After I turn the file into an AVI file on VIrtualDub then try to open the file in the splitter program I still get that VBR audio error message popping up
I tried converting the file on wondershare, although usually that's my second resort because I think virtual dub does best converting to avi without reducing the quality of the original clip. I was able to open the file in the splitter program.
So I went into the aacacm v.1.9 folder and found this file and clicked install, after that the wondershare files wouldnt open on the splitter program either, is there a way to remove it after install? I think this was the only thing I installed after that caused wondershare not to work no more. It's the same thing as the setup version setupAACacm right? Did it over-write over the set up version? If so do I just uninstall and reinstall the setup version?
The good news though is I"m able to split the files on virtual dub as advised earlier. Not sure if these clips will work once put on disc or a usb
Thank you! |

1) Whether you did install the AAC ACM codec via the SetupAACacm_X86_X64 or via the AACACM.inf, this makes no difference.
If you like to UN-INSTALL it, then use the Windows Vista "Control Panel", look for "Programs and Features" and open this item.
In this list with all the installed programs on your computer, you will certainly find the "AAC ACM Codec 1.9".
Click onto its name and you will see that the "Uninstall" button will become available (in the bar above the list of installed programs).
BUT, if I were you, I would NOT uninstall it, and try to do everything (split / convert / re-encode / save) with VirtualDub.
2) The reason why you still get the message about the VBR audio, is because you probably did not re-encode the audio (via VirtualDub).
Via a "Direct Stream Copy" it is just copied into an other type of containerformat (MP4 to AVI), but the Variable Bit Rate encoding does not change by that !!
If you like to get rid of that message, you will need to re-encode the audio, by setting VirtualDub's Audio-menu to Full Processing and also via the Audio-menu > Compression, select a codec with CBR (Constant Bit Rate).
You can leave VirtualDub's Video-menu to "Direct Stream Copy" because the video does not need to be re-encoded.
3) The new videos that you have split and created via VirtualDub will certainly play (on DVD or USB-memorystick) via the computer were you made them. All depends of the "other device" were you will play it. This last one must be able to read AVI (for which the chances are probably good), but it must also be able to "decode" the video and the audio, and I hope that you already know by now that it will need the required decoders for that.
Most stand-alone DVD-players only offer support for Xvid or DivX video and MP3 audio in AVI-files.
When you put video on a USB-memorystick for playing it via a TV-set, you may probably also use the MP4-containerformat with H264 video and AAC audio in it. |

Thank you Abrazo and dloneranger too. I was able to eliminate the vbr error message finally by picking full compression for audio, although I didnt have to in the past to get it work  .
Which option would I pick that would include the CBR option?
My sister left so now I can experiment with all the different options, without having to be in a hurry
Once I finish and test the files on my usb stick and put the files on disc, I'll let you know if it worked for me. If not I'll be coming back for more help *covers face embarrassed here* 
Thank you once again! |

For as far as I know, the LAME MP3 audio-encoder/decoder is the only (free) one that very clearly shows its choices for Hz, kbps, CBR/ABR, Stereo/Mono, KB/s.
You can find a setup file for Lame here:

I you like a little bit more info about the difference between Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Average Bit Rate (ABR), then please Google a bit for these three abbreviations.
