Unofficial VirtualDub Support Forums > Codec Discussion > Can't Compress To Mp3

Posted by: mikelis Jan 27 2003, 08:00 PM

I have spent all weekend trying to compress a 13GB DV file to Divx 5.02 and Mp3 128 using 2-pass encoding.

I was able to encode sucessfully without altering the PCM audio, only compressing the video.

When i selected the output file that contained the compressed Divx video,
i chose directstream copy on the video, and full processing on the audio-selecting 128m/48k. then i did a save as
AVI. the program started compressing but at frame 9995, the frame rate went to zero, and estimated time kept increasing, and no additional processing occurred. i had to abort the program.

I took the segment of video that comprised frame 9995 and compressed both the vidio and audio on it using the above method so i know the avi clip os OK.

I can't seem to get past frame 9995. i also tried compressing the audio only on the full 13GB DV file but the same thing happens.

I've also tried other audio codecs (Windows Audio) -same thing happens.

I was able to extract the full PCM audion on the 1 hour DV file and compressed it to MP3 with an external encoder correctly.

WHat's up with this? both Windows XP and Windows 2000 experience the same problem. I am using the latest version of VirtualDub.

Is there some other tool i can use to merge the mp3 audio wth the Divx video?

I was able to merge the MP3 and video file using NANDUB. Virtualdub wouldn't do it.

Dear mikelis, we have transcoder for the same problem. Try to use it from http://www.alparysoft.com , it's free.

@ alpary,

i was browsing the link you gave and didnt find any proper description of the licenses you are offering with your software, only that it has been developed for TEAC America.

Please note i will not allow any form of advertisement for proprietary, closed source software here on this board. As long as its all freeware i will make an exception and not demand it turning opensource, but if i get the faintes notice of you trying to charge money for your stuff you will be banned immediately.

@mikelis :

Try VirtualdubMod from http://sf.net/projects/virtualdubmod . It has most functionalities that nandub had ( except the DivX3 compression ), and a few nice things more.

Plus, its opensource
