Compressing PCM Wav to MPeg Layer III 44.1khz wav 192kbps

[duffman72]

I have some problems. I used GOLDWAVE to edit my wav file (it's good because you can just enter the length of the track and it will edit the sound to that speed) However, my wav file is now HUGE. When i save the wav file from Virtual dub movie it was saved as a 124mb file 44.1khz,16bit,stereo,mpeglayer3 192kbps. But GOLDWAVE changes it to 1411kbps PCM and it won't let me save it as its original format. it displays messages about codecs. I want to save it as a wav file not mp3.

So now that my wav file is 877mb and when i save it to virtualdub, I save it as an avi and my 679mb file is 1.33gb (probably becuase of the large sound file)

Can you tell me ways to tackle this problem?

The default in VirtualDub is to pass the audio stream through unchanged. You should enable audio Full Processing Mode, select MP3 as the codec, and then select the bitrate you want.
