I'm assuming that with roxio toast (titanium version 8) uses codecs that quiktime does therefore this question is for you quicktime experts, please help.so i have some avi files that will not play with sound in quicktime, but with divx player and VLC it player perfectly fine. I'm trying to encode the files onto a dvd to play on my dvd player but when i do, there is no sound.

1. Codec For Divx

Codec For Divx

I've installed a bunch of component (codecs) to my quicktime library but i still cant get it to play with sound in quicktime.i'm assuming that toast uses the codecs in quicktime to read the files and re-encode them.the files are an entire series, so there's quite a few files so i really wouldnt want to convert it and recode with another codec.does anyone have any idea for what i should do? It seems that divx plays it fine but why doesnt divx decode in quicktime?any suggestions would be great, thanks. Thanks kirk for your reply, i can convert it to a dv file, but my problem is that i do not want to convert it, i have about 300 avi files that i'll be spreading onto a very large amount of dvds, do you know of anyway i can get the quicktime to use the codec properly?i mean i've just converted an episode and it took about 15 minutes and that amounts up to alot of time when there are 300 avi files and then after that transcoding it to vob for dvd will sure kill alot of time.any other suggestions? So i checked the movie and its encoded in DivX 6.0'DivX 6.0, 512 x 384, Millions'ms ', Stereo, 48.000 kHz'but if i look at the info in VLC it says the video's audio is encoded in 'a52' (stream 1) and 'mpega' (stream 2-4)i've tried to download a couple of codecs and installed them to the quicktime library but i still cannot get audio in quicktime for some reason, i'm also still getting that error where quicktime takes you to the 'quicktime components' page. Any other ideas?once again thanks for your posts. Oddly enough i opened the files on a PC with windows media player and it turns out that the video file itself has three audio trax, it seems that the encoder decided to put the comintaries in every episode of that season.thanks for the link to the a52 codec, but i already have it installed on my mac and it hasn't solved the problem.i've also opened up the movie file on my mac's divx player and i can switch between audio tracks.

This brings up a whole new issue, do you have any other suggestions kirk?as always thanks for your replies. Oddly enough i opened the files on a PC with windows media player and it turns out that the video file itself has three audio trax, it seems that the encoder decided to put the comintaries in every episode of that season.Windows Media Player 10 on the PC I'd bet. WMVA is not compatible with Mac's older WMP 9 players/components.WMVAWMVA was the original implementation of WMV Advanced Profile prior to the acceptance of the VC-1 draft by SMPTE. The codec was distributed with Windows Media Player 10 and Windows Media Format SDK 9.5 install packages.

There are slight bitstream differences between WMVA and WVC1, so consequently WMVA is handled by a different DirectShow decoder than WVC1. Some 3rd party hardware and software decoders only decode WMVA based content. As of 2006, WMVA is considered a deprecated codec because it is not fully VC-1 compliant. Thank you for the info jon.so i've decided to convert my avi files to mpeg since after checking, only season three needs to be re-encoded. I did a test run and converted one of my avis to an mpeg and it worked fine.

It encoded all the audio tracks, i'm using xilisoft's avitompeg, is there a way i can convert the episodes and have it only encode one of the audio tracks embedded in the file? (ie the regular audio w/o the commentary)eagerly waiting replies.thanks for everyone who's taken the time to read this thread and thanks for kirk and jon for posting. Thanks kirk and jon for your replies which lead me to my own conclusion to the problem.i've done alot of dvd aurthoring on the PC quite alot before, you can sorta say i'm a switcher (but not really).

Anyways, i've completely forgotten about the opensource editor VOBSUB, once i remembered about the program, i ran it in parallels and took the avi files turned off the 4-6 other audio tracks, re-saved the avi file (stream mode to maintain file size) and then used another program called avitompeg and converted the files (now with only a single audio tack) to mpeg and now my quicktime reads the file perfectly fine.it waz a pretty confusing journey, buh i made it =Pthanks guys for all your help.
