No Sound in iDVD???

[TheMikesmith]

First off I'm on a Mac.

I know this may be a Noob question ... but I'm very new to the whole DVD burning thing ....

Okay ... here's my problem.....

I have a .avi file (two actually) that I wish to Burn on to DVD, but it only plays with sound in VLC. In the other programs I've playd it in there is no sound (Quicktime, Divx Player, iDVD)

I don't care about it not working in QT and DviX, but I wish to burn it and there is no sound durign the preview in iDVD. Now I've read some things about a program called Burn? maybe I should try this? Does it work well with codecs? or maybe the video will encode itself fine when I burn it ...

I'm asking if anyone has any experience with this? thanks soo much in advance for any help or advice!!

VLC uses it's own codecs, so the fact that the videos play in VLC, would seem to indicate the files are fine. Most likely, your other players are missing a codec or it is corrupt.

Just try the conversion and burning with whatever software you normally use (or new software for that matter), and then burn on an -RW disc. Then if it doesn't work, you can reuse the disc.

You should also be able to get more information about which audio codec the AVI is using, in VLC.

how do I find out what codec it's using?
