This short tutorial only refers to the audio part
of converting a movie. For a detailed explanation of how
to convert the video part of a DVD refer to the following
sections:
Once you finished the video part it's time to deal with
the audio-part. Here is a step-by-step guide on how
to multiplex and existing AC3 stream with MPEG4
Video :
Start the included batchfile that installs the AC3
filters.
Windows 98: registerfilters-98.bat WinNT/Win2k: registerfilters-2k.cmd
Demultiplex the audiostream using vstrip
or alternatively you could have checked the DirectStreamCopy
checkbox in FlaskMPEGs settings for Audio or you could
have used SmartRipper to demux
(so you have alot of options to choose from)
Copy the changed VirtualDub-AC3.exe to your VirtualDub
directory.
(you may also just start the executable)
Start VirtualDub-AC3.exe
Use menu File->Open video file... and choose
your converted video.
Choose menu Video->Direct Stream Copy
Use menu Audio->AC3 Audio and select your
AC3 File
VirtualDub will state the bitrate and format of the
AC3 File
Select menu Audio->Interleaving The following window will appear:
Set Preload to 160 ms
Set Interleave audio every to 160 ms (Make sure that the ms checkbox is checked)
Hit OK (NOTE: with the Moonlight Odio Dekoda
the above values are no longer of any importance since
the decoder works differently and also does not need the
AC3 from AVI filter)
Choose menu Audio->Direct Stream Copy
If your have chosen your movie to fit onto 2 CDs you
might also want to split it up now
Choose menu Video->Select Range...
Now set the lenths appropriatly:
1st CD)
- Start offset has to be set to 0
- Length should be set to the half of Length
2nd CD)
- Start offset has to be set around the Length of CD1
- End offset should be set to 0
(the length should be set automatically to the right
value)
Hit the OK button
Save file with File->Save AVI...
(you have to do with with ever disc you decided to
make)
