How do I fix audio on avi file I want to make vcd?

[Faithfully]

I have an avi file that I put into virtual dub, while I'm dubbing I can hear bleeps in the audio, ie, chirp, pop, crack. I don't know how to explain, it happen randomly. Does anyone have any good advice?

You didn't recently upgrade to XP did you? What kind of audio & video card do you have?

I ask because when I switched to XP I got chirps and cracks in audio and it ended up being a Creative audio card would not work properly with a GEForce video card.

I've read about others trying to remove bad sounds, but it seems complicated and the end results are less than perfect.

No, I have the problem on my millenium and xp computers. I have 2 pcs.

Do you hear the pops and clicks in the original avi? Or just when trying to convert it?

I also wondered if I should run the avi through virtual dub before I extract the audio? or after?

In the original avi.

Then you're stuck with it unless you want to install more prgrams to try to remove it. Do a search for audio problems, cracks, clicks and you will see lots of lengthy responses from people who've offered advice & instructions.

As I said, it is not simple to do and after the work you probably would not be 100% happy with it anyway.

Good luck.

For next posts :c) try to get as much info in at the start and more people will be able to help.

Neither way will help with the sound problem I'm afraid.

Did you download the file ?

Yes, the file is a download. AUDIO CODEC: MPEG Layer 3 Decoder- VIDEO CODEC: DivX MPEG-4 Video Decompressor.

Gees is right. If you hear it in the original avi file, and you hear it on more than one computer, then it is probably part of the audio track and there is nothing you are doing wrong.

The only thing you can do is load it into a sound editor and run a pop remover filter on it. That won't remove it completly and it may reduce the quality of your sound, but its pretty much your only option except living with the pops.

As I don't do much sound editing, I can't recommend a program though.

i save the audio to a wave file. Then use nero wave editor and just normallize the pops. You may end up with a noticable quiet part of your audio but it is better than those annoying beeps, pops, chirps.....etc.
