.dat to XviD

[Irshad]

I wanted to convert my VCDs to single CD XviDs. Did a search in the forum and found a few useful links. One of it directs me to use the DirectShowSource avisynth plugin to load the .dat files as below
DirectShowSource("Path to my .dat file\file.dat",fps=25)
It plays correctly in bsplayer. Gordian Knot also loads it without any errors. I set all the proper options and saved the new avs file using a different name and added it as a new job in gk and encoded it. All the settings were for 1 CD rip, but the output file turns out to be around 1.3GB. I didn't rip the audio separately and provide the video alone to gk. During the final encode also, audio processing was disabled. The output had sound. What could be the problem ? I would like to get a 1 CD rip of the VCDs.

Hi-

Open the AVI in GSpot. Did the audio get converted to PCM/WAV, by chance? If that doesn't help, perhaps post the log.

[Irshad]

I checked it in GSpot. It shows PCM Audio (48000Hz 112 kb/s total (2 chnls)). I',m a bit ignorant abt PCM format. What should I do ? Rip the audio separately and give it to gk. Also, the bitrate shown in GSpot is 1814 kbps. How did it get so high ? Normally the bitrates I get for 1 CD rips are around 600 kbps.

Hi-

That's why your movie got so bloated then. It's full of WAV audio. Assuming you allowed space for the MP3 audio, the whole thing may still fit on 1 CD. Extract the original audio from the VCD (or the PCM/WAV from the AVI), and either let GKnot reencode it for you, or do it yourself in BeSweet or HeadAC3he, and then mux it back into the AVI.

Also, the bitrate shown in GSpot is 1814 kbps. How did it get so high ?

I don't know. Maybe it's a short video. Again, seeing the log might help.

You didn't allow any room for the audio, so even if you were to reencode the audio to MP3 or whatever, it would still go way over 1 CD. And it says the video bitrate is 695. However, I've seen cases where the bitrate figure given by GSpot was wrong. You might try and save the video without the audio to see if GKnot did its job correctly. To do that, open the AVI in VDubMod, set Video to Direct Stream Copy, Go Streams->Streams List, set Audio to Disable, and then File->Save as, and give it a new name.

You're screwed anyway, as you're going way over 1 CD. You'll have to start over. This time maybe demux the audio from the MPEG before running it through GKnot.

BeSweet was not able to process the audio from the .dat files. So I extracted the audio as a wave file using VirtualDub. The file is around 1.38GB. I'm encoding the movie now. Will post the results soon.

Thank you manono for ur fast and precise reply.

[Irshad]

And finally everything is alright. I got it converted to a 700MB CD xvid. Only problem is that the wave file is around 1.38GB and the encoded video file before muxing is 1.94GB. After muxing the mp3, gk gave the precise size I had given as input. I used the eqm_v3ulr_rev3 CQM for the purpose. It gave amazing results with the video.

Once again, thank you manono for all ur help.

But there is one small problem. The audio and video becomes out of sync after about 1h 27min (total 2h 20min). The source file dosen't have any such problem. I had joined the two .dat file and renamed it to mpg to get the source file used for encoding. What can be done in this regard ?
