You don't hear anything because of the ",false" in the avisource line; That means "don't treat the sound" and it's normal to have this. Don't change anything.

For the black screen : I see taht you have a convertToYV12() in yout script; I guess that if you remove it, you will have an error. So I'm quite sure that you have codec problems;

Upgrade to last Xvid and Divx codecs (Xvid is really important even if you are not doing xvid) and configure them to output in YV12.

Note: you talk about MS but it seems taht in fact you (badly) modified my V3 script for avi->kvcd.
You shouldn't modify it the way you did (making a resize before blindPP for instance). And more, I suggest you to upgrade to the new version of the script (V4) :

hey Phil,

i tried what you told me about the codecs and i got the sound and video to come out, but i hear a little distortion in the sound and i was wondering if you can help me figure out what causes it. i also fixed what you told me about the script and used ur v3#2 script.
