I have confirmed that the source has audio.
the .mp4 output file with commercials (comskip) removed has no audio.
I believe that the other MCEBuddy settings were defaults except folder designations...and most of those were defaults as well.
I looked at the common issues that described "MCEBuddy sometimes creates video with no audio"
There are no indications of a secondary audio file in the properties window.
This is the contents of the Medio Info;
Video
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Codec : dvvideo
Duration : 01h : 04m : 37s
Height : 480
Width : 720
FPS : 29.97
Audio 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Language :
Codec : pcm_s16le
Channels : 2
Nothing unusual.
I have to be doing something wrong but which is very simple but browsing around the advanced pages i just do not see anything obvious to me.
I am using VLC to play back .mp4 files. The O/S is Win7.
I can convert it in Freemake Video Converter, removing the commercials manually. But i thought i would give Buddy a whirl to see how good it was at trimmng and removing commercials...BTW: the final length was just over 44 min.n n When i trimmed the program, it was 59 min with commercials and my hand-cut version was 43:59, just 3 seconds shorter. This implies that the cutting was working pretty well.
I would appreciate suggestions.
Thanks.

ok, attached is the log file. There should be no async parameters in it. The log file says its size is 38k and i am unconvinced that it will upload, so here are a few lines around an ffmpeg portion of the log.

stupid me...of course, zip it. The new log was only 18k but zipped it is only 4k
