As a novice myself, I hope this page will help others to achieve results faster than I did when I first started.
------------------------------

If you can not find an MP3/WAVE to AVI convertor, which we have not up until now, then try this simple method.
Find a bit of kit that will allow you to play your MP3/WAVE etc;and will allow other devices to capture sound outputs at the same time. Try a Free program called CDEX from http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ Please read their documentation and the Copyright notice.

A WEB CAM capture device is good enough. Load your capture card software. Make sure that the output is in AVI form and set the sound quality with compression to Intel Codec 4.5mhz.
Set the out put file name etc.
Load your player (or CDEX). Select the file or files you want to play. Do not start them yet.
Start your capture device and then start your player.
When finished, stop the capture device then the player. DONE!
You may need to try things out until you get the best quality.

To add the sound track to an MPG file, try TEMPEnc (http://www.tmpgenc.com) and MPG2VCR (http://www.womble.com/) or any other product that can combine sound to your VCD\DVD movies.
All that is required, is for you to combine the sound with the movie making sure that the sound track is in sync.

To Remove a Sound Track from an MPG file.
Use your prefered software or TEMPGEnc.
We'll use TEMPGEnc here.
Select 'File' and then MPEG Tools. A window pops up and you select the 'Multiplex' TAB.
Now set the 'Type' to MPEG Video-CD. Select the down arrow on the right side and choose that format.
Choose the 'Add' tab and select your MPG file.
Now to remove the Audio track from that video file.
Highlite the Audio layer Stream and select the 'Delete' Tab.
Select the 'Output' drive/path and filename of the'soon to be converted' MPG file.
When ready select the 'Run' tab. Done.

ADD your Sound Track to Above MPG.

This is without making adjustments to get movie in sync with the audio. A test if you will.

Select Bottom of the screen:
Video Source: Select Audio-less created MPG file's with 'Browse'.
Audio Source: Select the AVI file that you created.
Output file name: Slect Drive/Path and enter TEST.MPG

Right side of screen:
Set 'System Stream' to 'System (Video+Audio).

Select 'Settings':-
Select 'Video' tab:-
Stream type:- MPEG-1
Size: 352 x 288 pixels.
Aspect ratio: 4:3 625 line (PAL).
Frame rate: 25 fps.
Rate Controle: Constant bitrate (CBR).
Bitrate: 1150- kbits/sec.
Motion search precision: Normal.

Select 'Advanced' tab:-
Only change 'Source Aspect ratio:- 4:3 626 lines (PAL).

Select 'Audio' tab:-
Stream type: MPEG-1 layer II
Sampling frequency: 44100 Hz
Channel mode: stereo. (Could try 'mono' later)
Bitrate:224 kbits/sec
De-emphasis flag: None.

Select 'System' tab:-
Stream type: MPEG-1 Video-CD
Select 'OK' button at bottom of page when ready.
Select 'Start' at top of screen. There you have it.

Audio and Video sync.
I like to ensure that the Video has about 4 seconds of nothing in front and back of it. This really does help when putting both together. You can then cut the video 'lead-in' to suit the audio 'start'.
Put them to gether using TEMPEnc (the bottom selections of its main page, not forgetting to setup the output formats etc) . Usually it works. Sometimes, you will find that 'lip sync' is not correct. It's quite easy to add a frame here and there in the video to correct this problem. ALWAYS work on a copy of your originally created 'video only' file. If you get it wrong, you still have the master to create another working copy to work from.
======================================

AVI Recording via Capture card(WebCam/Cam Corders etc).
Use'' Intel Indeo Video 4.5'' compression with ''Key frame'' set at every 15/22 frames (I use 22).
Set Capture 22 Frames per second and sound quality to the maximum, depending on your capture card, and system speed. You may get away with just using 8000htz, 8bit, 16kbit/second (I use this and the quality is good).
PAL display:- Capturing AVI:- Inital Video display Format at 388 x 288 (or 352 x 288 if you have it), 15/16bit RGB. Video source at Composit, Pal B,D,G.H,I or whatever your capture cards input is. The 15/16bit picture quality is actually very good, so use it. When converting to mpg you need to increase Gamma, Colour and Sharpen the edges.
Old computers using something like 333 mhz (250mhz actual speed) should set the audio at 8000htz, 8000bit and 16Kbit/Second. This will give quite good quality sound. You need to experiment to get the best possible without making the resulting AVI to long.
When converting to MPG1, Audio canbe set to 32000htz, Stereo and at 192 bit, or normally at 44,100htz, Stereo and 224 kbits/second.

A 5.5 minute recorded AVI is about 1,700,000KB file size.

If you are using TEMPEnc to convert AVI to MPG1, then use these settings:-
Bottom Right side of screen:-
Select your AVI file to convert, the Audio file (if different) and the resulting MPG files name.
Then.....
Set 'System Stream' to 'System (Video+Audio).
then....
Select 'Settings':-
Select 'Video' tab:-
Stream type:- MPEG-1
Size: 352 x 288 pixels.
Aspect ratio: 4:3 625 line (PAL).
Frame rate: 25 fps.
Rate Controle: Constant bitrate (CBR).
Bitrate: 1150- kbits/sec.
VBV Buffer size: 40
Motion search precision: Normal.

Select 'Advanced' tab:-
Change Source Aspect ratio:- 4:3 626 lines (PAL).
In the White box below it (Filters), select the following:-
Ghost Reduction
Noise Reduction
Sharpen Edge
Simple Color Correction:- Double click and set the following:-
Gammer to 17
Red to 17
Blue to 17
All others set at default 0
(( If you are going to convert a Wide Screen to normal full screen, then TICK 'Clip Frame', double click on it and set the following:-
Clip Frame:-
Top, Bottom, Left and Right set to 38 (or set as required).
Tick:- Resized image is used to display preview.
Select 'Arange Settings'
Select 'Full Screen' )).

Select 'Audio' tab:-
Stream type: MPEG-1 layer II
Sampling frequency: 44100 Hz (or 32,000 with 192 below)
Channel mode: Stereo. (Could try 'mono' later)
Bitrate: 224 kbits/sec (or 192 with 32,000 above)
De-emphasis flag: None.

Select 'System' tab:-
Stream type: MPEG-1 Video-CD
Select 'OK' button at bottom of page when ready.
Select 'Start' at top left of screen.
There you have it.

Note:-
I think a simple colour correction is needed when converting etc. The colour lowers slightly on conversion, so a correction is a 'MUST'. Although these setting increase the time for conversion, the results are well worth waiting for.
Just convert a 30 second strip of film to see the results. Adjust where necessary, then do the complete film.
