Re: No sound on MPEG2

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Thank you for all your help. I can't believe it is this difficult. I used to
have a Canon MiniDV an it generated AVI just fine. When it broke (a few
months ago) I decided (without knowing) that HD camcorder were going to be
the way to go. I was wrong.

I will give BeSweet a try.

DO you know of any other HD camcorder that produces AVI or MPEG2 100%
compatible with WinXP and Movie Maker?

Finally, why is it that Media Player can reproduce the video (and audio)
just fine but can't be imported with Movie Maker...

The audio stream is Dolby AC-3.... which is why audio issues are often
encountered with a conversion utility. I usually convert it with BeSweet
to a WAV file and then put the audio file together with the video file in
Movie Maker.... and use VDubMod to convert the video stream.

You might have an option in the camcorder to record in uncompressed or
MPEG audio... with it defaulting to Dolby....

Absolutely. How would you like me to send it to you? E-Mail, Download,
etc.

Thank you very much!

I have a support session with someone tonight to help him get his HD
camcorder files into Movie Maker, so I'd be very interested in a
short
clip
of such a file... less than 10 MB... more if one would want to use
Windows
Messenger to transfer one to me. Be glad to do the conversion to
verify
the
process.

Thank you. I will give that a try. I was hoping that this process
was
going
to be a lot easier. This is why I bought a HD camcorder, to
simplify
things.

Based on your web site (under Digital Cameras -> Sony), I need to
use
Sony's
software to convert the MPEG2 to AVI so I can use it with Movie
Maker.

I will try that today and post an update.

if the sound is Dolby AC-3 (check the file with GSpot to see)...
then
ripping the audio from the file might need the process I use when
converting
DVD files... see my website's Import Movie Source Files > Video >
Discs
page.

I have found other posts with a pointer to

http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-Importing-Video-MPEG2.html

I did try the VDubMod but it creates an AVI with no sound. I
have
not
played
with all the options yet, but if some one has any ideas, please
let
me
know

plays
both
the video and the sound, but Movie Maker just plays the video.

What do I need to do to play the sound as well?

Thanks in advance
