Now I know perfectly how to encode with Camhack. I'll teach for those who want to encode this. What you need to do is make 2 videos .avi. 1 for the movie with Camhack and the other to extract the sound To encode Camhack, they must:
  • Open VBA-SADHack
  • Sounds > Check mute (this is optional)
  • Sounds > Change 22Khz for 44Khz
  • Open ROM
  • Speed > Set speed > Speed up to 300%
  • Pause emulation
  • Start Movie > Check Read-Only (If not selected, the movie will be writing, and the movie was ruined)
  • Start AVI Recording. Choose a file name (There than call: movie.avi), and choose a lossless RGB codec of your choice (see Common settings for suggestions). Click OK.
  • Unpause emulation
  • When you reach the desired end point, select Tools -> Stop Recording AVI.
  • Close VBA SADHack
After making the video without using the Camhack. See here
  • Open VBA
  • Go to Options -> Sound -> 44 KHz.
  • Open the ROM.
  • Speed up to 300% (= key)
  • Pause emulation. (Pause key)
  • Select Tools -> Movie -> Play Movie and select the movie file you want to dump to AVI.
  • Select Tools -> Start AVI Recording. Choose a file name (There than call: movie2.avi), and choose a lossless RGB codec of your choice (see Common settings for suggestions). Click OK.
  • Unpause emulation. At this point, audio and video are now being captured.
  • When you reach the desired end point, select Tools -> Stop AVI Recording.
  • Close VBA
As stated in EncodingGuide/VideoDumping When this everything perfect, you have to download the mplayer and mkvmerge (See here). They must create a command line in the directory where is the movie (without Camhack). Such as this: mplayer -ao pcm:fast:file=audio.wav -vc dummy -vo dummy movie2.avi movie 2.avi: That's the movie with Camhack When you extract the file .wav, create this command line to mkvmerge (This makes it combines the file .avi with the .wav mkvmerge movie2.avi audio.wav -o encode.mkv And ready, now can be encode with Camhack. If you have some question, problems or something, comment here or contact me on IRC

You do realize that the completely standard encoding methods are compatible with the CamHack, right? I speak from experience. Oh, this is for fixing audio. You do realize it's basically faster to extract the audio from the non-CamHacked encode using VirtualDub, right?

It is not just the fixing of audio, also, as well as encode with Camhack. And you can also extract audio from the two forms, but for me it's faster command line
