Hello,
I'm not too sure if people still check these forums, but it's my last option. I've been trying to compress my audio in videos but Lame MP3 ACM doesn't show up. I am in full processing mode. I have installed the .inf file with no prevail, I have opened command prompt and typed in an endless number of things, but it never works. I've googled but I can't find anything. So, what do I do? I have a Windows 8 x64-bit OS, So could that be why?

Maybe this will help:

A while ago I had the same problem.
The reason why LAME MP3 was not showing up : in Windows Registry, under this key, you might find that the lame codec is not actif (= "0"):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Multimedia\Audio Compression Manager\Priority v4.00]
"Priority1"="1, msacm.imaadpcm"
"Priority2"="1, msacm.msg711"
"Priority3"="1, msacm.msgsm610"
"Priority4"="1, msacm.msadpcm"
"Priority5"="1, msacm.ac3acm"
"Priority6"="1, msacm.l3codec"
"Priority7"="0, msacm.lameacm"
"Priority8"="1, msacm.siren"
"Priority9"="1, msacm.dvacm"
"Priority10"="1, msacm.mpegacm"
"Priority11"="1, msacm.ulmp3acm"
"Priority12"="1, Internal PCM Converter"

After change from '0' to '1' (= from disabled to enabled) the problem was solved.

I still didn't find if it is possible to change this somewhere via a dialogbox.

Please let me know if this solves your problem.

2 other usual reasons

1) On vista and newer, codecs can only be installed as an admin - so any .inf and .cmd have to be run as an admin
2) You have to have the same bit version of lame and virtualdub (both 32bit or both 64bit - 32bit virtualdub etc run fine on 64bit os's)

Easiest way is to have an installer do it - there just happens to be one I put together in my sig on the bottom line

I have the same problem. I installed the 64 bit version of the Lame MP3 codec by following a little tutorial involving the command line. Lame is now listed in the software deinstallation window of Windows, but won't show up in VirtualDub. How can I fix that?

My registry entry doesn't look like the one of Abrazo and I prefer not to use dloneranger's installer as I'd like to be able to install the latest version of the codec myself anytime I want.

What Windows Operating System are you actually using ?
(Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8)

Did you also install 32-bit version of Lame MP3, and does this work with VirtualDub 32-bit ?

I suppose you are trying to use Lame MP3 64-bit in combination with VirtualDub 64-bit ?

Myself, I can not tell you anything out of experience with the 64-bit combination, because I only have a Windows 7 32-bit.

Maybe someone else ?

Sorry, forgot to write I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. The tutorial I followed is:

What version of virtualdub are you using, 32 or 64bit?
The version of the acm codec from rarewares is 32bit only, so it'll never show up in 64 bit virtualdub

The instructions in the zip are fairly self explanatory
Extract the zip to somewhere that will be simple to type eg c:\lame
On the start menu, type cmd, and when it appears on the list right click it and 'run as administrator'
At the dos prompt type
cd /d c:\lame
%systemroot%\syswow64\rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 LameACM.inf

Then you should get an 'installed successfully' type message

If you find a newer 64 bit acm version then it's slightly different
At the dos prompt type
cd /d c:\lame
%systemroot%\rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 LameACM.inf
