Video and Audio dont match up

[jasoff]

Whenever I use VirtualDub to clip a Divx avi, I get the video clipped properly but the audio seems to cram all of itself into about half of the video. Can anybody explain to me what am I missing?

I was using a direct stream copy method for both video and audio.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like your video and audio files are not multiplexed. Before splitting the file, try resaving it with a new name under VDub with some small modification to the sound settings (such as to MP3 at 96Kbps from MP3 at 128Kbps).

Close VDub and then restart it. Change both Video and Audio to "Direct Stream Copying". Load your newly created file. Make certain that you do your splitting on a keyframe. Save each of your two resultant files with new names.

Let us know of your success ;>}

I kinda gave up on it

There were only 2 movies that had this problem. when I tryed to recompress them using interlacing, the file just got bigger and the program crashed in the middle anyways. I tried it twice.
Im running Windows 2000 with a Pent. III 1.0 Gigahertz and 512 Megs o RAM.

Is there a program that can acurately detect the video and audio information on all movie files? VDub does not do a very good job. If I had something like that, I could get a better picture of why it is doing that.

In the meantime, I was able to burn my "backup" of Escape from LA. (Why, you ask?? I dunno) and just gave up on :The Emporer's New Groove". No big loss.


But thanks for your help.

Agian. when I tryed it.

If, in fact, you are certain that the file includes the ENTIRE audio track, load the file into VDub and save out the audio file only as a .WAV file. Exit VDub, reload the original video with "No Audio" selected under "Audio" and then add the .WAV file by changing to ".WAV Audio" under "Audio". Make certain that both "Video" and "Audio" are set to "Direct Stream Copying" and save with a new filename.

If the resultant file still exhibits the same problem, this would indicate that your original file has some type of fatal flaw.

By the way, I presume that when you referred to trying to "interlace", you meant "multiplex.
