No audio in .avi

[Enriqueg]

Try to be brief:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Have a DVD player (Philips DVP642) where I want to see movies caught with my photographic camera (Canon A610). The camera creates .avi but for some reason is not recognized by the DVD player.
So I've downloaded VirtualDubMod and compress with XviD MPEG-4 Codec. Resulted file plays well but without sound. Then also with VirtualDubMod try various audio compressions (with Codecs: GSM 6.10; IMA ADPCM; Microsoft ADPCM) but still no sound in the DVD player.
Could you help me? I'm messing around with this issue for a while and am a little frustrated.
Thanks a lot, Enriqueg

Ok. I've tried to download several MP3 codecs to use with VirtualDubMod to convert the audio part of the .avi to MP3 but none of them appeared in the Streams==>Stream list==> (right click)==>Compression window. Could you recommend me any site to download one that I could use? Thanks a lot.

Thanks Columbo. I've downloaded BeLight but seems that output is ONLY MP3 and I need a .avi with audio part in MP3 (there is no option to select output format as .avi). Thanks again. That's why I've asked UncasMS for a MP3 codec to use with VirtualDubMod.

belight isn't limited to mp3. it's an audio processor.

Hi LT. Columbo, great help. The good news is I’ve downloaded and used Lame MP3 with VirtualDubMod, thanks!

The bad news is still no audio. What I’ve done is:

My original .avi file has audio in PCM format, and VirtualDubMod gives an error message if I try to compress from PCM to MP3. So I compressed first with another codec (i.e. GMS, or IMAADPCM, or MS ADPCM) and then took this compressed file and compress to Lame MP3. Up to this point everything seems fine.
But after burn and play in the DVD player, this is what happened: the first frame is showed, then a black screen, then 4 o 5 skipping more frames and then stopped (of course no audio). Trying some options in VirtualDubMod compression window, I quit the Interleave option and make the same test. Surprisingly this time the .avi played fine…but still without sound.
Its kind a frustrating results but I’m still trying, could you suggest me how to continue?

Thanks a lot,

Enriqueg.
