Audio question for videos... How do I remove a low buzz?

[Deathbliss]

I found some free tutorials for Max that detail how to build a castle. Problem is there is a constant low hum in the recording. I think the author used TESCC for the video, but I have no clue what was used for audio. Is there a program anyone here would recommend that would easily allow the user to remove such noise, without putting the audio out of sync? This is similar to the .mp3 question regarding the low hum, but that was strictly audio. I'm working with audio and video here.

Appreciate the help!

Hi!I found some free tutorials for Max that detail how to build a castle.What does this mean? Who is Max?

I think the author used TESCC for the video, but I have no clue what was used for audio.What is "TESCC"?

[Deathbliss]

The tutorials are for the program 3DS Max. I didn't go into detail because it's irrelevant to the issue.

TESCC, and I may have spelled the abbreviation wrong, is the Techsmith Screen Capture Codec. I thought it was relevant that I mention what encoder was used for the video.

The correct 4CC for that is "TSCC".


I have no clue what was used for audio.Load the file into "GSpot" - and then post the audio codec used back here...

(Yes, I've seen that they are free downloads)

It says MPEG-2 Layer 3

That's the full name of ".MP3".

You can use VirtualDubMOD to de-multiplex the .AVI, follow the suggestions in the thread about low hum in .MP3 - and then use VirtualDubMOD again to remultiplex the new, corrected .MP3 audiostream with the original videostream...

Well I've searched around and looked at VirtualDubMod but I see no way to de-multiplex a video. In fact I have no audio options at all in VDM! Is there a tutorial somewhere covering this?

Thank you for your reply and the information. I will Google it next.

I guess you haven't looked under the "Streams" dropdown menu ;>}

GOT IT! I decided to try Audacity. I used a High Pass filter to remove the noise, a simple amplify to make it louder, then re-added this to the video. It's a little tinny sounding, but it works. Wouldn't mind advice as to other ways to deal with removing undesirable stuff from audio though, as I'm sure my method ain't the best since I know next to nothing about any of this.

Thanks again!
