Can't Join AVI: Different Audio Sampling Rates

[Questi4110]

I want to join two AVI (DivX) files together and i am using virtualdub. I open up the first one and then select file-append video segment and choose the second one. It gives me an error:

Cannot Append Segment: The audio streams have different sampling rates (20000.00000 vs. 24000.00000)

Is there anyway i can conver the first one to join with the second or vice versa. Or is this procedure impossible?


THANKS

i did solve the problem partially
i found out what to do...the problem is that now i need to know how to do it

i think this is right: i extracted the WAV in 44100hz of the first file. Now this is where i get stuck. Do i have to extract the wav of the second file the same way and then join them? And if so that is my biggest problem...how do you join the WAVs with the video...do i join each singular one to it's match before joining the 2 original video (and audio) files or do i join the 2 audio files and then somehow join the 2 video files?

And whatever the answer is...please tell me how to actually join the audio files with the video files in great detail because i dont know how to do that.

Also when i tried using the divx to vcd instructions i used the wav files with the video file and what came out was a file (it was still an avi...when i tried to make it an mpeg it gave me and error...and i want to make a vcd...but that will be later) that had correct audio and video sync but the quality was considerably depreciated. Is there anyway to match the quality(video wise) with the original divx file?
BTW i used these instructions:

What you could do is frameserve both .avi files in to TMPGEnc using the "VCD" template. The use the merge and cut function in the MPEG Toools... section in the "Files" menu.

Can't you open one of the AVIs in VirtualDub and "Save As" changing the audio settings to be the same as the second? I did that once changing 44.1k PCM to 48k.

Good luck

there is no such thing as just "Save As"...can you be more specific

thanks

Open the AVI file in Vdub. Under the Audio menu, change the settings to match what you want (you'll have to select one kind of transfer option or something to ungrey that submenu item - don't remember exactly and don't have the progg in front of me). Then under the File menu, choose "save as" or "save new" (just like in every windows program) a dialog box will pop up for you to enter a new file name. Save. Voila.

If you want to join the two AVis you need to have both Sampling rate at the same rate.

In virtual dub open the avi and look in the file menu, there is an option for File info. Write down the information on both avi and you only have to change the the setting on one.

To do this in the video menu select Direct Streem and in the Audio menu select Full prossesing. Go the the Audio menu and select convertion and there you can change the sampling rate to be equal to the second one.

After this go to File menu and select Save as, name a new avi and enter.

Open this new avi and go to the File menu and select append the second avi. Go to Video and Audio menu and select on both Direct Streem. Go to File Menu and select Save As and you will save a new avi with both avis joined.

Here is an entry in the VDub FAQ, maybe it will answer some remaining questions:
