Please help. I captured a VHS tape with my DV cam using this guide: http://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=244151
I compressed the file with VirtualDub [Video: DivX / Audio: Lame Mp3, 48,000 Hz, 128 kbps CBR stereo, 16kb/s]
When I play the compressed avi, I only hear sound on the left side. How do I make it on both sides? I eventually would like to put it in a DVD.

Does the original DV file have audio in both channels ?
Why, if you want to put in a DVD, did you then compress it to Divx ? You are throwing away a lot of quality this way. keep it as DV until you need to encode it to mpeg-2 for DVD.

Hi guns1inger... Thank you for your reply. OMG, had i only known, i would have encoded right away while it was still a DV file. I did the "capture" long time ago and didn't have enough HD space to store the file so I compressed and burned it as a CD data file. Now I am encoding this compressed file so I could burn and create a DVD out of it. Unfortunately, wasn't able to check whether the original DV had both channels. So is it still possible to make the sound heard on both sides with this compressed AVI?

Open the file in virtualdubmod and click on Streams->Stream List. Click on the audio track, then click on Demux to save the audio as a separate file. Open this file in an audio editor and copy the left channel into the empty right channel. Save this as a wav file (uncompressed PCM audio).
Open the avi file Virtualdubmod again, and click on Streams->Stream List. Click Add, and select your new Wav file. Click on the mp3 audio track and click on Disable, then OK. Finally, click on File->Save As and save a new version of the avi with the fixed audio. Make sure your mode is set to Direct Stream Copy.
