Remuxing and recoding automation

[getnate]

Hi,

I have many AVI files with AC3 audio and want to convert their audio tracks to VBR-192 MP3 stereo without altering the video. Here is the process I use:

1. Demux ac3 audio with AVIDEMUX
2. Encode to vbr mp3 with BESWEET
3. Mux mp3 into avi with AVIDEMUX

The process works semi-quick with good results and leaves the video untouched however it is very manual. I am looking for automation that will allow me to queue up several jobs and run them while I am gone. I am tempted to write some automatin nfor this but want to ask if something like this already exists.

Thanks,
Nate

Thanks, this works great.

I had to install the AC3 ACM and the Lame MP3 ACM before VirtualDubMod was able to decompress the AC3 and recompress as MP3.

For those of you with a Creative Zen this method works great. The Creative Zen is not able to decode AC3 which is why I need to convert my videos to MP3. Please note however I only tested this with 2 channel AC3; I havnt tested it with 5.1 channel AC3.
