I realise that Virtualdub will only encode mp3 audio at 56kb because of the l3codeca.acm and that this is true for Windows Media Player as well. My question is that if I bought one of those Xpacks for encoding at a higher bitrate in Windows Media Player, would the l3codeca.acm be replaced with something useful, or would I still be stuck encoding in Virtualdub at 56kb

I have since found out that the XPack codec works quite well with virtualdub. It is well worth the 10 dollars if only because the codec itself is much faster than the L3codeca.acm that virtualdub was using to encode up to 56kb. With a new CPU upgrade and some memory and the new codec I have gone from 40 minutes to compress 42 minutes of audio (video compresses in realtime during recording with divx 5.02) from a tvcard down to less than 10.
