advanced question regarding audio

[stanky]

I'm kind of new to ripping (done about 10 movies since January) but I have been able to get several successful rips. Full credit to this great site.

What I was wondering was how Gknot combines the mp3 with the video.

I've been using the divx4.12 codec very successfully. The movie looks and plays very well. The problem I've been having is when I try to take a segment out of the movie (to keep) using virtual dub, the movie's playback is extremely bad, like it's hanging up. The audio is fine, but the video clips like crazy.

As a test, I used a segment from the final ".avi" (with audio) and the final "_movie.avi" (with no audio) and the segment with audio clipped and the segment without audio played back fine.

So I'm not sure why once the Gknot adds the audio to the movie, it can not be split into playable parts with virtual dub.

Any ideas? If you need more info, please ask and I will reply. This is getting frustrating for me.

Thanks,
Stanky

if the audio is abr or vbr mp3 then theres ur answer as virtual dub cant handle these types of audio..you need to use nandub

If you watch a typical Gknot job stream, you'll see[list=1]
Azid run to determine peak dB
Azid 2nd pass to transcode to wav
Lame to transcode to mp3
single Vdub pass for constant quality credits
2 Vdub passes for the main video
Nandub to combine main video, end credits video, and interleave audio

I guess that wasn't such an advanced question :rolleyes:

Using nandub to chop the movie worked fine.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you :p

And the only stupid question is the one that's never asked...

Oh well I guess I don't really need to decompress audio file in virtual then recompress then split the file. hehe never even thought about using nandub. Thx for the tip :) That process didn't sit well with me anyways so I've been troubleshooting Gknot trying to figure out what I've been doing wrong so thx for saving me the time I will now use nandub to split the files.
