Noob audio settings

d) Next make sure audio is set for avi and full processing mode. Do this by clicking "Audio -> AVI audio", then "Audio -> Full processing mode". Next click on "Audio -> Conversion" a window that looks like this should appear:

This is what my guide says..now in the menu audio i don't have the option Avi audio, hence i use a newer version of virtualdub i think...the options i have is either no audio, source audio or WAV audio - which is the right one?

[teegee420]

Which version of Virtualdub are you using? Are you sure it's not Virtualdubmod?

[ottosen]

1.5.10 is the version

It would be source audio because the AVI is your source.

[teegee420]

Your "Audio" menu doesn't look like this?

[teegee420]

It would be source audio because the AVI is your source.

Ah, I misunderstood the question. andyp1 is correct.

[ottosen]

thanks a lot...that is what i tried to use, and the outcome of the .avi file became bigger than the a.vi file that i actually started with...is this normal?
and will it be smaller after i used dvd2svcd?

spanks!

The reason why your avi came out so large is because you selected "Full Processing Mode" without specifying mp3 compression. Instead the source audio was decompressed to PCM wav. Without knowing the length and bitrate of your source avi, my guess is that when you convert to SVCD with dvd2svcd the size will be around the same size as your avi with the deompressed wav audio, possibly larger.

What is it you are doing ottosen?
Ifyou have an AVI that has say mp3 audio and you convert the audio to wav . The wav itself could be 1.3or 1.4GB

You're doing just fine. I'm no thread hog. Besides, you helped me understand what this poster was asking in the first place.
