How do u convert pcm to mp3 format using virtualdub?
Is this possible while you are encoding the the video?

Audio -> Full Processing Mode
Audio -> Compression
Select MP3, bitrate etc.

Choose streams/stream list and right click on the audio and choose full processing mode,then right click again and choose compression.

I'm pretty sure the Windows/Microsoft MP3 encoder is the one highlighted in auto7890's screenshot.
I assume it's not configurable in later versions of Windows (I'm guessing and I have no idea what the output will be), but even though the XP version
is configurable, I'm pretty sure it's limited to very low bitrates.
If you manage to get the LAME ACM MP3 encoder installed (not the standard version), VirtualDub(Mod) will list it too.

If you've only got an AVI or two to worry about then it might be less hassle in the long run to extract the PCM audio from the original AVI
and convert it with something which isn't VirtualDub(Mod). Add the newly encoded MP3 as an audio stream while disabling the existing PCM,
then edit and encode the video as you normally would.
