Problem using WinAVI to convert AVI to MPEG?

Question

I have performed this task numerous times before. But recently I reinstalled Windows and since then, when I try converting AVI to MPEG, the resulting file just has white noise (hissing and crackling) throughout instead of the soundtrack. Anyone know why? Thanks

Answer 1

Dont get a codecs, just download VLC player that'll play AVI Files.

If u Try to play your movies through WMP or WINAMP, U will be destined to get a codec to play the files. VLC is just the best for movies of any format.

Answer 2

Does the file your trying to convert play in Windows Media Player if not winavi wont convert it properly or at all. Therefore install http://www.realalternative.com this will allow you to play 99.99% of files in wmp and therefore convert it to your satisfaction. Hope this works for you. It did me.
