I saw one thread asking about this error, I receive the same error but I'm only trying to encode a file. I am not very "familiar" with a lot of the terms and processes I only know the "basics". Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Let me guess, DivX to (S)VCD? Well you can try a few things. First of all, Open the source file in VirtualDUB and you could extract a Wave file and use that as your audio source, or you could decompress the audio with VirtualDUB (I would recommend this because people seem to get out of sync audio if they just extract a wave and they are using TMPGEnc's Internal Audio Encoder) 1. Open the AVI in VirtualDUB 2. Click Video - Direct Stream Copy 3. Click Audio - Full Processing Mode 4. Click Audio - Compression, select No Compression PCM and click ok 5. Click File - Save As Avi. The file you save will be larger than the source file but hopefully it will now be OK with TMPGEnc.
Try reducing the audio to 44100Hz (you will need to unlock the settings in TMPGEnc to do this)or if you use DVD2AVI as a frameserver you can downscale from 48000Hz-40000Hz and decode the sound to WAV, then, load the DVD2AVI project and WAV sound as seperate files into TMPGEnc and encode them back together. I am new to this also but it worked for me - let me know if you have any luck or if you need clearer instructions
