extracting audio using virtualdub problem

[casba]

I have done this many times....can't figure this one. The error message i get is this

" 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'm trying to make a vcd from xvid/divx by first extracting the audio choosing full processing mode and then conversion 44100hz and then trying to save as wav in virtualdub and then i would take the new wav and the original avi and run in TMPGEnc and then burn as vcd with nero. Is it a codec I could be missing?

what is the audio codec? use gspot to identify.

or just use something else like avi2wav, goldwave. www.videohelp.com/virtualdubaudio#problems

and use the SEARCH

using gspot

audio
codec
name
0x0050(MPEG) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 2

I also tried avi2wav .... I didn't get the huge wav file like i normally would using virtualdub it was much smaller.

I just tried using a newer virtualdub 1.6.8 and as soon as i opened the avi file I got this black screen with this message in the viewer "Warning: nothing to output beframe decoder lag."

when i tried to continue extracting by choosing audio - full processing mode and then conversion 44100hz and then save to wav I get this error message " No audio decompressor could be found to decompress the sourece audio format. (source format tag: 0050)

I have converted from WMV to AVI using WINAVI and DivX setting. I get the same audio codec (0x0050(MPEG) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 2).

The downside to extracting the WAV first is this. I am taking the AVI, running some AVISynth filters on it (including some Trims) and creating a new tweaked AVI. If I have to extract the WAV first, then I'd have to create an intermediate AVI first. I.E.



If I try to use the extracted WAV and AVISynth at the same time in Virtualdub, the AVISynth filters won't be applied to the WAV.

I used to use a different tool to convert from WMV to AVI and it would let me convert the video in DivX, but leave the audio uncompressed. But that tool suddenly quit working and I've been waiting for an excuse to get WinAVI anyway.

So how screwed am I?
