Hello
I have recently purchased a NAS and Networked DVD/Media Player. I want to transfer some of my favourite DVD's to DivX/XVID to store on the NAS.
I've been using CloneDVDMobile for years now and it really is great, however, when I convert any file to DivX, my new player has problems playing it. Picture is fine, but no sound.
So, I investigated the files CloneDVDMobile was creating. By opening one in VitualDubMod, I immediately get the following error message:
"VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source AVI file (audio stream 1). The current preference is to rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during processing for better compatibility. This may introduce up to 0 ms of skew from the video stream. Etc..."
All I need to do to rectify this is resave the file in VirtualDubMod using Direct Stream Copy (i.e. no new encoding/processing, just a simple resave) which seems to rewrite the header and solve the problem. The file plays perfectly on my Media Player.
So, my questions are:
a) Anyone else had this problem?
b) Anything I can do to fix this? It is a bit of a pain having to additionally process every file I convert.
c) Is there a tag or instruction I could add to the Generic DivX entry in devices.ini to force continuous bit rate (CBR) audio encoding?
Many thanks in advance!
