    Recording problem.

    I've tried almost everything to burn this movie i have to some format which will allow me to view on a bigger screen. So far, nothing has worked. I first attempted to burn to VCD which produced absolute crap material, then i encoded the video to mpeg using tmpgenc and burned to dvd, same result, only clearer picture, but messed up sound. I became so fed up that I recorded to mini Dv to view through a camera, which surprisingly gave the best results, but again, the sound and the video in some parts of the movie begin to slow down, becomes erratic and sound breaks.

    I used an avi to record to DV
    Also an avi to VCD
    and mpeg to DVD

    what am i doing wrong? or is it just the video itself? btw the video is a dvd rip of a japanese dvd.

    I think the .avi file has a corrupt header of some sort.

    You can try "VSO DivxToDVD". You can google it.

      "or is it just the video itself? btw the video is a dvd rip of a japanese dvd."

      it is very possible, if the file has corrupt frames tmpgenc doesn't like that and will screw up the sound always. you can scan the videostream for errors with virtualdub to see

          thanks i was able to scan the videostream, and i think i found a few frames with errors, because after the scan was done, a picture of a frame was loaded in the filter screen. what do i do with it?

            there is a program called divfix that MAY, and i say MAY resolve it. otherwise you're looking at cutting bad frames.

              wow, this is incredibly odd. Both divfix and virtualdub came up with zero errors in the stream.

                those programs aren't fool proof, like i said your last option may be cutting the bad section.
