1 Ch. 16-bit LPCM from DVD2AVI

[leisuredoc]

Anyone that can help me,

I am trying to convert an old, 1931 vintage, digitally rendered movie on a DVD to AVI format and, after all of the steps, have a DivX .avi file with audio that's half the duration but twice the speed of normal. In the beginning of the rip, Smart Ripper's INFO.txt file says the audio, on track 1, is LPCM (1 Ch) 48 kHz format at 16-bits.

Going back to DVD2AVI, I have tried both "Auto" as well as selecting "Linear PCM" for the Audio/Channel Format menu choice. After VFAPIConv-EN converting it to a .wav file, I still get the same double speed but half the length in duration .wav file. It may be due to the fact that audio was "mono" back in '31. Is there any way to fool DVD2AVI into thinking that this is a 24 kHz audio bitrate or something like that to slow down the audio digitization?

Many thanks for any help you can offer!

What format does dvd2avi say it is when it's saving it? You might also try opening up the vob in BeSweet and transcoding the audio directly and not have an intermediate file. And BeSweet will most likely get the input type right and transcode it correctly and not double the speed. Another option is to have SmartRipper demux the audio.

BeSweet's Mono2Stereo plugin will do the job ;)

Thanks, Suzahara and DSPguru. I downloaded BeSweet yesterday and, since it is going to snow 6 to 8 inches tomorrow, I think I have some time to learn it between shovellings.

Many thanks for your wisdom and guidance!
