!! Virtual Dub Problem - Urgent

[Dipen01]

Hey guys,

i wanted to compress a certain avi file using Xvid and Mp3 but when i tried using Virtual dub, in Audio Compression i couldnt find any options under Mpeg Layer - 3, which is unusual !! I am posting a screen shot.!!

Well usually i HAVE to unwillingly do all my compressions under Win XP as same thing happens when i use Vista. I dont get any option under Mpeg Layer -3, But this time even under Win XP i am not gettin any option.

I want to solve it once and for all even for Vista. I installed and uninstalled Klm Codec Pack, Vista Codec Pack but there is no change.!!

Heres the screenie




Thanx
Dipen

^^ I dont exactly know what your problem is as this never happened with me.
Try using ogg vorbis for audio compression. At low bitrates, it is better than mp3.

for Mp3 i used 48Kb/s bitrate..!! which one of ogg vorbis should i use and what would be equivalent to Mp3..??

Plus isnt ther any way to install MP3 encoder...

i installed Lame Mp3 codec in the beginning..!!

well dipen the problem is that you don't have ny MP3 encoder installed , just do one thing , Install K-Lite Codec Pack n then you'll have all the necessary codeds you'll need to encode files .

Use same bitrate for Ogg. Encode a SMALL audio file (song etc.) in Ogg(Use audacity or any other software since you cant use Virtual Dub) and check the diff. between Ogg and Mp3. I am sure Ogg wont disappoint you. If you still dont like the sound quality, then use a higher bitrate

main problem i faced with ogg was that when using it to compress the audio track of a movie , the Audio was not in sync with the video . so i suggest you use WMA at 96 kbps or 128kbps if size is a very big concern

IS there any way i can use mp3..???????
