Audio+MP3=BIG PROBLEMS!

[LongJohn210]

everytime i try to encode the audio in mp3 vdub freezes at frame 9995 or 9997 am i using the wrong sampling rate or something?

You've undoubtedly got the Creative .MP3 codec installed.

If not already done, download and install the Radium (Fraunhoefer hack) .MP3 codec.

Then

Open the Control Panel. Select "Multimedia" (or the XP equivalent, something like "Sound and Music"). Select "Audio Codecs". Turn off ALL .MP3 codecs, except the one that contains "Professional" in the name

Reboot


Let us know of your success ;>}

i did what u said but the radium codec was the only mp3 codec on the list. plus i'm having this problem with the radium codec to.


the only way i can get mp3 encoding is to extract as wav and convert it to mp3 seperately.

i got the mp3 codec installed but its not on any of the lists of audio compressers. except the creative mp3 codec.

This method should work well enough for you:
1. Rip audio to WAV using Graphedit/Vob2audio
2. If you wish, you can amplify the volume of the audio using an audio editor, such as Cooledit
3. Convert the WAV to MP3 using an mp3 encoder, such as LAME
4. Mux the MP3, with the video you have created, using nandub

To Create the required LST file, open a TXT file (renamed to LST) and input somethng like the following:
x:\Folder\VTS_01_1.VOB
x:\Folder\VTS_01_2.VOB
x:\Folder\VTS_01_3.VOB
x:\Folder\VTS_01_4.VOB
.
.
.
x:\Folder\VTS_01_x.VOB (The last VOB in the series)

For extracting audio from one VOB file only, you don't need to go though the creation of a LST file.

i do something like that now for everything. i think my mp3 codecs are corrupted or something. i hate extracting and encoding the audio seprately. so how do i uninstall all of my mp3 codecs. and where can i get the radium mp3 codec.

[Enchanter]

Download and install the Tsunami codec pack, which contains the MP3 codec from FhG (Radium) and LAME.

Which is it? - Do youhave the Creative codec, the Radium codec, or both installed?


(Turn off the Creative codec and reboot your system)

[LongJohn210]

i had both installed but the creative mp3 codec wasn't on the list of audio codecs. and i have the tsunami pack.

[LongJohn210]

k my mistake the creative mp3 codec was on the list it was ctmp3.acm which i didn't notice well, anyway everything works perfectly thanks setarip and enchanter!

[setarip]

"thanks setarip and enchanter!"

My (Our) pleasure ;>}
