Hi I need some help,when I try to load this script i I got this message on TMPGEnc 2.59:
ACM failed to suggest a compatible PCM format
(:\MyMusic\film.avs,line2)

This is my script:


LoadPlugin("C:\VCDTools\Avisynth\filtros2\MPEG2DEC .dll")
AviSource("D:\movies\die_another_day_(2002).cd1.dv l.dvd.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
BilinearResize(336,192,39,0,530,256)
#TemporalSmoother(2,2)
AddBorders(8,24,8,24)
#Trim(0,96296).FadeOut(150)
#ConvertToRGB24 # For TMPGEnc or VFAPI
#ResampleAudio(44100) # CCE 2.5 'crashfix' for Athlons
#== If you want this 'fix' permanently, edit the INI-file:
#== Under [AVSscript] set CCEcrashfix=1

Hi kaos,

You need to install a CODEC. Either XviD or DivX or some other MPEG-4 CODEC.
Try installing the latest XviD CODECS

hey kwag thks for reply but already have the xvid and the mpeg-4 codecs,I just installed the nimo code pack,any another idea??please

"ACM" refers to an audio codec. The audio from that AVI is probably in AC3, so you'll want to use HeadAC3he to convert it to mp2.

you know already process the avi with virtualdub and seperate the audio from the video but it continous to show the same message, something curios is that when ,I tri to encode the movie with out fit cd and the script,
it works perfect ,but the thing is that I would like to use the filters to achieve better quality,but like I say I dont know waths wrong with,

In that case, put

KillAudio()

after the AviSource line.

??

Men sorry to bother alot but ,I just put the Killaudio() after AviSource just like you say but its not working I get the same message. This is my script

LoadPlugin("C:\VCDTools\filtros2\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\VCDTools\filtros2\FluxSmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\VCDTools\filtros2\Blockbuster.dll")
AviSource("D:\kazza shared\dieanotherdaycd2.avi")
KillAudio()
ConvertToYUY2()
BilinearResize(336,126,1,0,606,256)

FluxSmooth()

BB_Resolution = 352*240

BB_StrengthConstant = 352 * 240 * 15 # Base strength
StrengthValue = round (BB_StrengthConstant / BB_Resolution)
Blockbuster( method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=10, variance=1, cache=1024 ) # Apply noise if complexity is <= 10%.
Blockbuster( method="sharpen", detail_min=20, detail_max=90, strength=StrengthValue) # Sharpen only if complexity is >= 20% AND <=90%.

#TemporalSmoother(2,2)

Hi Kaos,
Download this http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Editing/gspot20a.zip
Open the avi with Gspot, it will tell you the format of the audio and video ie: divx 3,4,5 and mp3,ac3 audio etc.

Also check this posthttp://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic....ht=die+another

Let us know what happens

Hi Urban I think that I got that same version of the movie you got,the movie is encode in xvid already have the codec ,but can you tellme how you decompress the audio from the film because I did already try Virtualdub and avi2waw but i cant decompress the audio, on avi2waw it gets me a wavfile it suposs to be decompresed but is not,cause when i try it to open with headac3 it says the same data chunk not found,so can you tell me how you encode your movie,and also i would like to knoif you did use any filters on tmpgenc. please!!

Hey Urban,

Here is how I go about converting the audio for this type of .avi file.

• 1. Open the AVI in Virutualdub
  2. Under File select "Save as WAV"
  3. Rename the file as .ac3 (ex. audio.wav ---> audio.ac3)
  4. Under Audio select "No Audio"
  5. Under File select "Save as AVI"

This will seperate the two individual streams. You then just have to process the .ac3 file to the format you desire. Either recombine as a .wav to create an .avi file for further processing in TMPGEnc or encode to .mp2 and process the .avi seperately for conversion to MPEG-1 in TMPGEnc and remux.

I hope this isn't too confusing.

Strange -- the problem must be in the AviSource filter. Perhaps it's time for me to write an AviSourceNoAudio filter that could open these files .

If you follow the advice of Racer99 above, and then reference the video-only version of the AVI in your script, it should work.

Hi Kaos,
I used azid and the beswet gui, I have Gordian knot installed so already had azid and the besweet gui is available at Doom9.org.

I used nandub to extract the audio file , renamed it from .wav to .ac3 then use azid to convert to a true uncompressed wave file. I could then convert this to mp2. There is probably another way but this ac3 file was tricky, Sansgrip also mentioned a program at Doom9 that would remove the wav header from the ac3 file.

I would say if at all possible you should find a way of loading the extracted AC3 audio into HeadAC3he, since it's able to do Pro Logic II encoding. This really makes a huge difference over the old Pro Logic: on my system it sounds pretty close to real Dolby Digital or DTS.

Of course if you don't have a surround-sound setup right now there's less incentive to use Pro Logic II, but that's not to say you're not going to have such a setup in the future .

Hey thanks everyone for reply .you know after work around try in one way and other, i find that the best way (i mean on this avi file)was to encode with the regulars templates that comes with tmpg ,I did encode the avi with the svcd template,and i did not have to process the avi with virtual dub,strange thing,I just did increase the values of the direct show plug in on the encoder,and believe me I did get me a good quality svcd with a good quality sound(2cds) Thanks for you help !!! And keep up the good job that you always done!

Of course if you don't have a surround-sound setup right now there's less incentive to use Pro Logic II, but that's not to say you're not going to have such a setup in the future .[/quote]

And Sans I do have a prologic receiver,and beleive me the sound on this avi, sounds great just like Headac3 Prologic2 ,but I am agree with you the best thing to do is to encode the audio with Headac3

Or just put the Boolean "false" in the AVISource line?

AVISource("c:\clip.avi",false)

Er, yep, that's a better way . It's amazing what you learn when you read the docs .
