I am having some troubles converting an avi file to a dvd file with TMPGEnc- I've tried this twice and waited 20 hours each time so I really need to understand what I'm doing wrong. I used this guide:
http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/arc..._avi_to_dvd.cfm
-which is probably why I'm having problems. I started out w/ two avi files which I joined using VirtualDub. Then I extracted the AC3 audio using VirtualDubMod. I then opened up TMPGEnc and followed that guides' instructions- I used the Project Wizard, selected the avi file, etc. Okay, now 20 hours later I have two files on my hard drive, an .m2v file and a .m2a file. I open up IfoEdit and select both these files and click Okay. It creates a folder which I am supposed to be able to burn to DVD with. Only problem is, the folder is only 3.12 Gb and has NO audio (actually, the .m2a had no audio to begin with). What am I doing wrong? In IfoEdit I've tried selecting the .AC3 file instead of the .m2a file but this does not seem to help. How can I get the sound to work right? why is TMPGEnc not creating 4.7 Gb worth of files?
PS. Does anyone know if it is possible to burn a DVD with the existing files I have (.m2v,.m2a, .ac3) - because I would really prefer not to wait another 20 hours- thanks.
