GraphEdit and XVID [Archive]

I have DVR-MS files (Windows media center wrapped mpeg2) and I'm trying to make XVIDs out of them with graphedit in one step.

I setup the mpeg2 audio/video decoders, use ffdshow w/ XVID to do the video. It's sent to the AVI MUX and then to the file writer.

On the audio side I'm having trouble getting it to work. Neither the MP3 ACM or the LAME dshow filter can connect to the AVI AUX.
If I use Trobettworks Filter Configurator I can get the ACM to connect but it just seems to hang when I run the graph.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I just want to graph an mp3 based XVID.

I don't have your answer, and since you've languished for four days without a reply, we'll send this over to the XviD forum. Good luck.

Didn't this thread start off here?

Sure did.

I don't think I'm having much luck.

I didn't realize this one had been moved to Noobs. If nothing else, you've gotten a free "bump" out of the deal. :) Good luck...

This is about:

- using graphedit
- mp3 codecs

NOT XviD. Why do you put it to the xvid forum? sending back to capturing forum this time, at least it's about captured stuff with audio codec not working somehow. It's more n00bish about GraphEdit in the end I fear ;)

It's not really a capture issue; its post processing what is in effect a Msoft proprietary format. Perhaps "General" is the best place for this ... so if it doesn't get any help from the analog capture membership in the next 24-48 hours, I'll move it there.

I did find http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43316&highlight=dvrms which points to another member having GraphEdit trouble with these files. It doesn't directly point to CC's problem, but it may help.

Just guessing here...

the AVI-Mux filter probably doesnt know how it should interleave or handle MP3 as it is not strictly an acm format. Unfortunately there is not a real solution for it... you could use another container format, or encode the streams separtely and mux afterwards with VDM or AVImux GUI.

The AVI-Mux filter in graphedit produces broken AVIs anyway IIRC.
