Chickenman, I used your tutorial to convert an avi file of Lord Of the Rings to mpg using TMPGEnc and for some reason the resulting mpg has no sound. I tried a few times too. One thing I did notice was that it was a PAL file but it would play the video so that seems ok. And the original avi playes ok as well. What can I do to get the mpg to have both the audio and Video? Thanks.....
