No audio except w/ DivX 6 Player ???

[Spaceduck]

Hi gang...
I have a divx .avi that plays fine in DivX 6 Player, but BS Player has no audio.

Does anyone know how I can get it to work in BS Player? DivX 6 doesn't support .srt subtitles. Helllp.

Here's a screen capture from GSpot, if that will clarify anything:


Thanks!!

Hmm... well I came up with a temporary [ridiculous] fix...
I can play the file simultaneously in BS Player & DivX6... minimize the DivX6 while listening to it... and watching BS. They have a tendency to get out-of-synch after a while, tho.

obviously you have the codecs because divx will play it. why not convert the audio to an audio format that bs likes using something like virtualdub?

in any case this is the codec you should have

Thanks for the tip LTC... I installed VirtualDub and loaded up the file... Here's the message I got:

"VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source AVI and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during processing for better compatibility. This may introduce up to 5595016 ms skew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable decompress the *entire* audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 3070.6 +/- 65288.8 kbps)"

Well, I'm sortofa idiot, and that sounds like a lot of work, so I decided to live with what I've got. One thing seems clear, tho, like you said I've got all the right codecs... the problem seems to be a glitch in the AVI file. For some reason Divx6 can read it, but others can't. Interesting.

yeah that's ok, just click the ok button. what i do is save the audio as uncompressed wav, then load that with the file and recompress to something else....

seems its mp3 audio, maybe something's wrong with the codecs on your system. download & install the latest (alpha) version of "ffdshow", then play
