Thats likely because you used the wrong setting in avidemux. It takes some practise (trial/error) to get used to the correct settings.
Hi
The kvm via YaST is a kernel virtual machine, you need to download from
the link gropiuskalle posted, unzip and run the install as root user. I
provides a plugin for konqueror (3.x).
Ok, so I converted a wmv file to the same video and audio codec you
posted. Then using the following command, it converted ok video and
sound;
ffmpeg -i your_input_filename.avi -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec
mp2 your_output_filename.mpg
Remember to replace the filenames with your own 
Here is the output from my conversion;

Please do not try installing the supereasy context-menu which can be found » here «, for it might give you a converted file without any hassle. We don’t want that to happen, do we?
LOL, I agree
@foresthill
What happens if you just use the original audio codec instead of mp2 eg;
ffmpeg -i MVI_3967.AVI -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec pcm_u8 my_movie.mpg

Malcolm I tried the new command. Video was encoded but still no sound.
I also installed the front-end program successfully but no changes as a result of that either.
For example, selecting DVD (mpeg2enc) and Format MPEG-TS(A&V) works for me with avidemux.
Avidemux crashes whenever I use the settings described by OldCPU combined with any audio setting other than “copy”. The two LPCM audio settings get me static only.
If the setting for Audio is set to “copy” I get no audio at all. :X
Hi
What happens is you try to convert it to another format that works and
then try to convert that to your desired output format?
If you run the following command and have a look at all the formats
available…
ffmpeg -formats

I’ve only seen this happen when the video you are using to start with is a corrupted format.
Have you tried other videos?
I have two AVI clips I want to put on a DVD for use in court. The same thing happens with each clip when I try to convert them. I found another copy of the clips on other media and they also fail.
I found two different Windows programs that will convert the clips fine, with audio intact. But these are both crippled trial versions. So I really think the clips are uncorrupted.
Hi
I you run the original clip in mplayer from the CLI, they work ok? If
so,can you paste the output especially between the === characters

Hi
Seems you may not be the only one Google on “ffmpeg”+“CanonMVI02”
Can you try converting it to xvid and mp3?
Can you take a short video with the camera a car driving by or
something with audio and post it somewhere for me to download?

HTH, and thanks to everyone, especially Malcolm and OldCPU for all the help on this.
Sorry to wake an old thread, but there is a very simple solution here. I do this all the time with ffmpeg. In fact, that’s what I was doing this morning when I stumbled across this thread.
The key to your last problem is in the line
[mp2 @ 0x808c0b0]Sampling rate 11024 is not allowed in mp2
ffmpeg uses the mp2 sound codec by default, and also assumes you want to use the same sampling rate and bitrate as the source video. However, the source has a sampling rate of 11024 which is not allowed in mp2 as stated. Here’s the fix:
ffmpeg -i source.avi -sameq -vcodec mpeg2video -ar 22050 dest.mpg
That sets the audo sampling rate to 22050 which is allowed in mp2. Also, the -sameq option forces the video quality to be roughly the same in the destination as it is in the source.
Hope you haven’t wasted your money yet.
I missed the part about your wanting to put the video on DVD. It’s just as easy to create DVD-compatible video with ffmpeg. Try
ffmpeg -i source.avi -target ntsc-dvd -aspect 4:3 -ab 256k dest.vob
if you want to be able to do the conversions in Linux in the future. Hope that helps anyone who doesn’t have access to Windows (like me).
