    Hi,
    I've captured some video from my camcorder to my ATI ALl in wonder card. My card automatically saves as AVI. I used nero 5.5.7.8 to make a SVCD and VCD. It looks great, but there is no audio. Right before I write the cd, I click on the "PLAY" button and there is sound in the sample window. I'm playing this on an APEX-703.

    Anyone know why I don't have any sound?

    Hey mgideon - Did the same thing as you did and have the same problem. I gave the CD that I created to my friend that just bought a new DVD player and my CD worked OK. So, it looks like we are gonna have to upgrade our DVD player. I have a Philips Magnavox 825. Can play SVCD but without sound.

    i also have the apex 703....DONT waste your money....the apex works fine...make sure you encode your avi with tmpg or?? to a vcd comliant mpeg first..then use nero to burn your disc..DO NOT use nero to encode it..only to burn..also try a different brand of discs and/or a cd-rw.

    mgideon: Your AVI probably has AC3 audio bundled into it and TMPGEnc can't encode it to VCD-compliant audio without tweaking.

    Use VirtualDub to extract the audio from the AVI and if it is in AC3 format, use AC3Dec or similiar tool to decode it to WAV and use that WAV as your audio input for TMPGEnc. If it is MP3, decode it to WAV using CDEx, WinAMP or similiar.
