wav to mp3 help

[blankie]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a .wav file that I got from extracting an .avi file using TMPG. The .wav file is as big as the original .avi file ~180mb. Too big to put many of these onto my PDA's memory stick. Is there a way to convert this file and compress it too?

BTW. I've tried BeSweet and BeSweetGUI and they keep asking for some .exe file that I can't seem to locate in the download.

Any help appreciated!

i extract the sound of an avi file, using virtualdudmod/ streams/ stream list/ save wav....
i got decent size for the wav ( 1Mo for 1 min)BUT can't compress it with cdex or other prog such as besweet gui (asking for the lame exe too...)
any suggest ?
whould it be possible to extract the avi sound (already compressed in mp3 128) without the wav/mp3.... operation ?
thx for your help

that wav file is the mp3, i think vdubmod just adds a flag to it or something, you'll have to search more for the answer to that one. besplit might do the job your looking for.

too big for a pa3 ? don't ya think ?
i will look for besplit...:confused:

yeah, i was hoping to get an output that is about half the size of the .avi or smaller. but both the .wav and .mpg each came out to be the same size as the .avi. some help for us please.

Graphedit is the best program for demuxing files like that. When you install it, you can click on "File" then "Render Media File" and it gets the file with the appropriate demuxers and decoders. The last two will be the output to the screen and soundcard. You can then delete those two, and place an Mp3 encoder (if you absolutely must, Ogg vorbis is the best codec, AAC is close behind IMHO) in the sequence. The end must be terminated with a file writer of some sort. Here is a good example of how to use graphedit, although it is a totally different format that what you are wanting (sorry that it is not a direct application).

So you can read it to get a general overview of how Graphedit works.

Hope this helps....
