Hi. I was curious to know why my rips cannot be imported into Adobe Audition(Even as uncompressed RGB/No codec/AVI files).

I have a terrible memory, but...

Initially, I ripped a much worse quality segment with DVDx, which I think is an older program. It created static lines, but I ignored them. The rips were saved as MPEGs(4 GB), I then converted them to AVI, and since Audition only allows 1 video per session I had to take an already finished video(Intro) and join them all with an AVI joiner. Then, I was able to import the video into Adobe Audition. The process was roughly 5 minutes, I believe. I added appropriate sounds on the audio tracks, saved and the quality decreased again. My main goal was to record this onto a DVD using (Nero). The quality came out horrible on DVD, and so I decided to redo the entire process. I have the session saved in Adobe Audition, so all of the audio files are in the correct places... all I'll need to do is import the better quality AVI file and line it up with the audio tracks, right?

So, instead of using DVDx this time, I used VirtualDub Mod to rip the segment of the DVD(that was inserted in my DVD-writer drive.)(VTS_01_2.VOB) I edited out parts I didn't need, and then went to File.... Save as -> (Audio-Video Interleave (*.avi), the approximate time wait was 30-40 minutes considering the duration of the clip was around 11 minutes. When it was finished, I checked its properties and it read 'AVI Video, 15 GB, (Audio & Video)' info, with an image width of 720, and a height of 480, I believe.(Deleted them to save space). However, there was no sample rate for audio. I tried importing into the Multitrack of Adobe Audition's Video & Audio editing mode and got this message:

"The selected file contains no video data, the file format is not supported or the video codec required for this file was not found."

If someone understands this message, can you please lend me a hand? Are there specific codecs that must be used in order to import AVI files of this quality?

Better yet, do you recommend I go for the Compressing method to MPEG-1/MPEG-2, AVI-(specific codec), or whatever Audition can support?

I also tried other compression methods: Xvid MPEG-4 Codec, Divx(newest). Nothing.
(I understand 15 GB would be too hard to work with, if there was some way to compress this down and into a codec Audition supports, that'd be great).


Help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It's telling you that either:

A) The file has no video. We know it does, so disregard.

B) The file format is unsupported. We know AVI is supported, disregard.

C) The codec cannot be found. Hmm, you used no codec. You need to. Try HuffYUV for a free lossless type codec. Your file will be huge, as nearly uncompressed video is. No way around that, but once you re-encode as an MPG for use on DVD the size will be dramtically reduced.

Thanks, man. I forgot to mention this though, I'm not sure what codecs Audition supports. And I tried most that were listed in VirtualDub; Divx, xvid MPEG-4...

I'll give this a try though and get back. Thanks again.


EDIT: Well, HUFFYuv didn't work either. I'm running out of options here. I was going to try CloneAD, but that requires additional Windows installation utilities. Here's the procedure:

Open VirtualDub Mod:
File -> Open Video File
Locate DVD VOB files -> Video_TS -> VTS_01_2.VOB
Set selection start -> Set selection end -> Edit out what I don't need


File -> Save as ...
File type: Audio-Video Interleave (*.avi)
All checkboxes Unchecked
Video mode: Full processing mode
Compression: Uncompressed RGB


Is it possible, since Nero practically took ownership of my video files, Audition won't open the file?
