I have a whole load of AVI files that I would like to convert to MPeg4 for watching on my Archos av400, but I think the audio codecs are a bit screwed up...
I have been following the Archos web site instructions for coverting:-
But when I try and start I get a Virtual Dub error...
cannot open file "job.avs":
The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Although I have set all the source / destination files correctly.
On a side note, when I check the file independentlywith Virtual dub I get another box (which I kind of suspected I would, as I had trouble with my codecs when I tried to run the files on my computer) saying:-
VBR audio Stream detected
Vitual Dub has dected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source avi file and will rewrite the audio header with CBR values during processing for better compatibility. This may introduce up to a 5709 ms of skew from teh video stream. If this unacceptable, decompress the 'entire' audio stream to an uncompressed wav file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder (bitrate 132.4+/-19.3kbs)
Does this mean I have to encode the file one way before encoding it to MPEG4 for the archos, or is there a way to get round this problem and go straight to archos format?
If I have to do an encode first, can you let me know how to do it (I have totally forgotten...as I do remember using VDUB for this purpose before)
Sorry for the long winded explanation.
