No sound with video (avi file)?

I transferred some movies from my laptop to the PB earlier; one avi file showed up without audio. I deleted it and tried again, but got the same result.

I've checked the file on my laptop and it has audio; the other files I transferred to the PB all have audio as well. Any ideas what may have happened?

Chances are the audio is encoded in AC3. You can use a free converter called "Any Video Converter". Set all the video stuff to either "Auto" or "Original" and for the audio, select "MP3". The program is pretty straight forward and as well as turn Audio Sync to "Basic"

a lot of Avi files have AC3 audio, and Playbook cant play it, you need to convert the film to have MP3 audio

Download Converterlite, add the movies with no sound, convert to iPad2, wait...... Put on Playbook, ENJOY!
