Joining audio (VBR) & video Problem

[CharlyAR]

I managed to put my hands on some copy of Scooby Doo, but it was a huge file of more than 1GB.

So I re-procesed it, but now when I try to join with the audio (not re-procesed), Nandub _ALWAYS_ crashes at the same point of the movie.

Any ideas?

although nandab is capable of doing this, it produces a non standard avi file (avi file can't handle vbr audio natively). the best format currently for vbr audio would be ogg/ogm (and vorbis will prob give u better results than mp3)

When muxing with Nandub, did you use Direct Stream Copy for both audio and video? That way, Nandub should be doing no more than interleaving, without examining the content of either.

[CharlyAR]

Yes, is direct stream copy... that's why I don understand what's wrong.

And altough I know that Ogg/Vorbis would be better, the fact is that I want to share the movie with someone else, MP3 is standard and I don't need any soft. I can put the DivX 5 codec/player in the same CD and that's it. But Ogg is another codec, another soft, another problem...

Besides, I think GordianKnot has no support to it... Am I wrong?

I believe you may be blaming the wrong tool. The problem you are having ... whatever it is... may have nothing to do with GKnot.

GKnot is an encoding suite. It consists of a GUI, and a suite of other people's products: VirtualDub, Nandub, AviSynth, SmartRipper, etc...

Your problem may be in one of these subsidiary products; or, it may be due to installing an updated version of one of these subsidiary programs that doesn't integrate with other programs in the suite, or, you may have installed improperly, or you may have done something procedurally that caused this problem.

If you feel this is GKnot related, or that the community of users there might be able to provide insight ... I recommend you open a thread in Doom9's GKnot forum, with a link pointing back to this thread. That way, it isn't a cross-post; and more eyes on your problem may help.

GKnot was written by and is supported by theWEF.

Errrh......

I wasn't blaming GordianKnot at all!!! :-?
Someone told me that MP3 would be better, and I just answered. It had nothing to do with the problem that I have *ONLY* with this specific movie...

...that I didn't even ripped!

Thanks anyway... I think. :)

maybe the audio has corrupt frames and makes Nandub crash?

Maybe someone in the audio forum can help you with analyzing the audio and fixing it in case it is corrupt.
