strange text on top left of avi

[bigwheels103]

I am a newbie and I tried using virutal dub and I was just fiddling with a video file. I must have done something because now whenever I play it out of virtual dub even after deleting and redownloading it in the top-left corner there is text like

Audio track:

Input description 48000 Hz, stereo 128kbps mp3 (libmad)

current input rate: 128 kbps

Please tell me how to get rid of it!

Could you post a screen shot?

So, it happens no matter which player you use to play that AVI? It could be something that you enabled in a codec. Does it happen if you play the AVI using a player that uses its own codecs, like VLC or mplayer?

(TJohns: I was suspecting it might be ffdshow, too, but I'd never seen its OSD in action... and figured I should be sure of everything else, as well. )

That sounds like ffDShow On-Screen-Display (OSD) is enabled. If you right click on the tray icon (red for video, blue for audio I think) you should have an OSD option on the menu ... turn OFF the one that's ticked!

It sounds like ffdshow OSD, Start -> Programs -> ffdshow -> Audio decoder configuration and uncheck OSD. If you have don't have the ffdhow in the Programs menu you should see a ffa icon in the tray/notification area when you play the video, just click on it to to bring up the configuration.

edit:I'm too slow.
