So, my crappy dvd player doesn't accept avi, so I converted the movie to mpeg. Right, picture came out just fine, but the sound was missing.
The audio codec on the burned dvd as well as the backup file on my harddrive is mpeg layer 3, so I suppose my dvd player loathes that particular codec with a burning passion.
The player is a Philips DVP520, if that's any help. I've read the instruction manual from cover to cover, but as far as I can see (which admittedly may not be very far, seeing as I'm a newbie at all this) there is no mention of any supported sound codecs.
It'd be such a hassle to start from scratch, so I'm hoping against hope that any of you computer wizards out there know of some program or voodoo that can convert to the audio demanded (my best guess would be MP3 or some such nonsense) by my stupid and ugly dvd player (either to the burned disc or the film copy on my harddrive) faster than you can say ... a word of some sort - though I guess that'd be pressing it a bit.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Hi klobb,
Welcome to the forums.
The DVD specification dictates that WAV, AC3 and (in PAL Land) MP2 are the only acceptable audio formats - hence why, even though you've an MPEG file it has MP3 audio in and so why you can't hear it.
It is do-able after you've authored the DVD to change the audio, but it is involved... If you're new to all this, you find you'll be quicker doing it from scratch.There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.
Carpe diem.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room. -

Thanks, guys, though I couldn't in good conscience say that the ensuing process was without its ... ahh ... kinks, shall we say? (Or, more to the point: shrieking outbursts of frustration and pathetic attempts at violence.) No aspersions intended, of course - as always, we can chalk it all up to my feeble understanding of all things even remotely technological.
