Problem with mci and mp3 encoder
Hi Everybody
When i choose to record my microphone with the mp3 encoder without selecting "use mci recording", the audio of my avi file is encoded with the right mp3 encoder but the sound is very bad.
If i encode with the mp3 encoder but selecting "use mci recording", the audio is encoded with pcm encoder, this make my Avi very heavy, but the sound is good.....
How can i encode with mp3 lame using mci option ????????
i search everywhere in the web and found nothing, remove and replace ACM mp3 layer, nothing change.
for the mci, here is the result of an mci tester :
Results for MP3 Format Check:
MCI Extension: MPEGVideo
Mediaplayer Extension Type: MPEGVideo
MCI 32-bit Driver: mciqtz32.dll
so...i don't understand. i use camstudio 2.0 on a hp pavillion dv7-1203ef, the audio system is IDT High Definition Audio CODEC, the o.s is windows vista. Thanks for your help.

I recommend against using the mp3 format while recording your master, as it causes the sync to drift for some reason. This drift is bad enough to be noticeable after just a few minutes.
Live with the large audio component initially, then try some of the various converters to go to mp3 (or ac3) as a post-production measure. OR - I let YouTube do the number crunching, then download its MP4 version, which usually is transcoded very well and never has audio/video sync drift.
I don't know why the sound would be bad unless you had tried to reduce the bit-rate or the sampling frequency quite drastically. But, like I say above, it is not worth troubling with, since the sync gets tromped upon so badly.
Did you see the articles on sync?

Do i use Interleave video and audio ? i don't understand very much this option and wich setting i have to apply
cdumdum
I am surprised to see that merely switching to 22khz solved your sync issues with MP3 - I'll have to give that a try!
For another audio compression format the MSADPCM and - at least for mono - GSM 6.10 both hold sync extremely well.

I have had success with Any Video Converter and the MediaCoder FLV edition for making FLV (and MP4) conversions. In MediaCoder for MP4, make certain you do not use the "Baseline" profile or the video won't work in WMP. (under "Options")
