Maybe using a diffrent software/program. The video is a avi file and agian, i have a srt file with it, but thats all. Thanks for the help!

    If you have an .avi file and an .srt subtitle file and you want to make a DVD, there are different ways to do it. The general idea is to encode your .avi file to mpeg2 standards for the DVD, convert your .srt to .sup, then remux them all together to burn to a DVD.

    There are lots of different software you could use to do these steps, so I'll just suggest one way that I've used.

    Load your .avi file into TMPGEnc Plus to encode it to mpeg2. TMPGEnc Plus will create an .m2v video file and a .wav audio file. Next, you want to convert your text .srt subtitle file into a bitmapped .sup file. Use txt2sup. Load your .srt file. Click "I don't have IFO". Then select "Generate Sup". Finally, you want to mux them all together for the final DVD. Use Muxman. Load your .m2v video, your .wav audio and your .sup subtitle file. Muxman will create the DVD files which you can burn with Nero.

    Here is a guide which uses different software and steps but it's the same idea:

    TMPGEnc Plus said it couldn't load the .avi file? In TMPGEnc, Video Source, browse to your .avi file. Audio source, browse to your .avi file. In the upper left corner click Start. What exactly does TMPGEnc say?

    Dude, Relax. Don't expect a 10 minute response time to every question you have. People have lives and such...

    Here's a good guide for converting .avi to .mpeg.
    http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=56454

    If you are getting an error trying to load your .avi file in TMPGEnc Plus, it says something like "unsupported", it's probably a codec problem. That is, you don't have the codec installed on your PC for the particular .avi file you are trying to encode to mpeg2. Try to load the .avi file in Virtualdubmod to see what error you receive. It will tell you what codec you are missing. Then download that codec and install it on your PC and everything should be fine.

    http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/

    For example, if Virtualdubmod says you are missing the xvid codec, then download the xvid codec:

    http://www.digital-digest.com/software/download.php?sid=1052&ssid=0&did=3

    After you install the codec see if your .avi file loads in Virtualdubmod. If yes, then you should be all set to encode it to mpeg with TMPGEnc Plus.

    Good luck, be patient and progress will come :)

    Ok, you've got a problem with the audio, but you'd need to be more specific as to exactly what step in the process you're having the audio problem.

    For example, after you load your .avi file into TMPGEnc Plus is TMPGEnc able to demux the .avi file? If you then try to play just the demuxed audio file is it OK? Does the audio problem then occur after you remux your files back together?
