Encoding to LAME directly in vdub

[Cyberia]

Can this be done? I have looked around and didn't see anything like it. I want to be able to encode audio with LAME directly from vdub. Which means LAME has to be added as a compression codec.

Surely someone has done the work to do this?

[Unarmed]

If I remember correctly, the LAME binaries for win32 came with a LAME ACM codec in 3.92. I'd imagine that release, or anything newer, would have the ACM version as well. Check the ZIP package for a readme on installing it.

could i ask why??

you could write a .bat file to do it...but you'll have to figure out how to get vdub autostart on load

@echo off
mylame.bat (with your CL options)
START vdub.exe (with your profile and job loaded..and autostart :-/)

although why do you want it to do this?

[ChristianHJW]

Vdub/VdubMod can only use ACM codecs for audio encoding, and the ACM API has no proper support for modern VBR encoding, like Lame does ...

[Cyberia]

I didn't realize that the ACM API doesnt handle VBR. But still now that I have it the ACM may come in handy from time to time.

WHY Did I want it? Because I had an AviSynth script that handled both the video and audio of a movie and I didnt want to encode each separately and then mux.

Ultimately I had to anyway, but the LAME ACM could be useful.

Thanks for the response.

The LAME ACM codec is at least better than the well-known Radium codec. But if you want best quality, you have to use the standalone encoder (or BeSweet).
