Can someone help me understand how to interpret the following error message please.

"The audio codec reported an error while decompressing audio data.
Error code: 512 (ACMERR_NOTPOSSIBLE)"

I have been trying to convert a file xyz.MOV (from a digicam) to a form I can work on in Windows. I used the program SUPER which gave me a file xyz.avi. But that gave the above message in VirtualDub. If I switch audio off then I can playe the AVI.

File > Information, Audio, Compression says: Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec

Are there some settings I can try in either SUPER or VirtualDub please?

Or some alternative reliable way to get from MOV to a robust AVI please?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

No need recompress source video.

Try QuckTime import plugin for VirtualDub...?

Or Avisynth script with QTSource plugin > VirtualDub ...?


Sometime can just change container (without recompression) used MPEG Streamclip or FFmpeg - possible with DV or MJPEG.

Thanks Placio74, but as a novice that's mostly over my head. I was just trying to play the AVI, not recompress anything. I'm not into scripts. Where can I find the QuckTime import plugin to try that please?

I have found and downloaded MPEG Streamclip, and will try that.

Ah, then use other video player.
Example: The KMPlayer, Media Player Classic (+installed QuickTime or QT Alternative), SMPlayer, VLC.

Or if You play by DirectShow (example used WMP) and if have installed ffdshow - set support for uncompressed audio in ffdshow audio decoder.

If sorce it's DV or MJPEG with PCM audio, use Save As... option and change file type to AVI.
If it's MJPEG, possible need (after change container) change FourCC to MJPG.

Thanks. I've now done that, changing the setting in ffDshow for the last entry 'Uncompressed' from Disabled to 'all supported'. Is that what you meant? Anyway, it made no difference. I still get that same error message when I try to play the file in AVI.

I also installed that plugin as per the instructions, but that too made no difference.

I've uploaded the file here (2MB). If you get a few minutes, could you try it yourself please?

It plays in VLC ok with audio.

I don't have the H264 codec loaded so can't open it in VDub.

Ah... MP3 audio.

Extract (demux) audio and add again used VirtualDub or AVI-Mux GUI.

Eventually (with this AVI) just remux (open and save again to new file) used AVI-Mux GUI.

If MOV file contain MP3 audio, extract it before (example used FFmpeg) and add externally in VirtualDub.
