Converting divx with AC3 audio

[thejones]

I have a movie with divx video and ac3 audio. I want to convert the audiostream it has to mp3 or something that takes up less space. How do I do it? I've got the audio working with a plug in, in windows media player. But when I open video up in VirtualDub, even VirtualDub AC3, it refuses to play the audio. Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

So your asking how to convert the sound from an avi with ac3. The are number of ways, but the method that i find easyest is:

The new Tmpgenc ver 2.52 and up has improved Direct Show reader, so if you give this highest priority, at 2 or so. You need to have Direct Show ac3 filter installed. If you install Nimo codex pack and under Direct Show filters mark of the ac3 filter and intervideo audio fllter. Know you just have to load the avi source in Tmpgenc, but do not try any external audio decoders.


Hope it helps
