HELP ME PLEASE!!!!! NEW MEMBER NEEDING ASSISTANCE WIth sample conversion!

[alexewing10]

Hey Guys I am having problems combining two AVI files together. The first AVi file is 12 seconds long and the second is 6 minutes long! When I attempt to append the AVI segments to each other I am told that the Sample Conversion rates are different, and so I am unable to join the files together. I have looked everywhere for advice on how to change it. I was told I could find the Audio Conversion tool on AudioDubMod, which I downloaded accordingly. However, I can't find that function anywhere! The difference are as follows:

File 1: 29.97003 samples/sec
Files 2: 15.00015 samples/sec

So I'd need to 'simply' convert 'file 1' to meet the 'file 2' conversion rate, so that I can append the segments together and finish making my movie!!

Thanks so much guys!! Any help would be soooooo appreciated!!!!!!

Files 2: 15.00015 samples/sec

That looks more like frame rates than sample rates to me?

Yup, you're going to have to re-encode one of the files.

Download the free and excellent VirtualDub and open up your file1.avi (the one that's 29.97fps).

Then...





Then: Video -> Full Processing Mode and then File -> Save AVI as... and away you go. Then append them.

P.S. Welcome to the forums.

I use Virtual Dub Mod for that. BTW, your audio on the converted video may be a little longer than your video now. Watch out for sync problems if you are joining. Check the before and after audio and video lengths in VDM File>File information. You can fix it by saving out the audio as a WAV and using Audacity to adjust it, then add it back in and convert it to your desired format.
