I have some .avi files I want to convert to a DVD.
When I import them MovieFactory and check the proferties of the imported files the audio codec (AC3 etc) is listed properly.
That's about it audio-wise. Whatever I try I can't get audio in the resulting video.
The workaround is use a 3rd party tool to convert the .avi to .mpg
Not the ideal way to handle things.....
Is there a way to let MovieFactory handle audio?
A setting? A codec? Or some sort of upgrade pack for MovieFactory?
MovieFactory 6+ no audio

Welcome to the forums,
Where did the source files (avi) originate, camcorder, internet or some other? What is the properties of the *.avi file? AVI is a wrapper or container, that will hold many types of video CODECs or formats, such as Microsoft AVI, which is uncompressed and takes about 65 gig per hour of video, DV-slightly compressed, yields about 13 gig per hour of video, DivX and Xvid are both highly compressed, MOV, or even mpeg-4, both highly compressed.
Generally with DV the audio used is LPCM or PCM, the others will use MPEG audio Layer 2 or Dolby Digital. If it is Dolby, are you using the Trial (TBYB) version of DMF6? They do not include Dolby due to licensing.
With a video clip on the time-line, right-click and select Media Clip Properties, and post that information back here.
