No sound in MP 11 from home movies with vista

I currently have a dual boot pc running XP and Vista. I am having sound
issues with home made movies made from my digital camcorder. In XP media
player 11 will play the movie with sound. In vista it will play the movie
with no sound. Media Player 11 will show a dvd with sound. So how come I am
not getting sound in Vista but I am getting it in XP? How come I get sound
from a dvd but not from my home movies in Vista?

I believe that's only needed for Home Basic and Starter...
