Using EO Video 1.36 (because it is fully functional on a trial basis) I am converting some 40meg wmv files to mpeg for VCD use. It goes fine but every now and then I get a very short pause in the sound, maybe a second or less but it is quite noticable. I converted the same file twice and it is pretty much getting the issues in almost the exact same places in both files. There isn't really much I can change in EO to adjust the conversion of the sound, although based on my very limited knowledge I doubt much is changed, but obviously something cause the .mpeg sound is poor compared to the .wmv. Any tips on technique or software to eliminate this issue ? I tried using TMPGEnc 2.5 and stopped it because it wanted to take 4 hours for a 22 minute file. When I decided do a complete project with TMPGEnc the sound dropped out totally after about 15 seconds????
Well Tmpgenc would Produce Better Quality than EO_Video..What I do with WMV Files is use a Simple program called "Stoik Video Converter" to Convert the WMV files to AVI files useing the HuffYUV Codec and use it to convert the Framerate from 30fps to 29.976fps and the Resolution to 352+240 which is the Proper VCD Resolution and Framerate and useing the HuffyUV Codec there is absolutly No Quality Loss..Then I take the AVI file and Load it into my Favorite encoder and encode it to Mpeg (I actually Frameserve with AVISynth and use some filters to improove the Image Quality but you can use simular filters in Tmpgenc)..This Method Can take a Lot Longer but you come out with a much better Looking and sounding VCD...You can Find the Stoik video Converter on the Net pretty easilly as it is Freeware but if you can"t you can PM me with your e-mail address and I"ll send it to you and you can get the HuffyUV codec on the net also but you will need to have a bit of disk space to use it....Cheers
Thx heaps Minion...I will check out "Stoik Video Converter" and the HuffYUV codec and see how it works for me mate. Thx again.
