I recently had a hard drive failure, so I am trying to get everything back up and running the way it was before..
I record live bands on a dvd recorder, I then rip the dvd to avi, extract the audio, sweeten it a bit and put it back into the video file. I use virtualdub's "direct stream copy" to extract the ac3 stream, which it saves with a .wav extension.
I used to be able to click these ".wav" files and convert to wave using dmc 14 reference (and lots of earlier versions). When I try that now it gives me an error, it obviously thinks that because the extension is wav that they are wav files when previously it knew they were not. If I change the file extension to .ac3 it can convert them fine but this is cumbersome and annoying when it used to do it seamlessly.
What have I missed, is there a setting I'm missing in dmc, or is it something else?
