AC3/Ogg Vorbis vs. Virtual Dub

[6Ur4Z]

Is there any chance i could make Virtual dub read ac3 and/or Ogg vorbis DivX files???

Mail Plz!!!!
thx

[UncasMS]

use nandub instead of VD

[6Ur4Z]

well, it seems that neither NanDub can open correctly DivX with AC3 audio, and can't open at all Ogg Vorbis video... ND can only save streams at this format, but can't open them.

Is there any chance that there is a program which supports ac3 / Ogg Vorbis so i could transform this kind of video (ac3/ogg) into full divx with mp3 audio, or similar????

If there is no support for this kind of layers, please tell me so i can stop searching the web...

thx.

1 nandub DOES support ac3

2 for ogg try ogg-machine/oggmux

Converting ogm files, to avi files you will need something like the following filter graph (see attachment) in GraphEdit.

From left to right the filters are:
DirectShow.FileReader(ASync)
DirectShow.OggSplitter
DirectShow.OggVorbisDecoder
AudioEncoders.MpegLayer3
DirectShow.AviMux
DirectShow.FileWriter

yes, it supports ac3, but only as output stream. When i try to open divx with ac3 audio, nandub automatticly sets the audio stream to no audio, and then i set it to avi audio and try to convert it to mp3, i get the message that ACM failed to suggest audio decompression format .

So i ask again: how do i convert ac3 audio to mp3?

thx

hay all
you can open the divx file with nandub, change the audio to avi audio and save only the sound "save wav".
it will put a wav file on your HD. change the file extention to ac3.
now you can use azid & lame
have fun

Im trying to convert .ogm to .avi with Graphedit, and im doing as you suggest, but i can't find some of the filters that you suggested to use.

Theres no filereader (ASynch), and no oggvorbisdecoder, the rest i all see. Im trying to convert to avi so i can easily convert to vcd format.

That is a little odd. Are you able to play the files in wmp6.4 ?.

If so you should be able to, construct a playback graph, by draging the .ogm file onto the Graphedit window. You should then be able to change this graph, into a graph that creates an avi instead.

Graphedit can be tricky to configure at times and may not be easy for most people.
I suggest VirtualDubMod for this.
It has everything regular VirtualDub has but also Ogg, AC3, VBR-MP3, Mpeg-2, among other things. Can handle AVI and OGM containers too.

Download:
VirtualDubMod
Needed DLLs
VirtualDubMod bugfix/cvs (exe only!)

Homepage:virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/

Hope this helps

PS for those of you that use Graphedit, there is a DirectX9 version.
I'll post the link when I dig it up.

Well, i use WMP9, and it doesnt open in there, just crashed the application.

Heres what i get in graphedit when i drag the file in there. By the way, im new to graphedit, first time dealing with .ogm files.

Edit: ok i got the VDub mod (thanks) and i opened the ogm file in it succesfully. Now all i need to do is save it as an avi in the same procedure as i would for an mpeg-1?

That looks perfectly OK.

Now you just need to remove ffdshow, the video renderer, the morgan stream switcher and the audio renderer from the graph, to remove a filter from the graph, simply select the filter and select edit->delete.

Then you add the filters, AudioEncoders.MpegLayer3, DirectShow.AviMux and DirectShow.FileWriter, using the Graph->'insert filters' menu, and connect the pins as shown in my example above, to connect an output pin to an input pin, you simply leftclickandhold on the output pin and drag the mouse to the input pin.

Yes I know VdubMod might be easier to use, but doing things the original way does have a cirtain charm . And learning to use GraphEdit is always usefull.

Aggreed. GraphEdit can be VERY useful.
I've used it many times to get out of tricky situations.

"doing things the original way does have a cirtain charm . And learning to use GraphEdit is always usefull."

Exactly why i want to use it But there's a problem... I can start Graphedit fine and the ogm file appears like i showed in the attachment, but after i delete the specifics you told me to, and i go to insert graphs...nothing happens. So i click once more on insert graphs and this time it crashed. Every time it happens like that. I also tried another ogm file, same thing. I have version 8.1 AND also the one The Edge reccommended. In both, it does the same thing. And i did click on the .bat files to register everything.
