i download a avi with torrent, but unfortunely with only remaining 256kb, there is no more seeder. i try play a moment, it can be play with VLC or MPC, but i wonder if when play at the 256kb un-downloaded part, would the player freeze or would just resume? if it would freeze, then can anyone recommend me a software to "repair" this avi file?

try use avifixed to repair your file. usually this tool will repair most corrupted or damaged or incomplete avi.

1. Convert your avi with tmpenc but just select video output and no audio output.
2. Use vdub to extract the audio from your avi. Use save wav function. Rename the wave to ac3 once it is done.
3. Use besweet to re-encode the ac3 to mp2. make sure that you use 44100 output because most ac3 is 48000 which is good if you doing dvd.

if all fail, then i suggest you download DIKO from www.vmesquita.com to the conversion. you will have less pening.

thanks! such small program but does wonder.
found and error at frame 73952

hello,i'm going to get a e398,and it can support mp4,but i dunno any mpeg-4 converter,pls direct me to the thread if this have been discussed before,coz i lazy to read all 19 pages ,i tried imtoo mpeg encoder,but when i click it,it auto delets itself

mpegableX4Live can do...
If im not mistaken, Motorola e398 cannot play .mp4 but .3gp can la...
When you play you'll see nothing audio only...Correct me if i'm wrong.

try asking around if someone have the file

what software can i use to cut mp3? thanks

try using diff software larr, like ashampoo shrink and burn 2,its made for dvd players,you can use it to burn vcds,svcds,and dvds,it auto converts files that are not in the correct format,like you 1 2 burn vcd from an avi file,you just insert the file into the list,and it will suto convert for you,it actually converts faster than a program thats made to convert,like imtoo mpeg converter and so-on,it also give you a selection to split the file into a few disk,you can also like insert 10 files and then split to 3 disk,or something like that ,the only thing i can't burn is my bleach downloads, in the end,it bocome pixelised

edit: oops,sorry,forgot to tell you ,this is a burning doftware,not file converting software

AAC to AC3 conversion guide

Story:
Just recently I thought of transfering some of my anime collections to DVD-video so that they can be played on DVD (besides saving some space on the hard drive. However a set of my anime series were using MKV format, with AAC audio codec. AAC is not compatible for DVD authoring therefore it needed to be converted to other audio format. Since it was a 6 channel audio, better if we convert it to 5.1 AC3 format instead to preserve the sound channels.

The tools.....
1. Mkvtoolnix (includes mkvmerge & mkvextract)
2. mkvextract GUI (if you prefer GUI instead of CLI)
3. aacDECdrop
4. BeSweet
5. Wavewizard
6. Soft Encode

Wait.....
Before we start, I just want to clarify that this is guide is only about converting AAC to AC3, not the whole DVD authoring process. For DVD authoring guide, you may want to refer from other source such as Afterdark forum. Some of the tools used were available as freeware, shareware or trial version but it is recommended to use full version to avoid any limitations. It is recommended to have all the necessary codecs such as MKV, AAC and AC3. I had these codecs from K-lite Codec Pack. Other than that, make sure you already install all the tools accordingly, with the right path.

Common problems.....
There are actually a few method of doing this. A fast way is by using GraphEdit. With GraphEdit, you can convert AAC to AC3 without the need of going through AAC to WAV conversion. However, there is one common problem using this method. The output AC3 file usually had very low volume. Eventhough you can adjust the AC3 volume using AC3filter, the sound will be still very low if you play your DVD on the DVD player that you have to crank the TV volume up. My method eliminates this problem although the job is a little bit tedious.

Let's get started.....
1. Extract AAC from video
Run mkvextract. Tick the audio stream that u wanted and extract. Make sure you remember the location.

2. Convert AAC to WAV
Open aacDECdrop and drag your AAC file to it. It will create a 6 channel WAV file.

3. Separate a 6 channel WAV file to six mono channel WAV files
Use BeSweet to do the job. I used BeSweet with GUI to do this. All options were left at default. Make sure you select 'six waves' for the output. Then, click on WAV to WAV to convert. You will have six mono channel WAV files. They are named as ***-FL.wav, ***-FR.wav, ***-C.wav, ***-SL.wav, ***-SR.wav and ***-LFE.wav
However, these files are actually not in the correct order. Don't ask me why, I found out about this in other forums and the information is seemed to be true. We will recorrect this problem later on.

4. Check audio for the correct sampling
DVD supported audio must be in 48000Hz sampling. If your WAV file is using other sampling (eg: 44100Hz, 22050Hz) you need to upsample it to 48KHz. To do this, add all the mono wav files into WaveWizard. Make sure in the 'Preferences' you set the sampling rate to 48000Hz and 'Sound Level Control' set to 'none'. Then proceed with conversion. New wav files will be generated. They're named as ***-FL(1).wav, ***-FR(1).wav etc.

5. Re-correct audio position and AC3 conversion
Open Soft Encode. Load all the re-sampled WAV files. With this tool, you can re-adjust the position of the mono WAVs. Re-arrange the WAV channels to:

***-FL(1).wav = Center
***-FR(1).wav = Front Left
***-C(1).wav = Front Right
***-SL(1).wav = Surround Right
***-SR(1).wav = LFE
***-LFE(1).wav = Surround Left

I use Soft Encode's default setting and there was no problem. Proceed with 'Encode' by clicking on the circle red button.

Finish

You can check your AC3 file with AC3fix, but as I was lazy and confident enough with my work I just skip it

Now you can use AC3 as sound source for your DVD authoring

Note 1 - You can skip step 3. Step 3 purpose is to have each WAV file in smaller sizes.
Note 2 - *** is your WAV file name

soulfly, i think u should convert the 5.1 aac to 2.0 ac3 because i don't think anime audio have any real multichannel effect. (tools to use: ffdshow,AviSynth,VirtualDub(Mod) ). for encoding ac3 can also use the one that come with BeSweet or some dvd authoring program come with ac3 encoder. i think the BeSweet ac3enc does not have the low volume problem that Soft Encode has.

btw, how do u convert aac to ac3 using GraphEdit?
