Mpeg Streamclip - No Sound

I use an Archos AV 500 Mobile DVR to record pictures from a camcorder. It records in AVI format, so before editing it in FCP, I convert it into a Quicktime file using Mpeg Streamclip.

This usually works fine, but for some reason every time I try and do it now, the pictures convert fine, but I don't get any sound.

I am using the Apple DV PAL setting, but leaving everything else as is. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Is there a better setting for editing in FCP which doesn't result in hours of rendering on the time line?

Cheers.

Im having the same problem converting avi to mp4 for my ipod. it worked fine then all of a sudden stopped extracting audio, even in the preview too.
if i find the solution ill post it here asap.

Hi, after a little more searching, i found another forum, and some guy had posted a solution. http://perian.org/#download
