how to get vbr audio out,go to wav and remux

[stevensunnies]

I'm sorry to ask such an obvious question but I cant get vdub mod to save out as wave. I have a vbr audio divx avi.

Vdmod gives the usual message about vbr audio on opening the file. Save wave gives an mp3 file with a wave file extension! I had to rename and use Nero to get to wave.

I now want to seperate the video out and get the wave audio back in to the avi. Can any one give a description of this process please. The demux button in stream list gives an mp3 audio file. Where is the video file with no audio? How do I recombine them?

A WAV file is just a primitive audio container. While it customarily contains PCM audio, it can contain other audio types as well, such as MP3.

If you want VDubMod to save as wav-pcm, instead of wav-mp3, right click the stream and select Full processing mode before clicking Save WAV.

In order to replace an audio stream:
Open the original AVI file.
Go to the Stream list.
Select the old stream and click Disable.
Click Add and select the file containing the new stream.
Go to Video and select Direct stream copy.
Go to File\Save As... and save the new file.

But if all you want to do is convert the audio from mp3 to pcm, you can skip all the above:
Open the original AVI file.
Go to the Stream list.
Right click the mp3 stream and select Full processing mode.
Go to Video and select Direct stream copy.
Go to File\Save As... and save the new file.

Thank you mimungr. I didn't know wav can be anything.

If you want VDubMod to save as wav-pcm, instead of wav-mp3, right click the stream and select Full processing mode before clicking Save WAV.

However when I do a save to pcm wave I get

ACM reported error on audio decompress(B)


Does the audio codec used by vdubmod not like vbr?
