Very new to all this, so please try and be patient with me. thank you I downloaded a movie which came as an AVI. the picture quality is perfect but the audio is extremely low, i have to have the volume right up and then i have a terrible buzzing noise ( i should think this would be normal seeming the volume is on full). the audio is still very very low i have seen around here to use "gspot" to see what the file uses, I hope i leave the right information --------------------------------------------------------------- "gspot info" Audio Codec : 0x0055 MPEG-1 Layer 3 VBR Info : 48000Hz 82 kb/s tot , Joint Stereo Video codec : XVID Name :XviD ISO MPEG-4 --------------------------------------------------------------- any help would be fantastic. and please as i said i am VERY new to this. thank you so much for your time
If the audio can be adjusted satisfactorily - it must also be recoded. Run VirtualDub and open/drag the avi onto the window. Click 'Audio' > 'Full processing mode' then 'Audio' > 'Adjust Volume'. Set a volume adjustment. Use the I or O buttons (circled, lower left) to compare the results. If the result is satisfactory - exit VirtualDub and install the Lame mp3 codec. Restart VirtualDub and repeat the volume adjustment as before. Now click 'Audio' > 'Compression' and select the Lame mp3 filter. Select 48000,128,CBR,Stereo. Click 'Video' > 'Direct Stream Copy' (because you don't want to recode the video part). Click 'File' > 'Save as AVI..' http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Virtualdub http://users.tpg.com.au/mtam/install_lame.htm
Thank you it was a very informative answer but..... when i click on 'Audio' > 'Full processing mode, nothing happens no other window opens i think i have a dud version !! i will have to have a look about to see if i can sort this "missing" option out thank you very much for your speedy reply
Clicking 'Audio' > 'Full processing mode' only turns on 'full processing'. Subsequent actions require selecting the 'Audio' menu again.
see how so (not) switched on I am ? lol thank you did not realize it just gave other options, its all fine and works perfect thank you so much for all your help and easy to follow instructions thank you
