Ok i have an avi file that i downloaded from my work's server, it is a long promotional video on a new drug that our company is releasing and i have to review it and show it to my board members, our company doesn't have the best media department and i wasn't aware i would have to show it to other people so i now have the task of putting it onto a dvd. That is not the prob, only i was messing with encoders and ctrl-alt-del'd some (stupid yes i know) halfway through because it was taking too long and i screwed the avi up royally. To the point where when i load it up in winamp or realplayer the time skips around frantically and so does the movie. So i d/l'd a freeware avidefreezer and it fixed that but the audio is all screwed up. I used virtualdubmod to extract the audio than i attempted to put the audio back with VDM but it basically took about 25+gigs until i ran out of space on my HD. How is this possible? The avi video file is only 3-4gigs i believe. Is there another program that i can use to strip the bad audio from the newly fixed avi video file and input the .mp3 file that i extracted? Thanks.
You may try e.g. Video Edit Magic: http://www.deskshare.com/vem.aspx It'll basically be a cut and paste operation, pretty simple. Good luck!
