    I have been making DVDs of many shows I download in AVI format, and have come across some problems and fixes I want to share because I searched through this forum many times and have come up with some fixes, that may take a while (or not).

    Software I use:
    DVD-lab Pro ver 1.53
    TMPGenc Plus 2.5
    AVIMux ver 1.17.6
    AVI Audio Decompressor ver 1.4

    Audio Sync problems:
    I recently made a battlestar Galactica DVD and found some of the files I downloaded contained errors when they were encoded, when I tried to De-Multiplex the avi file in TMPGenc it would only do the video and would have no sound.
    I first used AVI Audio decompressor and that generated a "Could not render audio stream!".
    I then tried AVI2WAV but that only caused massive sync issues with the audio.
    so I came across a post on this forum about AVIMux, I processed the file through AVIMux and it generated a better AVI file without audio issues (almost 1mb smaller aswell), I then used AVI decompressor and it generated a decompressed AVI file (around 850 megs, from 350mb) perfectly, I then put the file into TMPGenc and allowed the AVI to split into video and audio.
    put the file into DVD-lab and it made a perfect copy of the file, played without any sync or distortion issues.

    this may seem a bit over the top but I couldnt find anyhting simpler to fix certain problems with downloaded AVI files.

    I hope this helps some people out there cause it took me a while to figure it out, if you need a more detailed instructions i'm welcome to write my step by step instructions.

    any other ideas i'm welcome to try.

    I would need to know what VirtalDubMod shows, after opning the AVI and doing:
    - File___File Information;
    - Stream__Stream List. What does it show?
