| 1. install avisynth 2. create a text file:
<framerate> is the actual frame rate of the file. 3. rename text file to myfile.avs 4. open in VirtualDub |

| Thanks for that info. Do you know if i could do something like the above to convert a MP4 file to MPEG1/2 using Tmpgenc. |

| if you can open the file in WMP or a directshow-based player, you can use the same script above and open it in TMPGEnc. |

| Yes it does MP4 to mpeg1 with Tmpgenc I tried it but no sound unfortunately. |

| You can open it in TMPGEnc and then export it to a AVI. I tried it and it works (or did once). Unfortuantely when I tried using Huffyuv for codec, it tended to crash. |

| If you want to convert it to AVI just load the script into virtualdub. Winavi is the only program I know that can convert a WMV with sound to an AVI or MPG. Winmpg can convert a MP4 to AVI with sound (but very slowly approx 3-4 hours) also the program is prone to crashing. Using YAMB and MP4BOX it is possible to extract the video and audio streams from a MP4. Then the audio needs to be converted to WAV using besweet or similar before importing into virtualdub. |

| Dont know how to do the script thing:) |

| read stephanv's post above just use notepad to write the script and save it as a avs file. Instead of loading your wmv directly into virtualdub load the script instead. It will now load the wmv into virtualdub like it is an avi |
