sorry pinoy2201 this is the first time i have tryed to convert an avi to mpg and it didnt turn out to good. the original file was a *.avi and i wanted it to be a *.mpg so that i could burn and watch it in the dvd player, the audio source was in the movie do i have to convert it different? i used windows media player to play it back, what do you mena by multiplex the audio? and audio must be a mpeg-layer 2 audio file? is the audio in the movie not good enough? how come when the movie was done it said it was like 4 and a half hours long the first half was the movie and the second half was just blank, and the .mpg its self at the end was like almost 3 gigs???? thanks for your help pinoy2201
