It's not. The File Information screenshot shows a different number of frames than the gspot or virtualdub error screenshot. |

so...why are people using the VBR if its so problematic??
funny thing...
moments after reading the last post, I had another (new) VBR file that needed a volume boost.
Opened it in Virtual Dub, opted for Direct Video/Full Audio, adjusted the volume level
and saved as AVI (file size went from 700mb to 1.6GB
...no error message and the audio stay synched perfectly!
I burned and watched the DVD last night, no problems.
anyway, DarrellS
going back to the file I have used as a test subject up to now
(which is a VBR file, the "file info" screen applies to this file)
Squid is correct, the first 2 screenshots are from a different file.
The second two screenshots are from the file I am using now (to test).
I clicked on the 1 (below MS A/V) and codecs were listed,
then I clicked on the 2 and rendered the file.
It played audio and video...so as I said, I must have the correct codecs.
so why then does it claim it can't decompress as soon as I try to save as AVI???? |

If Virtualdub won't open it but will open all the others then what can we tell you except to use a different program to fix the file.
A screenshot of GSpot doing what I asked would've been helpfull but it looks like we're not getting anywhere here.
You've stated that you don't care if you get sync problems so why should you care if you've got audio at all.
I think I mentioned both AVIDEMUX instead of Virtualdub or using Virtualdub with Goldwave to fix your audio problems but you have your own way of fixing your problems. Not sure what else that I can suggest.
You could try using VirtualdubMod and demuxing the audio and then open the MP3 in Audacity (if you don't have or want to invest in Goldawave, it's free) and either compress to CBR MP3 or leave it as uncompressed wave like you've been doing and reinsert in with VirtualdubMod.
I'm surprised that after 5 days that you haven't been able to fix the file. I would've just deleted it by now. Easy come, easy go. There are other forums like videohelp.com if you can't find the answer you're looking for over here. Most people here use Virtualdub for more than just adjusting the audio in all the VBR AVI files that they've downloaded from file sharing networks. |

You may have a DirectShow decoder, but you're missing an Audio Compression Manager (ACM) codec that can handle the MP3 stream, or somehow the default one in Windows has gotten lost.
I doubt VBR is the problem here. What's more likely the case is that there is something about the audio format that the Fraunhofer codec doesn't like. You can try this version and see if it can auto-fix the format:
http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/VirtualDub-...1.7.3-test4.zip
Otherwise, please use the "create sparse AVI file" option on the tools menu, zip it up, and send me the header -- I can probably figure out why the Fraunhofer codec won't load the file. (There is no audio or video data included in such a dump.) DirectShow decoders tend to be very lax about validation, so sometimes files slip through that have partially incorrect audio format headers.

-VirtualDub won't OPEN the file?....who said that?
A screenshot of GSpot doing what I asked would've been helpfull but it looks like we're not getting anywhere here.
-sorry...obviously I missed something, and I need to go back and see what you asked for amid all this information.
You've stated that you don't care if you get sync problems so why should you care if you've got audio at all.
-don't care about synch problems? Why would I not care? I think I stated that I take a chance when modifying VBR files. It takes about 2 minutes to process the files and sometimes it works, if not I throw the file away!
What a ridiculous comment to make.
I think I mentioned both AVIDEMUX instead of Virtualdub or using Virtualdub with Goldwave to fix your audio problems but you have your own way of fixing your problems. Not sure what else that I can suggest.
-if I had my own way, then I wouldn't be here asking...

-5 days. Got more things on my plate than just this video problem!
-I have nothing I need to delete...got a good working video file. Sometimes I like to play with these files and adjust the screen res, or adjust the contrast or sharpness, repair synch errors, join multi part files together AND adjust audio levels.
-I do not use any "file sharing networks".
-sorry if I have wasted YOUR time, are you suggesting I leave and go to videohelp.com?
Obviously I have irritated you (Darrell) in some way and I am not sure why.
It was not my intention to bother you or upset you and I apologize for any insult I may have offered.
I don't know you, have nothing against you and am only here for some assistance.
I apologize if I am not the smartest Vdub user and haven't answered your questions correctly.
Thanks Phaeron...I think I am just gonna give up on this issue for the time being.

