Do a search for avi to dvd. Then scroll down to need help burning avi's to disc. If that is not what you need, I'm sure you will find the answer in one of the post.

what do you mean exactly?

@mixa

make sure directshow is raised, follow installation instructions from the ac3acm link (right click .inf file). once complete, you will see "AC3ACM.acm" in c:/windows/system32 folder and in the "add/remove program list.

btw mixa if you are dealing with a file that has ac3 sound, use this method to convert to wav if you prefer.

Thanks for your help LT. I only have one more question to ask! The step when I correct the audio sync with tmpgenc. I can see the video but I cant hear the sound, how can I correct it? Thanks again.

what you have have to do is let it encode a portion. enought to assess. you can pick a part in the middle using source range, or just start it and let it go enough untill there is dialogue or something. then hit "abort". playback the file TMPGEnc made. now you have to listen to it and determine whether there is a sync gap, and if so if it's early or late and how much and add the correct value. this may take a few tries being your first time using it.
