Using AutoGK - Getting 'Unsupported Audio" message in logfile

[Hank Kinsley]

I tried to play a particular Xvid movie file on my Divx DVD player yesterday and it gave me an "Unsupported Audio" message on the screen.

Today, I ran the file through AutoGK, thinking that it would fix my problems. Well, at the end, AutoGK gave me a "Unsupported Audio" message in the logfile!

This movie has sound (It plays fine on my computer), so that's not the problem.


What can I do to make this play on my Divx DVD player?

Thanks

Well, what kind of audio is it? GSPot should tell you. You can convert it to something supported by your player (MP3, WAV, AC3) and mux it in yourself.

In AutoGK, it says that the audio is - 128kbps WMA2 2ch.


GSPot is a little confusing to me. What do I do with it?

Hi-

You don't do anything with GSpot. It just tells you what you've got. I didn't even know you could mux WMA into an AVI. Anyway, I don't know how to handle it either. Maybe someone else does. You'll want to convert it to something else, like MP3 audio, mux it with the video, and then play it in your player.

GSpot says this under audio:

Codec: 0x0161(MSAUDIO2/DIVX, Microsoft Corporation)
Stat: Codec installed
Info: 48000Hz 128 kb/s total (2 chnls)


Does that help at all?

Like I said, I don't know how to handle WMA (Windows Media Audio). I've never worked with it before. It has to be extracted and converted to MP3 so your player can play the video and audio. Someone else will have to help. Sorry.

Try export the audio to mp3 with goldwave, open the avi and save as mp3. Then try add the new mp3 to the avi with virtualdubmod, stream->stream list. Delete the wma track and add the mp3 track.

I tried to used goldwave but it is so complicated (I don't know what to do!).

Is there something that's a little easier?

[Hank Kinsley]

How much HHD space do I need open to do this? When I started it it said that the video size was 21-22 GB! The original .avi file was only 750mb.

The sound file I got from goldwave is about 20mb, is that about right?

[Hank Kinsley]

Actually, now I see that the final project was going to be over 100GB's!!!! I must be doing some wrong here.

[Hank Kinsley]

Okay, I switched the encoding to Xvid and now the size is right. I'll let you know how it goes.
