Audio Compression Problem(?)

[firefly1201]

Hi, When I follow the guide here, and then try to save the file as an AVI file in Virualdub(any version - I've tried most of them) it simply says "No audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format". What does this mean and How can I fix it? I am trying to encode a 22 min South Park avi episode.

the audio format must not be supported by Vdub
you should use a software named : avi2wav to extract the sound part of the file to a .wav file then you will be able to reconvert it to a normal PCM wav file usable with Vdub (you will have to set Vdub to re-encode the file to MP3)

to convert audio files you should use : dbPowerAmp (freeware)

see you :lol:

yea, its a really nice program, but now suddenly you have to pay for the mp3 codec :angry:

This might take a while

Get back to you as soon as possible

EDIT: Bummer, that message in DBPowerAmp has come up about the MP3 stuff. That's a real shame that it's not free anymore

Wow, thank you! It works! Whoop-de-do basil!

Don't listen to them. It means you don't have the audio codec that the movie uses. Just find out which one it uses and download it.

edit: Yeah, you worked it out. But this is the way you're supposed to do it
