"Unable to access the audio codec driver" when 'tr

[wordguy]

Nature of the problem

I'm trying to save a select portion of a video file using VS9 and when I select 'Save Trimmed Video' I get the error message "Unable ti access the audio codec driver"


Properties of my source files (format, file size, where did you get it?)

The source file is an AVI --Open DML, 29.970 frames/sec, 134.89 data rate, XVID Mpeg-4 codec (video), MPEG LAyer-3 (audio encoded at 126 kBits/s, 48,000 Hz, Stereo)

What devices are involved and their mode of connection?

I'm just using my PC (3.2 Ghz, 1G ram, Windows XP Pro, Radeon x1800 graphics)

Project Settings

NTSC non-drop frame (30 fps)
Microsoft AVI files
24 Bits, 320 x 240, 30 fps
Lower Field First
XviD MPEG-4 Codec
MPEG Audio Layer3, 44100 Hz, 320 kbps CBR, Stereo

Output format (file, DVD, VCD, SVCD)

Just saving it as a short avi file.

PAL or NTSC

Error Codes (if any)

"Unable to access the audio codec driver

[17103:9:3]"



Any way to fix this so I can save the portion of the clip?

Thanks in advance,

w.

DivX Xvid and MPEG4 are for all intents and purposes the same, a highly compressed format but retaining very high quality. They are perhaps the best formats to use for sharing video over the internet.

Unfortunately these formats are not DVD compliant. They are also difficult to edit due to their highly compressed nature, even more compressed than the MPEG2 format required to make a DVD VOB file.

You need to 'decompress' them into a more suitable format first.
A free program that converts virtually any video format into virtually any other is SUPER

There are plenty of others around.
The one I use is a bit more work but I always get good results and that is
ConvertXtoDVD which converts it into a DVD, but I then rename the resultant VOB file to MPG and use that.
