major probs with virtualDUB

[digitalworld]

i've got a d/led DivX movie that i want to convert to mpeg,when i follow the "how to" guide everything seems to go ok until i try to save the wav.i get an error box saying " the requested audio compression is not compatible with the input format.check that the sampling rate and channel count of the input match those of the requested format"
i have tried leaving the sample rate as 48000 instead of 41000 but it still brings up the same error.this has only happened with this one film i'm trying to convert all others have worked fine.
i've got all the codecs installed and tried the older version of virtualDUB but get no joy.
does anyone have any idea how i can convert extract the audio without getting this error or is there a proggie out there that will do the same as virtualDUB

thx

Its probably an AC3 file.
A - You can use CoolEdit and select extract Audio from Video File. Gives you the full size Wave file.

Or B: Use Virtua Dub and select Direct streaming instead of full processing, then change the extention from .wave to .ac3
Gives you the compressed form.

A - Works a treat.

thanks for the reply the second option you gave me worked but what do i do with the compressed audio file now, how do i change the file extention.

i just had a look at the decompressor type and its divx 5.0.2 codec

Can't help you there I`m afraid. .Someone once said rename it to .ac3 But it didn`t work for me

load the ac3 in besweet and convert it to wav and load wav into your encoding program ...

The guy has a point. Should convert it to a nice MP2 . why didn`t I think of that
