MP3 codec for AviSource? | ||
| AlanHK posted 2009 Sep 29 13:31 | ||
| I had my Windows codecs scrambled by someone installing a random video app.
I got rid of it but was left with some problems, specifically with AviSource in Avisynth. If I now use AviSource() to open an AVI file using MP3 audio, it comes up with an error: "The requested conversion is not possible". Previously these worked fine. I installed ffdshow and that allows me to play just about anything, and is invoked by DirectShowSource(), but AviSource can't use these and still gives the same error. What do I need to install/enable so AviSource can handle MP3? This is in Win2k, but most things work the same as XP. | ||

| did you try re-installing a mp3 codec? | ||

| I think it's Lame ACM that you're looking for | ||

| Maybe re-registering quartz.dll? Or l3codeca.acm, l3codecp.acm, or l3codecx.ax? | ||

l3codeca.acm was in the system32 folder and was unregistered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32. -- Looking inside the file it's apparently the Fraunhofer MP3 decoder. (lameACM.acm was already registered though.) So I ran: regsvr32.exe "D:\WinNT\system32\l3codeca.acm" And now it's registered and AviSource works. Thanks! (I put a similar post on Doom9 a few days ago, as that's the fount of all Avisynth knowledge. 60+ views, not one single reply.) | ||

| LameACM is only an encoder. |
