My last thread got closed because the mod thought i was talking about downloading an illegal video, let me clarify:

Ok i have an avi file that i downloaded from my work's server, it is a long promotional video on a new product that our company is releasing and i have to review it and show it to my team, our company doesn't have the best media department and i wasn't aware i would have to show it to other people so i now have the task of putting it onto a dvd. That is not the prob, only i was messing with encoders and ctrl-alt-del'd some (stupid yes i know) halfway through because it was taking too long and i screwed the avi up royally. To the point where when i load it up in winamp or realplayer the time skips around frantically and so does the movie.

So i d/l'd a freeware avidefreezer and it fixed the video from jumping around but the audio is all screwed up, it only plays the first opening promo music. I used virtualdubmod to extract the audio than i attempted to put the audio back with VDM again but it basically took about 25+gigs until i ran out of space on my HD. How is this possible? The avi video file is only 3-4gigs i believe.

Is there another program that i can use to strip the bad audio from the newly fixed avi video file and input the .mp3 file that i extracted? Or just an avi fix program?

Thanks.

In VirtualDubMOD, from the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Direct Stream Copy"...

I really don't think you read the announcement I pointed you to. If you did, you'd find that we do not care whether the file is legal or not, we do not offer help on downloaded files. If you are trying to get banned as quickly as possible you're on the right track. Thread closed.
