movie clips mpg viewed in vcd player

What can I say? WMV is a proprietary Windows format, M$ doesn't want you to convert it to anything else, VirtualDub has been asked (forced) by MS to drop support for WVM... Live with that. You'll be fine without doing WMV to VCD (or anything else) conversions.

...but lost 1/7th of disc space... If the source is anything but mpg, you still have to encode, and no matter what, you still have to burn it to disc. What you won't have to do is authoring, but without that, you can't have menus and stuff.

Hi mats.hogberg,
Ok fine, since M$ doesnt want us to convert the wmv file then just forget it. But...one of my mpg files coverted to avi also got NO sound, the rest were Ok. Pls adv. thanks.

I guess you mean the other way around? In that case, an AVI can contain audio in many different shapes and shades. TMPGEnc handles many but not all kinds. It's a good practice to demux the audio in the AVI to wav with VirtualDub, and use this wav as audio source, original AVI as video source when encoding with TMPGEnc. There are many guides that cover how to extract AVI audio to wav.
Another (and even simpler) way to achieve this, is to load the AVI in GoldWave, the just save wav.
