Dr. DivX audio Help needed plz

[n3x]

hello, i'm trying to figure out how to obtain better quality audio in Dr. DivX. I've searched these forums a bit and found one answer that may help me do exactly what i want.

https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=212509&highlight=drdivx+audio

Summary:

rip x-code and mux the audio yourself.
dvd2avi - demux all tracks
x-code- ac3-to-mp3 convertor (your choice) besweet
mux-avimux join video and mp3 file into one file

problem is i have both besweet and avi-mux and cannot figure them out for the life of me, i dont really know what i need to do exactly. I dont really like audio that goes up and down in certain scenes (VBR i think) so i believe a constant bit rate would be more to my preference. I dont know if i should try wav or mp3 conversion, i'm just trying to get better quality audio that what Dr. Divx produces, i think it possibly has problems in this area i'm not for certain but i tried all sorts of different combinations of settings and i think its a VBR audio only. Is there a guide to doing this that anyone might know of online somewhere or could someone possibly give me a step by step quickie on the matter?

If anyone knows of a better way to have nice quality CBR audio with an existing divx movie please by all means feel free to enlighten me
Any and all help is always much appreciated. Thx.

Here's what you can do:

1 - Use DVD2AVI to extract (demux) your AC3 audio from your .VOB files.

2 - Use AC3Tool to take it to WAV

3 - Open the video file with no audio in VirtualDub, and go to Audio --> WAV Audio. Select your WAV file.

4 - Still in the Audio menu, select "Full Compression Mode" and then select "Compression". Use "Lame MP3" and select what you want. Why not use VBR (called ABR in VirtualDub) - it will yield better quality for less space.

5 - Go to Video --> Direct Stream Copy

6 - Go to File --> Save as AVI and save it. This will mux your audio with your video.

If anyone else knows a better method (this is a bit complex for a simple task) then please correct me!

If you don't want to do through all this again, try AutoGK (for newer users) or Gordian Knot (if you're up to something a little more challenging). Both will make a good job of the audio.

Hope this helps,

Cobra
