I transferred some home videos recorded from my DV cam to my hard drive using the Windows movie maker. Upon completion the .avi file weighed at a hefty 13 GB. I shrank it down to approx. 1.5 GB using a program called Ashampoo. Now whenever I try to convert the .avi to dvd/vcd/svcd using Nero Express 5, I am unable to hear any sound. The video quality is excellent but there is no audio. Is it because the file has been shrunk, or am I doing something wrong? What are my options? Thanks for your time and I appreciate any help.

Don't know what Ashampoo is but, next time, convert the DV AVI file directly. I'm guessing it probably added compression and/or decreased the bitrate. DV AVI isn't that clean a source to start with. After that, it's probably worse.

And, don't use Nero Express to encode. Use something better such as TMPGEnc.

What do you mean by converting the AVI directly? Also I've used TMPGEnc and it split the file in 2 pieces. One is a 3.1 GB ".m2v" file and the other is 625 MB ".wav" file. Now how do I get that to a DVD? What program is the most convenient being that I am a relative amatuer when it comes to converting video? Thanks again for the help!

Hi,
Maybe you can try the software named WinAVI video Converter http://www.winavi.com/video-converter.htm.
