Can only capture in PCM in VirtualDub

[sneglen]

I have a problem with VDub, I am only able to capture in PCM Wav when capturing, whenever I try and capture in MP3 or Ogg Vorbis, it always makes an error and close VDub down....

Does anyone know why this happends???


And another thing I never have been able to figure out about MP3, when I make the Bitrate... lets say 320, then some of the sound's like thunder sound great, but everything else sound metallic... why is that?



I have a Soundblaster Live! 5.1 soundcard
And a Pinnacle PCTV Rave Capture card

your os can cause this problem..You must use win 2000 or xp for divx audio or mp3 audio real time capture.

Thanks that explains it... I'm using WinME

The best way to go about encoding audio is to do it after you have encoded the video in real time. I am using win98 and i normally encode the video in realtime and then do the audio after.. only takes about 10 minutes for a 2 hour movie.

"encoding audio is to do it after you have encoded the video in real time. I am using win98 and i normally encode the video in realtime and then do the audio after"

The problem is not that it takes time afterwards the problem is that uncompressed Wav is about 1 gig for an 2 hour movie and I would like to capture in MP3 to lower the file size in the capture, I reencode the movie afterwards anyway
