VirtualDub -requested audio compression is not compatible...

[diabeticus]

Getting that error when I do the following

I have this problem with an AVI (DIVX) I am trying to convert to VCD. Shallow Hal.

1) Open AVI (DIVX) in Virtual Dub 1.4.10
2) Turn on Full Porocessing mode, choose NO COMPRESSION (PCM) and the convert it to 44100 Hz
3) Save WAV

Ge the following error when I go to save the wav (which it doesn't let me do):
The requested audio compression is not compatible with the input format. Check that the sampling rate and channel count of the input match those of the requested format.

Then hit OK.

Since I don't think I can upload the picture of the FILE INFORMATION here it is:

Audio Stream
Sampling Rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: 5 (Stereo)
Sample Precision: 0-bit
Compression: Unknown (tag 2000)
Preload skew: 24000 samples (0.50s)
# of frames: 798222
Min/avg/max/total frame size: 960/1920/24000 (149687K)


I can play it in Windows Media Player and the audio compression is listed as something I cannot recall. 3 words ... 2 of the words began with M and one was an Irsih sounding name I think. I did a search on the web for this format and it said something about multi lingual audio support or something.

I can find that info out later if needed.

Is there a way to have Virtual Dub look at the same decompressors as Media Player? Does that even make sense? Any help would be appreciated. I find it strange that I can hear and see it no problem in Media Player but Virtual Dub does not recognize the Audio component.

Thanks.

PS I posted this as an addon to another post. I hope it doesn't bother anyone that I reposted it here as a unique problem as his problem was already resolved.

Is it an ac3 audio stream ???? If so look at the guides to convert ac3 to a wav

If not, I believe under AUDIO in Vdub, you also would want to set the CONVERSION tab to 44100 x 16 x stereo Then do all as you had done before. You should be all set then.
