Hi all. I am really glad that I found this forum. I am a new user of TMPGenC DVD Author (version 3) and TempGenc Source Creator (which I thought I needed but might not actually need).
The first thing I did was start a project and try to add some .avi files that were created by my Canon SD700 IS camera. I have no problem playing these files by themselves on my computer, using something like Windows Media Player.
When I insert the videos into Tmpgenc DVD Author, they are inputted fine. But when I try to view one just to see how it looks or edit it, I get sound but no video. This is true for .mpg files as well.
I tried building a menu and actually burning a DVD. On the burned DVD, everything played well and I was really happy with the end product. But when in the program, .avi and .mpg (which is all I have in original files) don't display.
Can someone help me to understand what's going on here. I am actually very good with my computer. I am in fact a computer systems consultant. But I can't figure this one out. Normally I would assume that some codec is missing from my system but the files play fine using other players. I am under the impression that .avi and .mpg files are supported in version 3.
When the .avi files wouldn't display, I used Tmpgenc Source Creator to convert them to .vob files but when I tried to load the .vob files into DVD Author, I was told they were not valid to import. I don't understand why Source Creator gives you the option to create .VOB files and then DVD Author won't accept them. Can anyone explain that to me too?
Sorry to mix two different sets of questions into one post but the second question really came out of trying to work on the first one for me.
I am putting high hopes on this forum to be able to help me sort this out and get going (at least the actual output looked good but I want to be able to edit it while still in the program).
ADDITIONAL INFO: If I create the DVD image on my hard drive and try to play with PowerDVD, I get audio but no video. If I burn the image, I get everything correctly. I can play avi files with something like windows media player fine but inside the program I can't see video using avi files as input. If I try to play mpg files outside the program, I get audio but no video. So I have some kind of mpg problem on my computer? How do I fix it? Commercial DVDs play fine on my computer.
Looking forward to your responses........... Rob
