what audio codec for this mkv movie

[marilor]

Hi, first of all thanx to everyone n specially baldrick for his guide on MKV to AVI. I've followed all the instructions but for some reason im having this prob with 1 of the 4 episode of my movie.

I'm going to try to give as much info as possible n explanation:

When I tried to save my mp3 (using lame3 or even MPEG-Layer 3), it wouldn't let me it would say: "Error initalizing audio stream decompression: the request conversation is not possible. check to make sure you have the required codec." So I didn't decompress it thinking that well it was already in a mp3 format, so I only demux the subtitle. so after the demux I saved it in avi and changed both (audio n video) four cc to DIV (since when I did put both avi n sub together it got n error message about the video decompression error message). Then I put both avi n sub together as specified by baldrick guide n everything went smoothly it decompress without the previous error message ( error decompressing video ..... error -100).

now my real problem is that this only one of the 4 avi movie not only is the sub not sync but the audio is not sync either to the video. problably by couple of secs or more. I saw that I have to sync the sub in Subtitle workshop (that was when i realised the audio was not sync too as the lips would move before the conversation). My guess is probably I have to decompress the audio but I cant since it gives me that error message.

below is the info about the audio n sub n video hopefully the picture will be print


Audio stream 1[0x0055,MPEG-1 layer3 (MP3)].ID [A-MPEG/L3].
Text stream 1.ID [S_TEXT/UTF8]

Have you tried virtualdub? Can virtualdub read mkv? If it can you can extract the audio to wav.

No virtualdub cannot open MKV format, Have to use virtualdubmod.

Wander if I put in the right forum thought. ???

VDubMod's mkv support is out of date. mkvextract would be better. Althought VDubMod should have no problems with a mkv using VfW video and mp3 audio like that. Should simply be able to remux to avi ,no need for decoding/demuxing.

hi celtic_druid, thanx for the ans. I didn't know that it was old. Althought I do like it, anyway what do you mean by remux in vdualmod. How do I do that.? As I want to be able to keep the subtitle as my movie is japanese n the sub is english.

[celtic_druid]

VDubMod can't mux subs to avi. What I mean is that if your mkv contains avi compatible streams, you can simply remux. Guess it could be VFR though?

you lost me there How can I do that?? with what program ?

my video is a MKV - four CC-XVID MPEG-4
