Vdub does not save audio

[Bargins]

Hello everyone,

yesterday I have decided to make first AMV on my new PC using AEE CS6. As the program does not support .mkv files I have spent all morning today trying to open my footage on Virtual Dub via Avisynth and finally became succesful. Yet when I try to save my .avi file it has no audio. Maybe I don't have some codecs or haven't checked some box or something..?

Codecs I have at the moment:
-Latest Xvid codec
-Latest DivX codec
-Latest CCCP codec pack
-Latest ffdshow
-Latest Haali Media Splitter
-Avisynth 2.5

Oh, and by the way. When I'm trying to compress audio with mpeg layer-3 it gives me weird error.


Thanks in advance!

If you're using

Code: Select all

ffvideosource("blabla.mkv")

To load the file, it's going to be video only.
If you need the audio too, you can do

Code: Select all

ffcopyrightinfringement("blabla.mkv")

which is one of the functions included in the avsi. Assuming this does not work, it is just a shorthand for

Code: Select all

audiodubex(ffvideosource("blabla.mkv"),ffaudiosource("blabla.mkv"))

which should work.
At that point the audio is loaded.

As for the vdub error, I have never encountered it... it should be basically saying there's missing audio somewhere along the line thus vdub can't do its magic, but I'll leave it to MisterHatt just to be sure.

It does not work.. I get this message

I was using directshowsource script and I have found out one thing. It actually saves audio but does not play it for some reason.

Maybe I'm missing some codec or something. I don't know.. Damn, it's so demotivating...

Ugh, don't use directshowsource. I assumed you were using ffvideosource since you said you didn't have the audio.

This should be fine for your purposes. Extract .dll, .avsi, and .exe directly inside the plugins folder of avisynth, at that point you should be able to use the function that didn't work.


Either way, yes, dss loads audio by default, so clearly something else went wrong somehow, but I wouldn't really be able to know what exactly at this point...
Have you tried the "File" > "Save wav" option from virtualdub? That might work out for your needs, although uncompressed audio can be pretty big (much less than uncompressed video, but still).

It worked! I downloaded the files you suggested and everything works fine!! Thank you very much!
