Load the file into VirtualDub
From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"
Post (here) EVERYTHING listed in the information box - or post a JPEG screen capture of the information box...

you're missing the ac3 codec

why did you not just followed, what was proposed above?
i.e. installing tsunami!

i did install Tsunami-Filter-Pack, can u please tell me .. what player i shud use to play my above mentioned file and how will the components in this pack integrate with my player

[UncasMS]

any player should do the job like e.g. windows media player 6.4, bsplayer, powerdivx, zoomplayer or media player classic

only wmp7/8 should not be used!

tsunamis filterpack has been thoroughly tested and you should install it via *custom* routine with all default settings.

in case you havent installed the pack this way, repeat the installation.

if you did, maybe using a different ac3 filter from within the filterpack might help.

uncheck the intervideo audio ac3 codec and try ac3 filter 052.

i'm attaching a jpg file .. i guess the audio encoding in the file is incorrect, maybe thats why the sound won't play ..is there any way i can correct this ??

[UncasMS]

could you load your file into GSPOT and post the results?
(gspot is in the tsunami folder)

did you try an alternative ac3 filter while disabling/unchecking the intervideo version?
