Problem extracting sound from an AVI / MKV

[Dustin013]

I am having some issues with exacting audio out of one of my video files. Originally it was in AVI but I have converted the AVI into an MKV and tried that way as well. Video 1 is the problem, however video 2 works. I have used VideoInfo Tool 3.1 to get the information below.

It is obvious that Video1 was encoded differently than Video2, I just can't figure out how to extract the MP3. I convert the AVI into an MKV and use MKVExtract and I get a mp3 file that doesn't play.

I also did the following with mplayer:

mplayer.exe test.avi -dumpaudio -dumpfile test.mp3

MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team

Playing test.avi.

Exiting... (End of file)

Still left with an MP3 with no audio :(

Video 2 will work both ways when I try to exact the audio.


Any suggestions?

Why did you put this thread in MPEG-4 AVC section????

Oh sorry, I am trying to create h.264 MP4 encodes. My bad, where should I post this?

Your audio is AC3 (Dolby Digital), not MP3. Try changing the extension to ".ac3". If the file still doesn't play with MPlayer, try mplayer -demuxer rawaudio -rawaudio format=0x2000 file.ac3
