Usually this is solved by downloading and installing the Perian codec found at www.perian.org .

I am having the same issue. I have several avi files and they all convert via toast 9 fine but I get no audio. I have the perin codecs installed and the lame codes. I am running OS 10.5. I cannot determine what I am doing wrong.

 

Any other thoughts out there????

Can you play the .avi in QuickTime Player??

You could use ffmpeg X or VideoSpec to try and determine what has been used to encode the audio of your file. Once you figured it out, you might find a proper codec allowing you to play it (and allowing Toast to convert it to MPEG-2 for your DVD).

 

I suspect it might be some format of WMA that Perian doesn't support. If it is the case, you can probably use the Flip4Mac VMW codecs (the free version allows you to play WMV and WMA, but only the paid version will let you transcode to a different format — you might need to buy the paid version to make your DVD).
