When I copied and pasted a video that I played from laptop to playbook the video play fine but there is no sound. What am I missing?

The proper codecs.

[mickrg123]

Its is avi vid. How do you know which codecs are needed?

You may need to covert the vid. You should check out the PB supported formats and free converters. There really are a lot of threads in this so searching should get you answer pretty quickly.

I have quite a few avi videos that don't play sound on the PlayBook. That is because the audio used in the file is ac3 which will not work with the PlayBook by default. I used Handbrake (free) to convert the video to use account or other supported sound formats and it works great.

Convert to MP4. Most compatable format cross platforms.

I use the same converter I used for my PSP. Only now I can actually see what on the screen.

Gspot (not what it sounds like) will shows the codecs used in videos. Another one is MediaInfo.

chances are you are using a video with AC3 audio and the playbook doesnt support that codec yet. You will have to convert the video as suggested above.
