I created a Divx file from a DVD i own. I decided to backup the divx file, so I followed a guide on doom9 net. I misread a part when ripping the audio from the movie file. I used virtualdub to rip the audio but instead of using full processing mode I used direct stream copy. This resulted in a wav file that was roughly the same size as a mp3 file. It seems that the wav is compressed like an Mp3. I can open and play the file in media player and goldwave, but I cannot save any changes i make to it. goldwave indicates the file is an mpeg3 layer wave file which i have never heard of before.

I converted the wav file to an ac3 using ac3 machine& besweet v1.4 and ended up with a file of around 100MB. this means when encoding the video the resultant filesize is almost 99.5% dvd capacity (4.1GB+), with audio only getting 0.5%. when authoring the dvd i end up with an amazing picture and sound. Ive had mixed results with other dvd ive tried from this discovery. I am unable to find any topics of this on the net. All of the movies play great from the hard drive in power dvd but when i burn them onto a blank DVD sometimes the disc is 100% sometimes the audio skips a bit.

HAVE I DISCOVERED SOMETHING OR AM I JUST A BIT BEHIND?? I NEED GUIDANCE ON THIS

any info on this would be appreciated.
