virtual dub multiplex prob :(

[skynetwork]

hi guys,

i just wanted to multiplex an .avi file with a new mp3 soundstream but virtual dub won't let me do it

in the description on this side it says:


For AVI, DivX,ASF use Virtualdub, first select File->Open Video File to open the video, then select Audio->WAV Audio to open the audio (YOU CAN OPEN MP3 FILES ALSO). Select Video->Direct Stream Copy and Audio->Direct Stream Copy and last File->Save AVI to save the new video.

so far so good but i CANNOT open mp3 filez with virtual dub......

can somebody help me or tell me what i did wrong or perhaps a description of how to use another programm for multiplexin' an .avi???

thanx a lot......... :P

That's right, it is not possible so far as I know, despite what you have read. What you can do is use a wav file and recompress that to mp3 for the audio.

hmmm, the problem with it is that i only have the mp3 and when i start using soundforge to convert the mp3 to a wav it's about 530mb big

what kind of .wav format shall i convert the mp3 into??? normal pcm or what kind of format?

[banjazzer]

It will be big. Just save to a standard 44100 PCM wav. Soundforge is probably overkill, though. Winamp or MMJukebox will serve just as well.

but isn't there any programm that can handle a prob like this??? because burning these 1gig+ filez to a cd-r would be the next prob....

or maybe a prog that converts the mp3-stream to a wav-stream in an acceptable format?

bye the way thanx 4 the fast reply 8)

[banjazzer]

It's only going to be that big until you recombine it with your DivX as mp3! Then you can delete it.

you mean when using virtual dub it will re-convert the wav to an mp3 stream?

it tried it 4 some moments but the additional size of the avi unfortunately grew and grew and grew... or is the real size not like shown in VD?

[banjazzer]

You start with avi and uncompressed wav. Load avi. Select Video>direct stream copy. Select Audio>full processing mode. Select Wav audio and browse to wav. Select Audio>compression and choose your mp3 compression. Then File>save avi.

ha, cool,

i did not work out how i had to use the audiocompression modes

yippieh......

thanx a lot 4 it, will try it out right now.........
