Problem extracting audio track using Virtualdub

[BrianK]

I am trying to extract the audio track from a divx .avi file to a .wav file using Virtualdub. It is giving me an error 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."

When I check the file information in Virtualdub, the audio compression says: "Unknown (tag 2000)"

Any ideas on how I can extract this audio track?

Thanks!!

i find when it does that that the avi has to be decompressed

take a look at www.data-uca.150m.com/vcdencoding.doc
