I gather from Tag2000 you need a DivX codec?

oops, mistake - AC3 codec!

i dont think i need another codecx i hav too many already, are u sure thats the problem, did u check the picture file

Yes, the "File Information" indicates that the audio was created in .AC3 format ("Unknown tag 2000"). If you already have an .AC3 codec installed and are using TMPGEnc for the conversion, do the following:

In TMPGEnc, under the "Environmental Settings" "VFAPI plugin" tab rightclick on the "Direct Show Multimedia Reader" and increase to the highest priority. This will enable TMPGEnc to accept a properly encoded .AVI with .AC3 audio for input...

"ok thanx, i knew that."

I don't understand.

If you "knew that", why did you post your, "wacky auio problem

[setarip]

"to seem as if i didnt seem foolish"

There's nothing foolish about seeking advice.
