Extracting audio from an AVI

[M.AD]

I want to extract audio from an avi (eg as a wav) and then reinsert it (use TMPG - vid source / audio source). However, when I do this with the programs I have tried so far, the sound on the product is out of sync.

Please Help.

PS Whenever I use NanDub (VirtualDub opens file with "improper audio stream" anyway) it crases when I try and convert.

what type of audio compression is in the original avi file?
mp3 or ac3?

[M.AD]

AC3, I believe. All the checkers crash when I open the files

Is the error about a missing .dll ? cause I had that, you will need to download this - http://mitglied.lycos.de/darkav/download/azid_dll-1.8.rar
, extract the files to the same folder as headach3.

I am having similar problems to you, im still not getting audio in synch , even after following the guides on here. its a pain in the neck. Let me know if you come up with an alternative solution to the ones on here.
