Burning DVD not working

[sassyjo10]

I just need to know what I am doing wrong. I had movie files in avi,used Win Avi to convert to dvd format and burned using the same. But will not play in stand alone player. The process was all automatic. Can u tell me what I did wrong? thanks

To determine the capabilities/limitations of your specific brand and model of standalone DVD player, as well as media compatibility, go to:

I have tried it on several different brands of dvd players and it doesnt play on any of them. Do you still have to author a dvd if you use the above programs? Thanks.

Does your BURNED DVD play properly on your PC?

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)


**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress


If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")


Let us know of your success ;>}
