiente:
Option -> Environmental Setting -> VFAPI plug-in ->
localiza DirectShow Multimedia File Reader y haz click-derecho en el rat 05Ï sobre ñÍ, dale el menú que aparece sobre higher priority hasta que se ponga en el comienzo de la lista. Si no te funciona, te recomiendo que instales el ACE Media Codec Pack con lo que tendráÔ instalado los codecs principales y podráÔ ver cualquier pelùÄula.

I've been trying to create a good image out of a 640x480 single frame capture. I use Photoshop to clean up the image via (deinterlace, color correction, smoothing). But my efforts yield a very poor picture.
Question1:
How do content providers get those crisp clear images from movies? I notice some images are 1024x768 etc. and my ospry220 is only able to capture at 640x480. But I don't think 1024x768 is going to improve the quality. How do they get such clean images.
Question2:
What is 'slide scanning'? I have a epson1250 and was wondering if using 'slide scanning' is how they got those crisp pictures? And if so, where in the world would you get slides to a movie?
I apologize for this off topic question.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi, i want to convert an AVi which is 750mb @720x576 to an mpeg of the same size etc, but when it gets halfway through converting it, it just stops dead and sits like its idel??
I have a 41:57 avi source i want to encode to svcd. I figured i need an avg bitrate of about 2358 to be able to fit it nicely on 1 80min CD. However, using 2 pass VBR it results in a much smaller file (~755MB), while using CBR it gives a nice 785 mb file. How is this possible?
I am using TMPGenc DVD Author V 1.5.19,
I have Authored a file to VOB format from mpeg, but when I try to burn it I keep getting an 'invalid number code' error.
I have also tried to burn with nero, which also gives an error.
Is there anyway to find out where the problem is?
Thanks

How do we add selectable subtitles to a DVD? Can I do that using DVD Author? I have 2 subtitle files that works together: an IDX and a SUB file. Any help is appreciated!
Only the expensive DVD Authoring-Tools are able to do that, like Scenarist or Maestro.
Some other Tools are able to create Menus and Videos with Subtitle- and different Audio-Streams, but they can't create Menus for selecting Subtitles.
Maybe the combination of IFOEdit and DVDLab will work, but that's hard to learn stuff.
Actually, I found this program called Pinnacle Impression DVD Pro that might do it. It lists that it can do menus and subtitles. I have another question:
How do you go about making trailers? And then you can have them on a menu where you select which one to play?
I have a few movies i am trying to convert the video loads but the audio wont the movies have audio when i play them in Windows media player I have converted many movies with no problems im stuck any ideas?
