VBR help

[Afterlife]

Ive searched, and searched, and read the guides. Everyone mentions this issue, but then disregard it...

I have an avi with a VBR mp3 audio layer, i can extract it in VDM, but it comes too small with silence at the end.

So i decompessed the wav and extracted it, but it sounds a lil funny.

Is there a correct procedure somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Open the avi in VDM. When the error message pops up warning you about an incorrect header, click on Yes to re-write the header.

Click on Streams->Stream List. Right-click on the stream and select Full processing Mode. Right-click again, and select Compression. Make sure you click on Uncompressed PCM. Click OK, then click on Save Wav. Space required is around 10 MB / minute of footage, so a 90 minute movie requires around 900MB for the uncompressed audio. (give or take)

It's fairly simple, just save it out as a WAV, using full audio processing.

From there, it depends on what you want to do with it. You can use the WAV and the original video in MPEG encoders that can accept elemental streams like TMPGEnc encoder. Or you can re-encode it to MP3 CBR and mux it back in.
