VirtualDub's improper VBR audio encoding problem

[JayN]

Hi Guys,

I have a Divx which I downloaded from the net. When I open the AVI on virtualDub (version 1.4.10 running on Windows 2000 professional), a message box pops up that says:

"VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source AVI file and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during processing for better compatibility. This may introduce up to 45622 ms of skew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable, decompress the *entire" audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 156.2 + 27.6kbps)"

I did try to decompress the audio (using VirtualDub) and wanted to save it as WAV file but I don't know if that was the correct/exact procedure I did. As the decompression progresses, a message box pops up that says:

"ACM reported error on audio decompress (200)".

...and it terminated the whole process.

Can anybody tell me what these 2 messages all about?
What do I need to correct this problem before I'll convert it to VCD format.

Any other tools I need besides VDub?

Thanks In Advance,
JayN

go to audio oinvdub, then check ful processing mode, then go to audio and open conversion then check 44100, 16 bit, high quality, stereo. then go to video and check direct stream, the go to file save as avi. the new avi will be corrected, asuuming you have all the codecs for vdub

I to have had this problem, when I used your input it came back with:

"Audio samples 1288-16383 could not be read in the source, the file may be corrupted"

Is there a way around this. 8)

I had this problem a while ago. All I did was open it in DivFix, and clicked on "Rebuild Index" and it fixed my problem. The audio samples error message went away after that.


Hope That Helps!!! :P
