Hi, I've just started using DVDtoAVI to convert VOB files to the best quality avi that i can, but when i play back the AVI file that i've created it has no sound at all. I've tried changing settings but still no luck. Please can anyone give some advice? Even if it means using a different program.

No surprise. DVD2AVI doesn't include the sound in your AVI. At the most, once you select the audio track you want to keep, it can demux the AC3 stream
[or convert it to WAV].
If you have your 'mute' AVI, load th VOB set with ReJig. Go to File Mode, load the VOB set, [check the 'correct AC3 delay'] and demux the AC3 stream you want to keep.
After that, open VirtualDubMod. Load the 'mute' AVI. Set Video___Ditect Stream Copy. Go to Stream___Stream List.
Load the AC3 stream , then press [OK] and Save (F7).

If you doen't an AC3 filter installed on your PC and you want to play it on your PC, you can convert AC3 into an at least 128 kbps MP3 *CBR* stream before adding it in VirtualDubMod (convert into MP3 CBR, e.g. using HeadAC3he in the MP3 'alt preset' mode). The audio won't be surround, but the movie will be smaller (Dolby Surround - AC3 - is usually kept at 384 kbps).

Our tutorials to make DVD -> AVI doen't speak of DVD2AVI to do so. It speaks of VirtualDub + plugin for D2V files +a trick to make a 'false WAV' +load the WAV with VirtualDub.

I usually use VirtualDubMod + an AVISynth scrypt, to do so. If you want to learn to use it, it is a very fine program.
AVISynth will be used a frameserver to lead VirtualDub(Mod) to load DVD2AVIdg D2V files (Please note: I use DVD2AVIdg.exe instead of DVD2AVI because it corrects some DVD2AVI bug).

You just have to install AVISynth, copy the proper plugin (MPEGDEC3DG.DLL) in \AviSynth\plugins directory.
Write a scrypt (TXT file) named LoadD2V.avs written:

MPEG2Dec3dg_mpeg2source("C:\your_directory\movie.d2v") #movie.avs is the name of the d2v file you just made
AddAudio()
ConvertToYUY2()

Note: the MPEGDEC3dg plugin is a DLL which usually comes toghether the DVD2AVIdg distribution package.
Unce you do so, all your applications (VirtualDub, VirtualDubMod, any encoder) can load AVS files (and therefore LoadD2V.avs).

Thanks for your reply, but Jesus" that lot is way to complicated for what i was expecting. I think I'm gonna try another piece of software that does it all together if there is such a thing.

You should both really update to dgindex/dgdecode.

DVD's are YV12, no point in converting to YUY2 most of the time. MPEG-4, etc. are all also YV12.
