can someone point to the solution for this?

the movie file is spot on but no sound.i've tried all different methods through tmpeg plus. i.e ntsc,ntsc film,pal .etc etc

still no sound

what am i doing wrong?

Perhaps try installing the Nimo codec pack. I'm sorry, I don't know the site, but I'm sure someone here will, or you can search for it.

i already have the nimo codec installed
but still no sound

I assume that it has audio before you convert?? What audio format does the AVI use?? You can use something like GSpot to tell you. You can download GSpot from doom9.

the movies have mp3 audio
