I am trying to find a way to convert my camcorder avi to wav so I can sync up my audio with the video audio. I was able to use Adobe Audition in the past but I can't get that to work so I am doing Samplitude for audio. I know that Samplitude can also do video (or at least convert the avi to wav) but it crashes every time I try to do it. I have tried virtualdub and it did work for one of my avi's, but not for the one I am working on now.
I have also tried avi2wav and MediaCoder. Avi2wav was able to open the avi, but when I hit the "extract sound into wav" button, I had a pop up that said "No audio chunks found in AVI!" MediaCoder worked until the very end of the avi but then failed. The last program I tried to do was Audacity. It was able to open the avi and grab the raw wav data, but it (like everything else so far :P) didn't work right. The wav form showed up in the Audacity, but it wouldn't play the wav. I decided just to save to wav and try to play the file in a different player. The wav ended up being 8GBs and was full of static.
I am completely out of ideas right now. I think one option that might work would be extract the dv avi again but I want to find some program to use for avi to wav before I try that. Anyone have any ideas?

TMPGEnc has an encoder that will seperate the AVI into 2 files mpeg2 and a wav file. It's not free but I think less then $50, I believe it has a 30 day trial also.

Thats what I did and ended up buying the program, cause I'll do a few DVDs a year and replace the audio from the video recorder with a seperate audio. Good luck.

VirtualDub will save a WAV file from an AVI (provided you have the right codecs)
