Audio problems... I first noticed them when I attempted to join two .avi files with: 1 - avijoiner 2 - AVI MPEG RM WMV Joiner 3 - VirtualDub Corresponding error messages were as follows: 1: "Audio Differ (when second .avi was introduced)" 2: "[filename.avi] and [filename.avi], The audio streams have different sampling rates (13890.00000 vs. 13796.00000) which may cause errors while merging! Do you want to continue?" 3: "VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source AVI file and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during processing for better compatibility. This may introduce up to 32546 ms of skew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable, decompress the *entire* audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 111.1 +_ 13.9 kbps)" I am guessing the best way to solve the problem with the first two is to do as VirtualDub has said and: "decompress the *entire* audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 111.1 +_ 13.9 kbps)" In the simplest possible terms, how do I do this? Is there one piece of software that will do it for me? If so, which is it and how do I use it? If not, which ones do I need and how do I use them? Thanks
Nandub works with VBR MP3 and AC3 audio. Dunno if it will merge your files, but it won't bitch about VBR audio... You don't really wanna decompress both audio & re-encode CBR; nonsense ;-( Nandub difficult to find. It is included in the GordianKnot rippak, available for download from aD. L8R
AVIMux_GUI is something someone in another forum pointed out to me. It's a powerful little tool, fast and did the merge seemlessly. I no longer need that advice, but thanks.
