I downloaded an avi file from the net. It plays well with both video and audio on my media player. I would like to creata a VCD out of the file. I used the Share/Create Disk option. I managed to burn the video to the disk on VCD format but get no audio. I can play the disk on my regular DVD player just no audio.
Any suggestion?

Here's my response from another post here:
You don't mention which VS version you have, but I also noticed this problem with VS 6. The solution I'll give you is a little bit of a pain-in-the-a** to do, since VS doesn't recognize all codecs installed on your system. Example: On my system, running XP with WMP 10, I loaded all current codecs, including ones for AVI support (including DIVX), and all my vidz play in WMP, but not in VS. BUT ..... I have the Dazzle MovieStar editor, which came with my capturer, and I had that BEFORE I got VS, and guess what ...... it supports all those formats. Hmmm, funny or what???
Solution: Go to videohelp.com, click on TOOLS on left, enter TMPEG in the search box at top, it will bring up TMPEG Encoder. It's a little, small program that you can run almost anything through and convert to MPEG-1 or 2. What you'll basically do is render the video, then be able to use it in VS. A free version will allow you to do MPEG-1 only, where the "pay" version allows you to do MPEG-2.
You can also use TMPEG to convert WMV files to MPEG so you can use them in VS. For a little program, it does quite a lot.
Don't bother trying the Windows Movie Maker to do this -- it takes TOO LONG, plus you'll have to convert to a WMV file, then use TMPEG anyway to convert to MPEG.
