Problem extracting audio from a particular divx..

[end80]

I am having problems extracting the audio out of a divx that I don't usually have and I can't figure out why.
The Divx plays fine in media player before attempting any conversions.

Virtualdub does not give an error when I open it, but if I try to play it (while still in virtual dub) it says "no audio decompressor can be found.."

I am able to extract the audio to wave using AVI2WAV, but then in Headache it can not find the data chunk of the wav..
So I tried using the extracted wave I got from AVI2WAV as the audio source in TMPEg directly - but the end results is a kind of garbled, skipping audio...
(I then played the wave by itself in media player and found it too was a garbled output).

I have all my codecs installed properly so far as I can tell.
This is an entirely new problem to me that I can't seem to get past on my own.. Hoping for some advice.

The following is the audio information I gathered from GSpot:

Name: ac3 (0x2000) "Dolby Laboratories, Inc"
Bit Rate: 384 kb/s (76/ch x 5 ch)
FS: 48000 Hz
Audio Media: MEDIASUBTYPE_DOLBY_AC3
Audio Codec: AC3 Prologic Decoder -->Morgan Stream Switcher
Stream Type and A/V interleave: OpenDML AVI
IL: Not supported
IMRR: n.s.
File rendered successfully, no errors reported.


Any help appreciated! It's driving me crazy!

Hello

Did you try using the MPEG-2/AC-3 mod of VirtualDub?

It means you don't have an AC3 codec installed. There's a free one in the tools section. PowerDVD or WinDVD also install one. When you extract, you don't have a WAV, you have an AC3 (for direct stream copy). Use Headache on it.

Well... Thanks! I installed the MPEG-2/AC-3 mod of VirtualDub and it solved the problem,... Funny thing is that I had already installed that a long time ago and have extracted many AC3 audios before.
I guess somehow it must have got corrupted or something.
I dont know, but it works now that I re-installed it.

Thanks again
