    I've bought a Pinnacle ShowCentre 200, which only has a limited number of codecs it can handle. How can I change the codec on an AVI? On most, I get a picture, but no sound.

    Hmmm, no edit button that I can see.

    I prolly should have said what codecs it does support, so you don't have to look up what the hell a ShowCentre 200 is.

    MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-2 VOB, MPEG-4 AVI, XviD, WMV9

    You haven't listed what audio it supports. Because if it is the video that works, it is the audio that needs changing.

    I would think that it supports mp3 audio. Perhaps the files that don't work use AC3 or aac?

    mencoder.exe -ovc copy -oac mp3lame input.avi -o output.avi to convert to mp3 audio.

    -oac PCM for pcm audio.

    edit: There is an edit button.

    edit2: I believe it uses the Sigma EM8620L chipset so it should playback AC3 and aac fine.
