Default No audio in TMPGEnc? GSpot says audio fine + plenty of codecs?

Hi
Have you tried out the following:
-load avi into Virtualdub and select "save wav" to save the audio part as
wav file
-in TMPEGEnc select the avi file as the video source and the wav as the
audio source and generate the MPG as usual.


I actually kept looking for answers since now every DivX file had no
audio. The solution I finally found yesterday allows me to get audio
without further fiddling like the above, which I would really try to
avoid vbg, and has allowed me to use TMPGEnc 3 times since
yesterday, and I'm getting full and synched audio. This was a
tremendous thing since EO Video does work even when TMPGEnc doesn't
but takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours more to do the same thing. TMPGEnc
re-encodes to MPG in about 2 1/3 to 3 hours whereas EO Video takes 6
hours or more! And I'm talking about 45 min TV eps only, not movies
or anything!!! g

The trick that has allowed this to work is giving directshow highest
priority. Here's where I got the info from and step-by-step
instructions:

From
http://www.afterdawn.com/faq/softwar...in_tmpgenc.cfm,
point # 6.1.10:

This is usually caused by the compression on the audio of the source
file. If it is an AVI file it is very common. With an AVI file the
easiest things to do here are set DirectShow Multimedia File Reader's
priority to 2 or even better demcompress the audio!

To change the priority of DirectShow, this is dont simply by clicking
option - environmental setting. Click the VFAPI plug-in tab. You will
see DirectShow in the list usually with a priority of -1. Right click
on the NAME (not the priority) and click higher priority until the
priority is 2 and it is at the top of the list. To decompress the
audio for better results, do the following with VirtualDUB...

1. Click Video - Direct Stream Copy.
2. Click Audio - Full Processing Mode.
3. Click Audio - Compression. Select and click ok!
4. Click File - Save AVI and try it with TMPGEnc.

It's worked so far every time! crossing fingers

Thanks!

EO Video is my preference when this occurs, but I'm having problems
with it on many files this time around (as per my other message). I'm
stuck with an AVI that I need to make into a VCD. How do we fix this
type of problem. AVI plays just fine with various players, 2 versions
of GSpot say everything okay with audio but TMPGEnc Plus flatlines in
the audio window in source range and produces MPG clips with no sound.

I've spent time since posting message re EO Video and this message on
the net googling and in the DVD help forum. Absolutely nothing on
this.

What has anyone else done to resolve this problem? Thanks.
