Loosing Entire Audio / Music when using slo motion clips in AVI ou

[Guest]

I am trying to make a Youth Sports highlight music video.

If I try to export to DV-Tape or any AVI based file, I loose the entire
Audio / Music part ONLY during the slow motion parts.
Audio is fine any other time. I need the AVI based file to be able to burn a
DVD.
WMV versions run fine.

I have captured the clips from my sony TVR740 thru sony DV-Motion via (1394)
on a VAIO desktop. The clips I am having problems with contain parts of it
in Slow Motion. (I play the cam corder tape in slow motion, and have DV
motion capture it that way.)
I then import the clip, (the video clip's audio naturally mutes when in the
slo motion parts.) ( I have also tried to Mute the Video sound track without
any improvement)
I have imported a MP.3 music file for the Audio/ Music track. (Have tried
replacing with a Wav file without any Improvement)

Playback on the PC (preview) or to a WMV is fine.

Surely someone else out there captures clips in Slo Motion.
Help!!
Thanks,

I'd use the software to make the slow motion effect, capturing it all in
real time.

Hello Graham,
Thanks for the response, but I'm looking for a work around since I just
completed a Sports Music Video with 60 % of the clips having some slow motion
in it. Just my luck that my old analog system allowed this, but the new fancy
Digital one doesn't.

Is the audio you are losing part of the captured clip? Or seperate audio
added after? If the later, make an avi without audio and then add the new
avi to the timeline and add audio. If the former, I think it is recapture
I'm afraid, or try some trial software from other manufacturers and see if
any accept it. See Ulead/pinnacle/adobe/sony etc.

The audio is being lost on the separate Audio / music track. I've tried to
save the Video part as a continous AVI with the sound muted, then start a new
file and import it as a clip, then add the audio, but that didn't help
either. My best guess is the video signal must carry a blanking signal to
the audio (intended for the slow motion coming out of the camcorder) that
can't be stripped out. My best guess mind you. Are the Codecs different for
making AVI vs WMV? I haven't messed with that yet. Any thought's?

FYI- i also have Adobe Premier 6.0 (but found WMM easier to use for a
beginner in digital video) and it is having the same problem. The only good
thing there is it does show up in the preview window, vs WMM only having the
problem on AVI output.

Hello,
I was able to fix the problem by using Adobe Premiere, impoting the clip,
UnLink the video & Audio tracks (Not available in WMM?) then delete the audio
part, and re-save as a AVI. How much touble is it to add a "Unlink video &
Audio" Feature in WMM?
