I find it amazing that people always ask the same questions over and over again even when that questions have been answered. Don’t these people read the whole thing? The writer of this article also has made a big mistake by leaving out the audio compression. Hence, lot of questions about the resulting video being much bigger….

My guess would be that you do not have an Audio codec installed that supports VBR mode.

AVI is not a codec … it is a container format that allows both video & audio files to be carried.

Use a free utility like GSPOT to identify -

Then you will know what you have, it will tell you exactly what audio & video codecs were used – then you go download them.

Hi,

I have been trying to open a AVI video file but every time I do I get the follwoing error

[!] AVI: Variable bitrate (VBR) audio detected. VBR audio in AVI is
non-standard and you may encounter sync errors up to 25988ms when
attempting to extract WAV files or processing the audio in Direct Stream
Copy mode. Full Processing mode is recommended to decompress or recompress
the audio. (bitrate: 127.4 ± 16.2 kbps)

What can I do to fix this

Cheers
Scotty

Want your video resized to upload on YouTube or FaceBook. Here’s complete instruction:

1) Go to “Video”, then “Filters”, then click “Add”,
then scroll down to select “resize”. In Size Options, select “Relative (%), and change to 30 x 30, or 50 x 50,
up to you. Then click “OK”. Click “OK” again to exit.

2) Then go to “Video” again, select “Compression”, then select “Cinepak Codec by Radius”, then on the same screen where it says “Quality”, slide the quality bar to the left. The further to the left, the smaller the size of your video. You can select either 5, 10, or 15 and still get okay quality. Then click “OK”.

3) Then go to “File”, click “Save as AVI”. Then you’re done. You should be able to significantly reduce the overall size of your video and post it on YouTube or FaceBook. Audio does not get lost.

.. also for example, my initial video size was 639 MB.. and after size reduction and compression setting adjusted, it’s reduced to 119 MB.

Cheers

Did you select what Audio Codec to use ?

I have tried the method that you mentioned. The result is good except that there is no sound for the video after resized. Any idea, what has gone wrong?

You cannot be following the instructions … if file has gone that big then pretty sure you have not set up video compression.
Look at my answer on Dec 19th .. explains it
