"Cannot load Sylia scripting language" VirtualDub

[Dougmeister]

Using VirtualDub v1.4c, the one that supposedly does ASF files, and when I go to reduce the file (for viewing on a Pocket PC) I get the error:

"Cannot load Sylia scripting language (SYLIA.DLL):

The specified module could not be found."

I'm choosing DivX 5.0.2 2-pass for video and 32 kBit/s, 22,050 Hz, Mono (4 Kb/s) for audio, although I have to check "Show all formats" to get *anything* to show up in the "formats" box.

I can get by this error by throwing in the sylia.dll from v1.4.13, but then the old "Error initializing audio stream compression; the requested conversion is not possible".

Please advise. Thank you.

Try downloading the dll package.....

Thanks. That fixed that problem.

But it still doesn't work. Now I keep getting:

"Error initializing audio stream compression:
The requested conversion is not possible."

Now, when I go to pick my old stand-by, "MPEG Layer-3, 32kBit/s, 12,000 Hz, Stereo", it doesn't show up in the list unless I check "Show all formats". Is that bad? (Actually, *nothing* shows up in that box unless I check that option).

Also, when I open the ASF file, I get an "ASF validity check warning":

"The ASF file is 127263743 bytes long, but was originally 127263533 bytes when encoded. It may have been truncated or corrupted. Open file anyway?"

Then it says "ASF Import Filter" and "Reconstructing ASF index block" as it progresses through loading the file.

Any ideas?

The files play fine on my computer, by the way.

Thanks for your time and any more help you can provide.

hmmm......just out of curiousity, try importing an an avi with 44.1khz or 48khz audio into vdub...then try and select the mp3 compressions again...does it then give you more options ?

I am guessing that it may have issues with the 22khz audio...but that is just a guess.

You could also demultiplex the audio in vdub and convert with a seperate audio encoder ie...lame, etc... Then convert just the video in vdub and then multiplex them back together....if all else fails.


PS: Just had another thought......try resampling the audio from 22khz to 44.1khz.....see if that has any affect on the mp3 conversion....this goes along the line of the first experiment I was getting at.
