No audio after encoding

[fmctm1sw]

I had a AVI movie with good audio but when encoded, there is no sound. I've noticed it now with several of my movies on PC. I am also beginning to believe it is all the movies I encoded with 2 pass VBR. I used max at 2520, avg 1800 or 1900 (can't remember), and 800 or 1000 minimum (no autopadding). TMPGENC will also not open this particular movie either (format not supported). Is it a problem with WMP not liking the VBR movies or the way I encoded it? Will I be risking a coaster (me=cheap ) if I burn it to watch on TV (my ultimate goal anyway).

Did you try convert the avi audio to wav and used it as audio source in tmpgenc?
Did you try change the directshowpriority(file unsupported)?

Thanks Baldrick, the actual playback problem was no audio decompressor was being used during the playback. I clicked on the name of the file when it was playing in WMP (upper right hand corner) and clicked "properties." Where it said "audio decompressor" (or someting like that), there was nothing there. I had to reinstall my PowerDVD since it uses that as the audio (and video) decompressor. I havn't gotten back to the "invalid format" thing but I did have to tweak them recently when the "checking field order" freaked out.

you got something fun here.... you need the ac3 decoder...... if your computer can't decode the ac3 stream.... it can't reincode the audio
