Help! No Sound!

[trunterzx]

When I first started using AGK, it worked fine for me. But then subsequent times when I tried to use it to convert VOB files to AVI files, there was no sound in the resulting file! I tried it many times but there still wasn't any sound, and I can't find what is the problem. I didn't change the settings or anything. Can anyone help?

Please, Please :logfile:

If you post your logfile people will be able to see what is going on, otherwise we have to guess, and I am not very good at guessing. :)

Cheers!

Is this the log file you are referring to? I only did a preview of the output file, as I know it will take very long if I were really to convert it. Does it help? Can you find out what is the problem?

>> I only did a preview of the output file,

Previews don't include audio.

From the AutoGK Tutorial html file

"If you have elected to include subtitles, it will also display them, but it won't play any audio."

Hmm, now it seems that output file has sound. It really didn't work for me the last time I converted it. Anyway, thanks for the help.
