Hey guys,

I have a couple projects that jave very long footage... some where the wav files go above 2Gig... for those projects, sound stops after 2gb.

anyone know of another pluggin I could use to load audio and then audiodub() them?

another option is to chop down the wav files in two part...

but if I do this, I need to be able to specify different trims for the audio part, and another for the video part...

anyone has some inputs on this problem?

yeah, I saw that post... but that's for opening the wav file into a external program to modify it... my problem is with opening it within avisynth... unless there's a way explained on that thread that I missed.


I have no problem in opening the file and cutting it to 2 wav files... my problem is having avisynth link the wav and the video part together....

IE the d2v will need a tril of say (300000,320000) for one chapter, but the audio cuts at say 300000 frames.

so what I'm looking for is for a way to either trim the audio part (then I can use the original d2v at 300000,320000 and use the audio2.wav file from say 0-20000 if I'd have audio2 start at 300000 of original file)

OR

using another avisynth pluggin that would let me open the wav file fully

I can't see any 2GB restriction. I currently have one 3.5hr capture in one single AVI file on my HD and the audio track is not cut off at any point. The size of the audio track is 2.19GB according to VDub. I also had a 4hr capture some time ago and no problems with it either.

your audio is inside the avi, that might be it?


this is how I combine the audio

# SOURCE
video=mpeg2source("s:\dvds\shap\nn01\nn01.d2v")
audio=WAVsource("s:\dvds\shap\nn01\nn01_02.wav")
z = AudioDub(video,audio)

#TRIM
z=Trim(z,309320,323162)


if I open the script in virtualdub, there would be no sound... looks like avisynth is NOT passing the sound past a certain point...

when I opened the avs script in nandub to re-export the sound, it worked exporting it...
kinda puzzled right now..

Hi all,

There is another thread in the vdub/vdubmod with the same subject. Perhaps it helps:

Vdub doesn't handle audio above 2 gigs? (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=93479)
