Extracting audio from an AVI

Re: Extracting audio from an AVI

uh.....Larry!, are you being sarcastic?

2 hours is a pretty damn long time for me. I have a 733 mhz Celeron Processor.

Actually I fear he's right. This is typically a long process. I was doing this the other day for 2 videos totalling about 12 minutes. It takes about 20-25 minutes to make a dvd or a vcd with that. Only 2 minutes actually for the burning step itself.

Yeah, and it mainly depends on resolution of video. The bigger res it have, the more time you'll need to encode. Let's say, that movie clip at 640x480 will take as twice to encode as 320x240.

Christina, you said 12 minutes. I said 2 hourz. 2 hours is pure torture for me. :yawn:

The video is 12 minutes. The rendering was 20 minutes!

Re: Extracting audio from an AVI

The rendering times also depends on the quality of the original video and if the original is compressed.

oh. haha. I can't read! :lol:

Would getting a faster CPU speed up the process?

[neilthecellist]

Re: Extracting audio from an AVI

the original video is GIGANTIC. 718 megabytes. Surprisingly, the audio associated with the video is compressed. MP3 at 138 kbps ABR. the video quality is a DivX thingy. I'm not sure about the video compression.

Re: Extracting audio from an AVI

Getting a faster CPU would speed up the process some, yes, but then you would be limited by your slow RAM. The best bet to speed up the encoding is to buy a new computer that doesn't have "celeron" within 30 feet of it.

Anyway... 718MB is "GIGANTIC"? Lol, not exactly. Try compressing a 4GB file down to 700MB. As for burning that to a CD, you need a program that can decode Divx and burn it off as a VCD.

lol LtData. To me, 718 megabytes is huge. Sorry.

What program do I need to burn a DivX encoded video to VCD?

It's kinda big to me too, with my 40GB HDD and all. I'm just saying they do come in bigger sizes

Not sure. What program do you use to burn CDs normally? Nero may work, but I've never tried it.

Re: Extracting audio from an AVI

I use Nero 6. Latest version (version 6.6.0.1) and i think it's great for burning general data, but for VCDs, it takes like 2 hours (sometimes even longer) to burn a simple VCD.

Re: Extracting audio from an AVI

Do you want it to be watchable on dvd or just to archive it as it is on cd?
In 2nd case, burn it as data and enable overburn and short lead out options in nero. It will fit on regular 700mb cd with those options enabled.

Re: Extracting audio from an AVI

I wanna watch it on a DVD player as a VCD.

[ChristinaS]

Re: Extracting audio from an AVI

How long is the avi? Is the 718MB size a compressed AVI? Then it's big and it won't fit on a vcd anyway.

If it's not compressed already, try using the Stoik VideoPak video converter program and either turn it into a compressed avi or into an mpeg and then try making the vcd again. It may work faster.

Re: Extracting audio from an AVI

yes. 718 megabytes compressed. Is Stoik VideoPak video converter free?
