output AVI with half audio ?

[indianhacker]

Hi,

I joined 2 XViD files (which is a single movie) into single Avi file using Virtualdub 1.3c and following the steps given at this link :-

http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/virtualdub_join_avi.cfm

The independent XViD files are of length 1:32:08 and 1:35:21 respectively. Output AVI is 3:07:30

The problem is, in this output avi, till 1:02:40, the audio is proper & with sync with the video.. perfect. But then there is no audio till the end of the file.

Can some one please help me knowing why the audio is not there after a certain length ?


TIA..

A) You'd be better served using a more recent version of VirtualDub when dealing with XviD files (V.1.3c pre-dates the creation of the XviD compression format).

B) Do each of the original files play properly, with audio all the way from beginning to end?

C) 1) Load the first original video file into VirtualDub (or one of its many variants) or NanDub

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

Hi Setarip,

Thanks for the response. I downloaded VirtualDub 1.5.10 Build 18160.

Let me answer your question. Yes, Both the file have proper audio & in sync till end throughout..

Now, when I tried to load the 1st file, it gave me the error in the attached error.jpg. When I tried to load the 2nd file first, it gave me same error.. Only the ms value in the error this time was different.

I have attached a zip which contains error.jpg & fileinfo.jpg


Thanks for the help & waiting for your reply..

Your files contain "VBR" (Variable Bitrate) .MP3 audiostreams, which are problematic when joining files.

Using VirtualDubMOD to Convert "VBR" .MP3 to Uncompressed .WAV

1) Load the .AVI file into VirtualDubMOD (a different program than the standard VirtualDub)

2) From the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Direct Stream Copy"

3) From the "Streams" dropdown menu, select "Stream List" - and rightclick on the audio stream, then select "Full Processing Mode" - then click on "OK". Rightclick on the audiostream again, then select "Compression" and make certain it is set to "No compression (PCM)"

4) From the "File" dropdown menu, save .AVI with a new filename

After you've successfully converted each of the two files, joining two .AVIs can be accomplished in VirtualDub (or any of its variants) by simply:

1) Loading the first file and then, from the "File" dropdown menu selecting "Append .AVI segment" and loading the second file.

2) Setting "Video" to "Direct Stream Copy"

3) Setting "Audio" to "Full Processing Mode" - and from the "Audio" dropdown menu selecting "Compression" and choosing the .MP3 ("MPEG1-Layer3") setting you desire

3) Saving with a new filename

Hi Setarip,

Now, what I did is, I saved both the files with PCM audio, joined them & got the WAV file saved differently.

After this, I did a lot of effrots through Nandub & VirtualDubMod by giving this WAV file as audio source & giving the proper miliseconds value in the interleaving option to bring the audio & video in sync. But, no luck !!

Now, I have the complete movie in a single file with audio till end but it is about 5 secs ahead of the video during the entire movie..


Please help !!

A) If the difference between audio and video is constant throughout the video:

Load the file into VirtualDub, VirtualDubMod, or NanDub.
Set BOTH "Video"(VirtualDub, VirtualDubMod and NanDub) and "Audio" (VirtualDub and NanDub - VirtualDubMOD>"Streams>"Stream list") to "Direct Stream Copy".
From the "Audio" dropdown menu, select "Interleaving" (For VirtualDubMOD, rightclick on the listed audiostream and then select "Interleaving")
Under "Audio skew correction", set an appropriate number of milleseconds (positive or negative) in the box labelled "Delay audio track by"
Save with a new filename

Let us know of your success ;>}

Hi Setarip,

I did exactly as you have mentioned with Nandub & now I have movie1.avi & movie2.avi with audio & Video in proper sync

But now, when I try to join them with VIrtualDubMod, I 1st get error as attached in file error1.jpg when I select movie1.avi. After that I say append segment & select the movie2.avi & get error as attached in error2.jpg

Please check the zip file for the screen shots.


How do I proceed now ?

Your screendump of the first segment shows that you HAVEN'T yet converted the audio to .WAV...
