Tony Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Hi all I have been transfering video from my sony digital camcorder to my second PC running win 2000.The video is being captured in AVI format, which is fine, i have already converted some of them to DVD with no problems.But i also want to keep a backup of the RAW avi file that is created when the video is captured., so i am burning them to DVD just as data (so it is just an .avi file on the DVD) this is fine, but when i put the burnt disk into my XP machine, i get NO sound when i play the video back, i have tried win meadia player, plus a few others but all the same result.I put the burnt disk back into the win 2000 system and the sound is there, so i am guessing that it is some sort of codec problem on my xp system, but how do i find out what one it needs? the xp system has loads of codecs installed already, and this is the first video i have had this result with.Any ideas what the problem is?CheersTony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Gspot will identify the missing codec for you, TonyThe codec may also be available from the same site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hi markThis is what G-spot tells me it looks like it can't find the audio streamAnd after asking it to render the file this is what pops upDo you understand it cos i don't :unsure: The sound is on the burnt DVD cos when i put it back in the win 2000 system it worksCheersTony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted November 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hi MarkI downloaded the K.lite mega codec pack and all is fine now, i did have the "All in One codec pack" installed already, but looks like it had a few missing.ThanksTony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
