Appending an audio file onto an AVI

[filefreak]

I ripped a DVD using SmartRipper and used GKnot to encode it and all, and when it was done I had an AVI file with no sound. The log said that there was an error putting the audio in with the video and that I could do it later. I'm assuming that the .AC3 file contains the audio that I need, but I would like to know how I would append an audio file to an AVI.

Any help on the subject would be appreciated.

Thanks.

depends if you want to keep the .ac3 or not in the avi/divx file

if not (simple way)

<<----- tools on the left, download azid
open a command window and type azid filename.ac3 filename.wav
when that is done
open virtualdub www.virtualdub.org
open avi in virtualdub, select menu: VIDEO/DIRECT STREAM
select menu: AUDIO/WAV AUDIO and point it to your .WAV file

select preview (play1 button) to see if the audio is in sync

if it is,

select menu: AUDIO/FULL PROCESSING then set your compression (mp3) and bitrate and if you downsample from 48->44 select that in menu: AUDIO/CONVERSION. Personally I wouldn't bother as 48 is OK.

now encode the video (audio actually)

-

if your audio is not in sync, look in the menu: AUDIO/INTERLEAVING and select a delay time for the audio to start at.

if you need the audio to start sooner, try -300 in the audio skew box and work your way up or down with the preview button. same if you need the audio to start later, just don't put a - in the number.
