    Open the .avi in virtualdub http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/virtualdub.cfm

    click video - direct stream copy and click audio - full processing mode. click audio again and click compression. select no compression pcm and click ok, now click file - save as avi. the avi saved will be much bigger than the original but tmpgenc would have more support for the uncompressed audio!

    Is the file in a shared folder for a p2p app or do you have it loaded into tmpgenc at the same time?

    hi dela again,no i'ts not in a shared folder and unless there is a hidden folder in tmpgenc it's not loaded in there either.i'm getting a little frustrated as it is a big file and i dont want to download it again as the original works fine just no audio and virtual dub wont let me do anything either.any other suggestions?i'm willing to try anything.i have cce on my pc but not sure what you use it for.will that do any thing .i dont know if any of this helps but these are the stats on the movie.

    H 272
    DURATION 1.36.38
    BIT 135KBPS

    Did you get the codecs required for this movie?? When you try to load it into VirtualDUB does it give any error??

    One thing you can try quickly with TMPGEnc is click options - environmental setting. Click the Vfapi Plug-in Tab and look for Direct Show in the list. Right click it and raise its priority until it's at the top of the list!

    Now try and see if it will encode the sound. Obviously I dont mean wait for the whole movie, you can simply click stop and some of the movie will have been encoded so you can check it for sound!

    The nimo codec pack may have the codec you need but also unfortunately may have tonnes of codecs you done need and all you are going to get is trouble!
