Hi all. I've been trying to record a video using srcdemo and lawena which has been going smoothly so far, however I've run into the problem of the sound files not recording (correctly at least). I've been following kirby's tutorial for the most part, but when I try to put the audio files into virtualdub it gives me this error:
Can't open "D:\Lawena\srcdemo\NewFolder\snakewater1_.wav": The file is empty.
For a couple clips the audio has worked perfectly, but for some reason the majority of the time I get this same error. I read online that it can corrupt the audio files if you don't hit deactivate at the end of recording, but it still gets the same error if I do that.
Anyone else experienced this before? If it helps I'll paste my settings for lawena and srcdemo (can't think of any other program that would affect this).
Audio output: WAV (Buffered)
Buffer size: 1024 kilobytes
Buffer timeout: 6 seconds
Edit:
Haven't had any sucess with FLAC, but WAV at least created a file that was playable but ended too early :(
Edit 2:
Fixed by reinstalling srcdemo again, thanks for the help!

Same problem here, just ended too early every time since a few months. I've been using FLAC since, as I wasn't really able to fix it quickly and that works fine for me.
If you can't open FLAC in vdub / editing software, use foobar to convert it back to a WAV file.

Does ScrDemo2 work in Win8? I haven't been able to get it working at all.

I just tried outputting the audio to FLAC, but I can't seem to locate where the actual file is. Is the .flac file supposed to be somewhere other than the folder specified for final frames to be saved? I searched my whole PC for the file name and got nothing.

Windows 8.1 has worked fine for me as far as video goes, I guess the audio issues could be caused by it though.

No, supposed to be in the same location as the frames.. Make sure you hit "deactivate" when you're done recording.
