It probably needs to have the audio re-encoded for a supported codec? Check what audio codec the files uses and make sure it's supported on the wiz.

How do i check the audio codec? The file is in AVI format if that helps any.

AVI is just a container so it doesn't really tell us anything about the video or audio codecs used within.

So how do i open it to view the audio codecs? Do i need a special program?

on windows you could press alt-enter on the file to see its properties. if the system knows the codec used within the AVI it will tell you about. otherwise you could just use some third party program - a quick search gave me http://avicodec.duby.info/ - never tried, just googled.

If you're using a Windows PC, you can use GSpot:

Just drag the AVI onto GSPot and you can see which codecs have been used for audio and video; it will also tell you if the codecs are installed on the local machine.
