Are you able to PLAY the file that you've created (in Windows Media Player)?

no it will not play in windows media player, it says its looking for a codec , and then it gives an error.

its just a wav file, why does it need a codec ? is it that ac3 audio ?

attached is the screen shot of the error

It would appear that, contrary to what you believe, you haven't created a .WAV audiostream.

What procedures did you use in VirtualDub?

Does the ORIGINAL .AVI play properly, including audio?

If it does:

1) Load the file into VirtualDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (both video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

Download, install and register with Windows the IVIAUDIO.AX filter/codec, available separately or as part of the many codec "packs" available.


**IMPORTANT - VirtualDub v.1.4AC3 is a specific MODIFIED version of VirtualDub!

Load the .AVI file into VirtualDub v1.4C-AC3, set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copying" and select (under "File") "Save .WAV/.AC3" - and save as .AC3 (IMPERATIVE to save as .AC3!).

Despite the fact that .AC3 file extracted using VDub-AC3 doesn't play properly, PX3AC3Converter (or BeSweet) will do a perfect job of converting it to .WAV format.

When I went to file, just Save WAV was there...... , not Save WAV/AC3

Click on "Save WAV" and give the file an extender of ".AC3"...
