Vlc converted video no audio

Postby ginovanta » 18 Apr 2017 21:21

Hi guys,hope someone will help me shine some light on this: i made a muxed video in virtualdub that i seem can only play with VLC so i tried to convert it with VLC itself trying to make it also smaller.
I obtained a nice video result ,without much quality loss, problem is no matter what audio encoding i use the sound will not play if i open the converted video in windows media player and i can't understand what i am doing wrong.
Now i would normally play it with VLC but since i have to share it i'd like for it to be experienced in the viewers players of choice

hope someone could help me

I don't think anybody can help on that.

You'd need to give a clue as to what the "muxed video in virtualdub" is. Tell what you tried to convert it to with vlc. Did you use commanline(and post that if you did), or a GUI wizard(what selections), or the record button? What system are you on(because the file path to vlc matters), what vlc version?

The problem is that you can easily try to do something that's not doable, if you don't specifically do it right... -as far as converting. There's plenty of medias that are easy to do with default settings, but probably more that aren't going to work without specific intervention because of compatibility of medias.

Post up as much technical info that you know and then maybe someone can give a hand.

ex. I created an avi file with virtualdub and tried to convert it to an mp4 but there is no audio.

even better. On Win7/64 I created an mpeg2/aac mono video with virtualdub and tried to convert it to an h264/mp3 7.1 surround mp4 for public consumption but there is no audio. (someone can definitely answer this for you! :wink: )
