| Hi,
I have many VCD's that have dual-audio that I want to convert it to Divx-AVI with only one of the audio in it, can someone HELP? Alberto |

| I guess they have different audio in left and right stereo channels? or? |

| Yes, they have two language, one on the left channel and the other is on the right channel. |

| I have not seen any converter that fixes this automatically so I guess you have to extract the audio(like with virtualdub, open .dat from vcd, file->save audio) and use an audio editor like audacity and remove one channel and save as a wav mono audio. Then use that audio file in the converter(like virtualdub again, open .dat from vcd, audio->source audio and choose the video file, video->compression choose avi xvid, file->save avi).
Maybe someone else knows an easier way for this though. |

You can use VirtualDub's advanced audio filtering to remove one channel.

| It seems easier yes. :).
So in Virtualdub Open .dat from vcd Audio->Full processing Audio->Use advanced filtering Audio->Filters and the settings by jagabo above Audio->Compression and choose mp3 (install lame mp3 acm if you can't see any mp3) Video->Compression choose divx or xvid (install the divx codec or the xvid codec if you can't see any divx or xvid) File->Save avi Done! |

| Thanks, I'm downloading the Virtualdub and Audacity now and will try it. |

| I have follow exactly the steps but when I save it to AVI, it gives me an error "Error initializing audio stream compression: The audio codec cannot compress the source audio to the desired format." I try various formats for the audio but it gives me the same error. |

| If you don't add any audio filters can you convert then? |

| I have made it now, just select Lame MP3 and NOT select any bitrate, don't know why but selecting any bitrate it gives me the error.
Thank you guys. |

| Use the Audio Conversion section to set the audio paramters to 44.1 or 48 KHz, 16 bit, stereo, high quality. Select the compression after setting the audio parameters. |
