Splitting

[krunch]

I'm trying to split the audio and video from a XviD file
I'm using virtualdub using these options

Full Processing Mode
Audio Conversion: 44100Hz
Audio Compression: <No compression(PCM)>

But I get this error

VirtualDub Error
The requested audio compression is not compatible with the input format. Check that the sampling rate and channel count of the input match those of the requested format.

is there any onther way to rip the audio out???

This is still no VDub forum, BUT:

- start vdub
- load your avi
- choose "auido - full processing" if you want decompressed wav output
- leave audio menu as is if you just wnat the mp3 ripped out.

now go to "file" mneu and choose "save wav"

Pick a filename of your choice (e.g. my audio.mp3 if you didn't decompress the audio) and after some minutes you'e done.

I've tryed that
the only way i can get the audio out of it is using direct stream copy
but then the audio file can't be used

@krunch,

First you have to know first the audio codec used in your avi,
try use Gspot, and follow the Koepi's guide, just make sure
you choose "direct stream copy" from audio menu.
Better do not touch any audio compression setting...
after you save WAV, rename the .wav to .mp3 if the the audio
is Mp3.

PS. I prefer use Nandub to do split thing.

Thank you.

If I use Direct stream copy the file is unplayable
as .WAV or .MP3
what i'm trying to do is convert a XviD to VCD using the same methods as DivX witch do not work, video does but not audio
the audio stream is AC3

the errors I get when doing it the same way as DivX is
VirtualDub Error
ACM failed to suggest audio decompression format

VirtualDub Error
AVIOutputWAV: The handle is invalid.

@krunch,

ah.... AC3!
I've got your point,
try follow this thread... I hope it might help you.

but.. the point is :

Extract the AC3 from the original files using File -> Save WAV, change the extension into ac3 and run the thing through AC3fix that way:
ac3fix oldfilename.ac3 newfilename.ac3


After you get the .AC3 file, then you could convert it to whatever
format you want (wav/mp3/ogg), just use DSPguru's BeSweet.

Good luck!
