ScottGray 0 #1 July 8, 2009 I searched the forum, but did not find this specific issue. Before I start an indepth step-by-step break down to ID the source of my issue, thought I would ask if anyone had exprienced this before. Camera: CX-7 File Converter: Sony Motion Picture Utility Target File Type: MPEG-2 (which is the only option with this file converter) Player: Windows Media Player 10 Once I move the HD files from the camera to my laptop, I use the Sony Motion Picture Utility to convert the HD raw file to MPEG-2 in order to edit in Sony Vagas. File conversion completes, click on the new file, Windows Media Player starts but no sound plays. Import to Sony Vagas, no sound included. Thoughts: Could be a converter issue (software bug). Could be a windows media player issue (software bug). - will also try other media players over the next few days to confirm or eliminate this. Since no sound in Vagas, likely this is not the source of the issue. I have tried several other HD file converters, but most leave the resulting video in poor quality (frame drop, jerky play back). Happy to try others based upon recommendation.WSI-5 / PFI-51 / EGI-112 / S-Fly The Brothers Gray Wing Suit Academy Contact us for first flight and basic flocking courses at your DZ or boogie. www.thebrothersgray.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may not have an AC3 decoder that works, and SMPU is *very* well known to have problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottGray 0 #3 July 8, 2009 As I expected. I have not found a decoder / converter that I have been happy with. Recommendation? Glad to have you back in the mix. Sorry I could not make it to boogie this weekend.
