Audio Demuxing and re-encode

[XPecto]

Hello Everyone.
What i want to ask is that, is it Aright to Trim credits and endings Avi files using Avisynth and encoding videos.
Then using trimming parameters in Virtualdub to dump Audio file

• if i want to copy audio i use "Source Audio" and direct stream copy*
• Else Export Wave file with full processing and then re-encode

Finally muxing.


IS this okay or Just a bad way?
i also demux audio using mplayer is this okay too?
is there any other better way?


-----

(i case of mp3 i use hex edit to change first 4-5 bytes from Riff to ID3 to make it acceptable in Mkv merge but some 152 byte header is skipped during muxing.) )

You can do this with VirtualDub ('Direct stream copy') with the 'Select Range' option. You don't need recode.

To extract and mux audio tracks use always VirtualDubMod

Is a mp3 in a wav container, id you use 'Demux' with VirtualDubMod don't need hex edit.

Thank you tebasuna51,

What about demuxing with mplayer?
i need something of a batch demux tool.

I have problems with mplayer. I don't know.

You can use avi2raw.exe with:
avi2raw -a input.avi demuxed.mp3
