AC3 Audio codec decompressor

[frolik]

I'm trying to re-encode avis that use the AC3 audio codec, I have a codec installed for it and they play fine but when I try to encode in virtualdub it says "no audio decompressor could be fount to decompress the cource audio format"

any ideas

cheers!

you should first extract the audio part from the AVI file then use ac3dec ou azid (2 MSDOS executable files available on Rippack)
The you will have a WAV audio NO compressed....This might be a very big file.
Then with Virtual Dub you will have to set "wav file" in audio submenu
see you

link : just have a look using google...
