I've been using a script called "avitovob" which, in its travels, pulls apart the avi files into sound (ac3) and video (m2v) then pushes them back together into a mp2 You can find the script at: http://inferno.slug.org/cgi-bin/wiki?AviToVob copyright 2004 Phil Ehrens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It requires transcode, mplayer, sox, toolame A couple of minor mods makes it not delete the intermediary files if you want them - but the final mpg file does load. If nothing else, it is a good view of how to do this so you can make your own. richard > >> > > > > You have to tell us which video and audio codecs those avi files > > contain, otherwise we can just say "yes, it is possible". > > > > > >> I have begun to explore how to create .mov file > >> from .png images, and have successfully created an .avi movie using .png > >> images and .ogg sound file.
