AVI file won't work in AVIsynth, AVI-Mux, but works with everything else

[mesmerist]

Hi,

I'm processing a video file (to picture-in-picture), which ends up not having sound. After the processing is done, I wanted to splice the original sound back in.

Problem is, the original file won't work with AVIsynth or AVI-Mux. I think it's a type 1 DV-AVI file, and the processed file is type 2, but that shouldn't matter, right?

What might I try to clean up the files? Or strip the audio from the original and combine it? The files play everywhere else, including windows media player.

I've been trying stuff for a week and a half, with no luck. So any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum.

If you want to use audio from your DV file within AviSynth (via AviSource), you need to feed a DV type-2 file. Use one of the free DV type-1 / type-2 converters from the "Links" sticky thread.

Thanks, bb. I figured the type1 problem out after you moved my thread to this section. Thanks also for pointing out the links - downloaded Ulead's DV1 to DV2 converter.

I'm set, I think!
