Audio Codec problem with Virtualdub

[asprinwizard]

Hi there,

I have a problem with an XviD file I am trying to convert to DVD. I am trying to load it in Virtualdub to export the audio as a WAV. However it is not recognising the codec for the audio. In file information it says:

Unknown (tag 0055)

So I loaded it in GSpot and it said the codec was:
0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3

It also said that 4 compatible codecs were installed. But they just seem to be for decoding and not for encoding. I have no problem encoding MP3 sound usually.

I have tried using another program to extract the sound but it exported at 44Khz and so was out of sync when I encoded the two streams together.

Can anyone suggest another tool for extracting the audio, or where I can get a suitable codec for this file.

Cheers.

seems to be a common problem, I haven't seen any solution. see https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=291247&highlight=0055

Many thanks.

am trying the Goldwave idea as I write. Hopefully it will work fine.
