No sound when converting OGM to AVI

[vps]

Hi !

I have this OGM file I'm trying to make an AVI out of.
Looks like nothing complicated, but whatever I do, I get no audio when I save an .AVI. This is using "full processing" on the audio stream, and recoding into MP3. I have to use "Save WAV" from "Stream List" screen, and then add this ".wav" into the stream list in the same session, and then save .avi using this new stream as an audio source, only then this works.
I don't see the difference betwen 'saving .wav' and just muxing it into an .avi file.... The .ogm info is below. This is using VDubMod 1.5.10.1

Thanks !
vps.

for the last time, you cannot mux Vorbis into AVI. convert it to MP3.

Why dont you mux your Vorbis + XviD streams into Matroska ?

Tools:

AviMux

or MKVToolnix

Eh... he tried that. "Full processing" on an audio stream means you have to reencode it...

Dunno why this shouldn't work when saving to WAV works, though.

np: Markus Guentner - Gattaca (Regensburg Remixe)

If I was only sure my Philips DVP642 would play that :)
I'd rather leave it as OGG anyway.

I have doubts if you really uncompressed the audio to WAV and do not just have a Vorbis stream with a WAV header. It is easier to convert the audio by demuxing it and then re-encode it to MP3 with e.g. foobar and mux it with VDM again.

for reencoding vorbis to mp3 _in virtualdub_ you would need a vorbis acm decoder, which doesnt really exist (vorbis isnt really suitable for vfw)

That is possible, the file does have this weird 0x84FB at the beginning. However, the file size is as it's compressed, then it could only compress it with MP3, as that is that was set in VDubMod. When I remux this MP3 (direct stream copy) and recode video into an .avi file, it looks OK, at least VirtualDub (_NOT_ Mod) report sane audio and video streams.

Btw, what's "foobar" ? :confused: I haven't really found any tools on doom9's software page, that can make an MP3(or PCM) from OGG (only vise a versa).

Thanks !

foobar (or foobar2000)? use google. basically, it is an audio player, but it can also recode tracks from codec x to codec y. You probably will find some more info in the audio encoding forum (try stickies).

What MP3 codec are you using? LAME (http://lame.sourceforge.net) is the best MP3 codec out there and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Saying that, is the video stream you got being copied via "Direct Stream Copy"?