You said...
But now, all of a sudden, any VBR file that I try to alter
will not save...I get this error:
"Error initializing audio stream decompression.
No installed audio codec could be found to decompress the compressed source audio.
Check to make sure you have the required codec."
That says to me that Virtualdub is not opening/decompressing the audo.
| QUOTE | | -sorry...obviously I missed something, and I need to go back and see what you asked for amid all this information. |
A screenshot of GSpot showing the bottom so we can see the decompressors that Windows is using to render the files in GSpot. That would've let everyone see what Phaeron suspects which you are obviously ignoring. You can't come in here asking for help and then either ignore what users say to try and help you or fight them at every turn.

Instead of fixing the file correctly as suggested. There are plenty of guides on the internet on how to do this. You don't have to take my word for it.

No, you probably won't get any help over there either even though there are a lot more Virtualdub users over there than there are over here. You obviously have everything under control. Not sure why you even asked anyone for help at all. Four people have tried to help you here but you've ignored every single piece of advice they've given you. I don't need it, I already got it. I don't need to try another way, this way has always worked for me in the past. You won't get any help with that attitude.
BTW, I don't know anywhere to find screwed up VBR AVI files except for file sharing networks.
Phaeron told you what the problem probably was but you choose to ignore him too.
I'm through arguing with you. |

I QUOTED THE ERROR MESSAGE!
THE ERROR MESSAGE I GOT WHEN TRYING TO SAVE THE ALREADY OPENED FILE!
ITS OPEN, I'M LOOKING AT IT, I'M APPLYING FILTERS, ADJUSTING AUDIO...
BUT CAN'T SAVE IT!
V-DUB SAYS IT CAN'T DECOMPRESS AUDIO...I NEVER SAID I COULDN'T OPEN A FILE!

RE-READ YOUR POSTS AND TELL ME EXACTLY WHERE YOU DEMANDED THIS SCREENSHOT.
SORRY IF I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND YOUR HIDDEN MESSAGES!

IF THEY ARE ALL LIKE YOU, I GUESS I WOULDN'T GET ANY HELP!
I STATED, ONCE!, THAT I ALREADY HAD A CODEC THAT WAS SUGGESTED!
HOW THIS JUSTIFIES YOUR STATEMENT, I DON'T KNOW.
SHOULD I HAVE KEPT THAT A SECRET?
BTW, I don't know anywhere to find screwed up VBR AVI files except for file sharing networks.
WHO SAYS I HAVE SCREWED UP FILES?
I DON'T HAVE ANY SCREWED UP FILES...WHERE DO YOU COME UP WITH THESE STATEMENTS?
I JUST WANTED TO MODIFY A FILE.
ARE YOU READING THE SAME POSTS??
I TOLD YOU I DON'T GET FILES FROM FILE SHARING NETWORKS...ARE YOU DEAF?
OR DO YOU JUST ASSUME EVERYONE YOU DON'T LIKE IS A LIAR?
Phaeron told you what the problem probably was but you choose to ignore him too.
THE ONLY PERSON I CHOOSE TO IGNORE IS YOU....YOU ARROGANT BULLY!!
IF YOU HAVE NO CONSTRUCTIVE ANSWERS THEN WHY SPEAK AT ALL?
YOU ARE AN INSIGNIFICANT JERK WHO HIDES BEHIND A MONITOR
TO CRITICIZE AND BULLY PEOPLE.

@airdave:
Although you tried to obscure it, it's pretty clear to me from your screen shots that what you have there is a "dvd rip" of some movie, so consider yourself lucky that anyone bothered to try to help you at all. Especially phaeron.
As far as I'm concerned, just take your dvd rips and go away.

May the FOURCC be with you... |

Alright, waaay over the line here across the board. I don't like what I'm seeing here from all sides. Topic locked.
airdave, if you're still interested in a solution, please repost your question under a new topic. Blank out the filename, I don't care. Anything out of line in that post from anyone and I'm just going to edit and/or delete like a madman, no questions asked.
