Lame > 192 Kbit = Unknow File Format (DivX)

[ipfreak]

I'm not sure if this is the right board or better go to the LAME site,
but what i want to do is encoding a DivX 4.12 movie,
and the failure must be the LAME encoded MP3 file.


my test VOB is 5 MB (the audio stream out of it is a 1.567 Kbyte WAV file)
i use LAME with this parameters:

LAME.exe -h -b 192 SOURCE.WAV TARGET.MP3
or
LAME.exe -m s -h -b 192 SOURCE.WAV TARGET.MP3

the resulting MP3 file is 198 Kbyte of size

when MUXING the AVI with this MP3 using AviMux everything is all right.
but if the KBit-rate of the MP3 is more than 192 (eq.: 256, 320) something
gets wrong??
Muxing completes without error but when playing the final AVI:

Mediaplayer say's: Cannot playback the file. Format not supported
bPlay say's: Unknown file format


Has someone a idea where the devil is burried?

ThX, chris

I'd rather guess that AviMux is doing something wrong...

* Can you open the AVI file with VirtualDub?
* Does muxing with Nandub produce a well-working AVI?

I'd always recommend muxing MP3 audio into AVIs using Nandub - Nandub even supports MP3 with variable bitrate (e.g. made by LAME in ABR or VBR mode) and up to 2 audio streams; it is widely known to be a quite reliable application. Be sure to use "Direct stream copy" for both audio and video before saving!

I've automatet my DivX encoding.
When i use Nandub i need to let it work alone
by giving a job file or something else. (maybe parameters)

Nandub should also quit when encoding is done.

Some ideas?

The only way I know to automate Nandub is creating the main job list. I hope you can get some hints from the way GordianKnot works.

will try, thx
