Missing Audio Codec

[TechBoyJK]

I have some videos for a presentation that I was working on.

I've had them for a while, had ripped them from vhs to PC using an older Pinnacle video editor.

I've never had an issue with the audio.

I recently reinstalled Windows XP on my laptop, and now the vids play, but there is no audio.

I have no idea what audio codec these use. How can I figure this out??

This is the only codec pack you'll ever need 😀.

if your looking for actual info on what the codec is then try mediainfo. Just download it and open the file in MI and it will show you the audio and video codecs and all the info. Then you can either grba the specific codec or do the ffdshow route

Gspot makes it pretty easy to identify anything about a video file.

Usually the audio codec that I needed was ac3filter. Just a guess. If you want to for sure know which ones it uses do what the above posts say.
