No go on audio

[Dunnyman]

Okay, this damn movie is driving me insane!!!! It plays perfectly fine in VLC, but not Quicktime, I finally got it to encode using the regular DVD settings, slower, but at least it worked, after a looooong encode, the video is gorgeous, very nice, and my audio is......electronic screeches and nothing more, it encoded as mpa, and I tried to change to mp2, but still garbage, how can I get the audio out of this??? I've tried every audio preset, and they all encode in less than a second with nothing to show, and every single process output is the same "unknown format", yet VLC tells me it's "vorb" and I've done good encodes from the same formats before!!!! HEEEELLLPPP!!!!!!!

I'm sure you're aware that vorb is ogg audio. You can convert this to mp3 with iTunes if you have the QT ogg codec installed.

[Dunnyman]

I HAVE the codec installed, but I can't get the damn audio out of the avi to convert!!! iTunes won't recognize the file, no matter WHAT I do!!!

[thoughton]

Oh, it's an avi? You might be SOL

DivX Tool is worth a try, I'm not sure if it can do ogg though. Last resort might be something like AudioHijack or WireTap - play it with VLC and record the audio.

Almost forgot, you could also try VLC's transcode feature. Choose 'Open File' (do not drop onto the VLC icon), advanced output, settings, output to file, select audio, mp3, bitrate etc, and see what happens. This didn't work very well in the last version of VLC so YMMV
