    I tried recently converting some avi and audio in Tmpeg following instructions from an earlier post :
    "k in virtual dub load the xvid movie up.
    then click on file again and choose save wav.
    this will save just the audio to the film.
    k when it finished click on audio and choose no audio
    then click on video and make sure its on direct stream
    now click on file again and choose save avi
    this will save just the film with no audio
    when this has finished close it down and open tmpg
    put the video file in its right place and the audio file in its right place.
    when you done that you want to load the settings up within tmpg and unlock the vbu buffer size. changing this to 0. and change the bitrate to automatic vbr,
    thats it just click start, im assuming your naking mpeg2. however if your making mpeg1 then the settings can be left alone
    let us know how ya get on matey "

    unfortunately when i tried this upon inserting the sound a runtime error came up. I was wondering why that happened adn if i should just try agian or what else could I use?_X_X_X_X_X_[small]LoGic FauLt

    try this instead, open the xvid in virtualdub.

    1. click video - direct stream copy
    2. click audio - full processing mode
    3. click audio - comprssion and select no compression pcm and click ok
    4. click file - save avi

    now try it with TMPGEnc!

    in response to your first question, dont save the wav file, that method would decompress the audio in the avi file that you save so there is no need to seperate the audio anymore!

    and what exactly do you mean by full compression error, did it give any details??

    well it says " No audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format"
    This being if i chose to save the avi fully with the sound and everything on Virtual Dub...if i do Full Processing Mode for audio. Should i try to do direct stream with audio too? Or perhaps just take the Xvid avi directly to Tmpeg?

    Download a small program, not sure where i think i used Google, called MVType, open the file with it and it should tell you the audio (and video) codec used for compression (probably AC3).
