well im having trouble trying to compress my audio using xvid codec. i go to select the audio format and it wont allow me to compress it as Mpeg-3 like it normally does. it keeps saying "no format supported" under attributes. does any one know how to fix this? thanks in advance.

If you can't be bothered - do you have the Lame MP3 codec installed on your PC?

no im not confused i probably didnt explain a little clearer. im encoding a video i just finished and i had this problem with my last with my last few vids that were in xvid and it wouldnt let me compress the audio in mpeg 3. the last time i checked i did not have the lame mp3 codec installed.

First, install LAME and see if that fixes it.

If it doesn't, then take the file that contains the audio you're trying to compress and open it in VirtualDubMod. Select File Information... from the File menu and tell us what it says under "Audio stream".

You can also encode the audio in Virtualdub (without using besweet) if you get the LAME ACM codec.

well i downloaded the lame codec but i cant figure out how to install it. i clicked the .exe of it and a black box pops up then disappears. and the dll file i believe its called doesnt seem to be working either. i tried lookng up guides on how to install but cant seem to get to work. apparently when i go to encode in vdub and chose the xvid codec i cant select the mp3 audio codec option either.

So, what does VirtualDub give for information on the audio stream (see the second half of my last post)?

I don't have LAME...but from your description it sounds like the .exe has a CLI instead of a GUI

That's exactly right - the .exe is a CLI interface, although it and the .dll can be used as the MP3 encoder for GUI-based programs like dBPowerAMP.

Installing the ACM codec (if it's not included in a general installation program - doesn't AMVapp come with it? I can't remember) is a matter of right-clicking on the .inf file and choosing 'Install'.

ok i downloaded the Lame ACM codec and it appeared in vdub and i was able to choose the Lame MP3 codec option. is there to get that to work in vegas or am i just going to have to make an uncompressed vid then send it over to vdub or some thing in order to compress the audio?
