You need to re-encode the VBR audio to CBR Mp3 and re-mux with the video part of the avi. You will need to do this before cutting in order to ensure you maintain Audio/Video sync.

Please tell me how to do this in an step-by-step way!!!

You will need and mp3 encoder such as Lame installed to do this
Open the avifile in virtualdub.
Select:
video->direct stream copy
audio-> full processing mode
audio->compression (select Mp3 and whatever bitrate you want, perhaps 256kbps)
File->save as avi, save to a new file.
Do this for each of your avi's and you should then be able to cut and join them with no problems. -
Tryed that, but it seems that this method destroys the sound. When I watch the movie after I have saved it there is some noise in the beginning of the movie and then there is no sound
-
Hmmm, sounds possible that the audio in your avi's may be corrupted in some way.
Try opening the avi in goldwave, then do file->save as and save the audio stream as a wav file. Configure goldwave to save it as Stereo PCM, 48khz. Then see if the wav file plays ok in Media Player. -
What? The avi is not a sound-file right? Its the movie?! Did u mean that I was suposed to save the sound-file separatly from the avi-file (comfused).
-
Goldwave is an audio editor but it will quite happily open avi files to allow you to process and extract the audio. So open the avi file in goldwave.
-
It seems that Goldwave can only play the first 1.9 seconds of the AVI file... Maybe this has something to do with the prompt I got when I opened the original avi-movie in VirtualDub. It said "VBR audio stream detected"... Maybe something weird is going on with the sound?
-
As I suspected, the audio in the avi file is faulty/corrupt. This probably also explains why you get bad audio when you extract it with virtualdub.Originally Posted by Salamence
Not sure what to suggest next..... -
damn... is there nothing to do then... Ò_o

Heres a thought, not sure if this will work.
You want to cut the start and end of these avi's right?
Open the avifile in virtualdub. Select you start and end points for the cut. Save the video out using direct stream copy, with audio set to No Audio.
Then save the audio out using full processing mode , compression = NON (PCM). See if the resulting audio (wav) file will play OK. If it does, we have skipped the bad part and can proceed. In that case, open the previously cut, silent avi file in virtualdub, then select audio->wav audio and slect the saved wav file. Play it to make sure it sync's (it should).
If everything is good so far, the selct audio->full processing mode, audio->compression = mp3 (if thats what you want) and set the bitrate, the file->save avi.
Good luck! -
I plan to convert these avi-movies into DVD-format after I have joined them, so witch bitrate would you suggest here? I want the best quality!
-
Well, there not much point going any higher than what they currently are, but 256kbps should be fine.
-
Hm... seems to work when I did this... But the subtitle is nowhere to be seen! Gah! Where did it go!?
-
Hm... Maybe I should make the subtitle on my own, does that take much time? Is it possible to create subtitle in VirtualDub?
-
sub is back, no probs >_<
-
YEAH!!! It works!!! Finally!!! Thanks to you bugster, your the man!

Gald to be of assistance
