    I'm having a prob converting some AVI's to DVD, from what I know, the AVI movies have AAC sound encoding, I used ffdShow to be able to hear the sound and it plays nice on WMP, but I am trying to convert that to DVD but neither Nero Vison Express 3 nor Power Producer 3 is able to play the sound. Also, I have a few sound plug-ins for nero including AAC plug in (Which NVE3 has it installed by default), but none worked. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Cheers.

    Just a test: if you open the movie with VirtualDub, you set Audio__Ful Processing Mode (from the default Audio__Direct Stream Copy) and make File___Save WAV, does it create a real uncompressed .WAV file (i.e. approx 10 MB x minute large, 1200 MB .WAV file for a 2h movie?).
    If it is so, you're OK. Use it instead of the AVI duning authoring.

    Well, something's wrong. It won't open the movie, as the program replies me with an error: "Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'WMV3' (unknown)
    VirtualDub Requires a Video for Windows compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow, such as those used by WMP, are not suitable".

    The program seems to open the movie with no probs, and I noticed it kinda seperates the video from the sound... After it is done what should I do then? And by the way, I am trying to fit various episodes in one DVD 3 or 4 25 min each. I would really appreciate that you give me a brief tutorial on how to use TMPGEnc and what to do after the encoding is done.

    Thanks for your attention.

    Tried to encode a video file, but the sound output file was in "blank" (no sound), tried to install ffdshow as well, but I got the same results.
