no sound. please help!

[Passaro]

my avi file doesnt have sound. I'm not familiar with xvid codec so i dont know where to look. i try to play it from win media player. I downloaded and installed xvid codec.

The XviD codec affects ONLY video, not audio.

1) Load the original video file into VirtualDub (or one of its many variants) or NanDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (BOTH video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

"i try to play it from win media player."

It’s quite possible that the audio stream in the XviD is mp3. If this is the case, check to see if you have a suitable mp3 codec installed on your machine.

In light of the fact that it's an XviD- format video, I'll "bet you a nickel" the audio's in .AC3 format ;>}

Yes AC3 did a job. It's fine now. However it's too quiet. Is there any chance of making it louder?

Congratulations on resolving your dilemma!

@Passaro - transcode it with BeSweet. This allows you to boost your audio levels (and lots of other things). As well as the BeSweet engine, get either the BeSweet or BeLight GUI interface.

See this FAQ.
