i did now convert from the mp4 (playing video but no sound) to -copy
audio/video to .avi
again 'no playback'
for some reason that video stream won't play as .avi but plays as .mp4
regarding audio it might be that the crap sony had problems with .mp4 and
that is why i used .avi all the time lately... 80% of the videos where the
conversion is described in the latest command play fine.
E
ps: is there an AVI headers or metadata viewer?
