Simple question can I edit the audio in a video file without seperating them into 2 files, and if I can how? I have a new Archos Video player and want to transfer some movies to it. I have the video compression down, just need to find out how to convert to mp3. Thanks for the help if u bother to.
It's recommendable to demux the audio to <whatever the audio stream in your source is encoded in> using e.g. virtualdub, encode to mp3 with lame + some of the recommended settings from the sticky thread here, using besweet or foobar2000 (special installer, separate input plugins might be necessary) and re-mux the .mp3 with the video using virtualdub or some fork like nandub if you want VBR/ABR mp3 instead of CBR (I don't know if your player will support it). IIRC all these steps can be done at once with virtual dub, but the problem is that you can't use the quality-optimized recommended lame settings but some lower-quality default ones (I can't tell for sure; I've never done this myself, I only saw the options in VDub menues a while back). - this thread rather belongs to some video forum. I'll move it...
Thanks, yea well I'm having trouble now installing the lame codec into virtual dub, the readme apparently states that I need a DDK. I'm kinda short on time with school, aptests, and many many other things so I don't have much time to fool around to found out how to do this.. So can I get a simple set of instructions on what to do?
Oh yea, and my player only allows mp3 audio and the DivX5.1.1(or Mpeg-4 all I know is that using the Divx 5.1.1 codec in Virtual Dub with 1 pass works just fine) video format 640x368 resolution max.
