  • Lost audio converting from AVI to WMV in squeeze 5

    Posted by Christopher Loehrer on April 22, 2008 at 8:15 pm

    Hello fine people.
    I am demo-ing Squeeze 5. And i am getting inconsistant results.

    I successfully converted an AVI to WMV earlier today.

    But in trying to convert another AVI to WMV i lost the audio on that file.

    both files are out from AFX with same settings.

    I have been playing with the spec’s in squeeze to be sure that i have everything turned on and running at the correct rate. After trying to reboot and run conversion again still no dice.

    I am using default setting >>>
    Windows Midea – PowerPoint Large frame.

    is there a bug or a setting that i am missing?
    has anyone else had this issue?

    and why for the LOG does “ffdshow” icons keep popping up in my system tray?

    is this related to audio issue?

    Does the PowerPoint preset have audio turned on in the advanced settings?

    Can you confirm the .avi has audio by playing it in Windows Media Player?

    YES

    YES – it does.

    I did a reboot and went right to Squeeze and ran the file again… it worked this time but the question still remains. Why the inconsistant results? and “ffdshow” comes up 3 times in the system tray.

    Sounds like it could be a ffdshow issue!

    ffdshow is great in theory, but can be probelmatic in my experience.
