Audio Compression Manager (ACM) Failure on compress

[hueffmea]

I am using Vdub 1.5.3
I have an ATI All in wonder Radeon and MMC 8.1
I capture my video in 320 X 240 YUY2, with a 29.9706 frame rate using Huffyuv 2.1.1. I set my audio to capture at 44100 khz at 16 bit.
Once the file is captured I then set to redub using this script:
#ASYNTHER Default (AVISource)
AVISource("C:\capture.avi")
BicubicResize(640, 480)
levels(15, 1, 240, 0, 255)
ConvertToYUY2()
telecide()
ConvertToYUY2()
_2dcleanYUY2(0,10,2,3)
Convolution3D (0, 32, 128, 32, 128, 10, 0)

I set the video compression to Divx Pro 5.0.5, and audio to full processing mode and then use Lame to resize at 48000 hz 128kbps 16bit.

The problem is even though this has been working for me it just suddenly started giving me
"Audio Compression Manager (ACM) Failure on compress"
as an error message maybe 50 minutes into my dubs.
I uninstalled and reinstalled AC97 audio, I reinstalled my video card, drivers, vdub and all it's perifrieals. I'm stumped I can't figure out what is causing this error. Does anyone else know?

Try either capturing the audio at 48,000Hz or setting LAME to 44,100Hz - in other words, try capturing and compressing at the same frequency...

[hueffmea]

Okay I tried dubbing at 44,100Hz and it gave me the same error except right away. I didn't have to wait at all for it.

[hueffmea]

Well I set it on the worst possible dubbign. I don't remember what it was but I thought it would sound like a scratchy record. It made it all the way through. so why would I get the error message at different times depending on how high I set the quality of the audio? I have plenty of both Ram and Hard drive space.

[hueffmea]

Okay I tried again using 22050 Hz/ 32kbps ABR, Mono at 4kb and that is the highest I can dub at. Is this some kind of hardware problem? If so why would it just suddenly pop up?

[setarip]

Perhaps a silly question, but how much FREE space do you have on your hard drive?

[hueffmea]

52 gigabytes and I have defraged already to see if that was the problem.

Try reinstalling your MP3 codec ...

[shiny#3]

using virtualdub for recompression
is a good choice......

when this message appears it may be that your acm
handler got disrupted.

download from here again:

http://download.softpedia.com:8080/MULTIMEDIA/AUDIO/lame_acm_09.zip

this handler enables you to engage an mp3 codec
of your choice.....

capture at same frequency as you desire the final
audio format to be...

by the way.....
1.
why do you use an avisynth script and
don´t load your capture directly by using virtual dub mod
and the option open via avisynth??? all filters that you desire to use can be accesed directly in Vidub mod

2.if you have to use an avisynth script and encountering
audio conversion problems add the line:

resample audio(44100);

to your script......

tip : go and try the lanczos filter for resizing instead of
bicubic.....(filter must be isntalled to call)

anyway follow setarips advice also with this method

good luck!!

The short answer to this is simple. I have little to no idea what I'm doing. I've been reading forums and beginners guides for weeks and I got a walk through of how to encode by someone via IRC. I use the script because that's what he told me to do. Same with everything else. I will try your suggestion this weekend and let you know how it goes.
