Hi,

now, i'm really not familiar with this. Thus, i will describe what i did, and what happened.

I have this nice AVI video, i want to get on a DVD. Therefore i got the TMPEGEnc. 2.5 to encode from AVI to MPEG. In the first run, it worked all right. I used ifoEdit to author the DVD and create an image and finally burnt it with burnatonce.

The problem was, that the sound didn't fit to the pictures anymore (in contrast to the AVI-Video). What happened was, that now the Pictures ran at first a lot faster than the sound. After about 2/3 of the Video, the sound went right in the correct place, but still was too slow finally endig about 20 seconds after the video.

Well, I read something about using VirtualDub as a better tool for the sound. Thus I replaced the sound-file generated by TMPEGEnc. with the VirtualDub WAV-File fitting the start and the end frame exactly (starting the mpeg and the WAV-file seperatly shows the same length). As you could imagin, the over all size did not fit the DVD format. Therefore, i could not burn the resulting image. And, if i watched the mpeg and wav-format with DVD-Shrink, the sound did not fit again. But of course I couldnot tell, if DVD-Shrink is a program to rely on in this account.

Something weird in TMEPGEnc with this video is also, that TMPEGEnc. shows different numbers of frames as i load the video. This is all weird and i don't get it. I just spent a lot of time trying, reading, trying again. Any Idea?

use AVI2DVD to convert your AVI files to MPEG2.

You can configure it to use TMPGEnc for the video encoding, but it will use BeSweet for the audio and mux them together using bbMPEG.

I used to use TMPGEnc on its own, but once I discovered AVI2DVD there's no turning back :-)

You can get it here...

(yes, it's called DVD2SVCD, but when you install it set it to start as AVI2DVD)

here's a good guide for what you want to do...

...and here's some detailed info on the settings for the application...

Good luck, and do post back with any problems you have. I'm more than happy to help other newbies :-)
