Hi everyone I really hope somebody can help me, I converted a movie.avi with XVID Mpeg 4 codec using WinAVI Video Converter too make DVD files. the result was these files: VIDEO_TS dvd index file VIDEO_TS.BUP VTS_01_0 dvd index file VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_1 VTS_01_2 VTS_01_3 VTS_01_4 I tested the movie from the vob files and it plays brilliant on my pc... but after i burnt it to dvd using nero..it is slow and freezing. After trying to learn much in this forum and changing dvd media and burners.. i tried to play one of the four vobs from the burnt dvd i made.. it again played perfect from these. I narrowed it down to the dvd index file, because if i start the movie from there it is choppy and slow but if i start it from the vob file , it is perfect. Is there anyway i can fix this index file to work properly or should i try to find another program to make these dvd files. I hope you all can understand this post thanks for any help
Hi denniss, I haven't use your type system of doing things so this is a guess. A normal dvd backup ends up with all the files you have except the index files. Try burning everything except those and see what happens. Use a RW disc as test if you have one. Good luck. Jerry
If you have nero, try loading the VTS-01-1 thru 4 in NeroVision Express(NVE) one at a time. You can also create chapters and make a menu for them if you wish in NVE. _X_X_X_X_X_[small] [bold]GO VOLS![/bold]..Dell Media4600,XP,Pentium 4 @2.80GHz/800Mz,512MB,280HDw/8MB,17"flat panel,AIO-A920,8xDVD-ROM,integrated5.1 audio,HPdc4000,PlextorPX-708UF,LiteOn832S-DL[/small]
Hi. Unless I'm mistaken, the index files are actually IFO files, and required. denniss, did you use the Nero DVD-Video mode, and did you burn all the files in a "VIDEO_TS" folder? You can view the following guide to check the correct procedure. http://www.dvdshrink.info/nero-video.php _X_X_X_X_X_[small] For DVD Shrink and related softwares guides and information, please visit http://www.dvdshrink.info[/small]
To make sure of what files you need, in NVE you can browse to he folder in NVE and it will only show the files you need to add in a window, then you can click on each file in order and add one at a time until done. You then have the option to create a menu and/or add chapters. If you just want a movie you can use burning rom as denis suggested or use burn express and click and drag the entire folder to the VIDEO_TS folder in express and hit next and burn. Be sure to click on DVD in express when you open it.
Thanks guys for all help @Jerry746 - I`ve stopped trying to burn now as the problem is still in the VIDEO_TS folder that winavi video convertor made. @ddlooping & bigorange, yes i used that Nero DVD-Video mode...the dvd when burnt actually plays just like it does if i start the movie from the VTS_01_0 index file on my hard drive in the VIDEO_TS folder (slow and jerky). If i start the movie from any of the 4 vobs tho its fine, but nero asks for all files when burning (vobs,bup, ifo which are the only files i have) In winavi, there is a view video file information, this is the file readings before i converted it: Video: width 640 - height 352 - play speed 23 Audio: sampling 48000 - track number 2 info of decoder and encoder: Video Renderer Default DirectSound Device AC3Filter XviD MPEG-4 Video Decoder AVI Splitter C:\Program Files\Agent\fahrenheit911\fahrenheit 911.avi hopefully one of you guys might be able to spot something... if not , thanks for great help. And can any of you recomend another easy program to get avi to dvd, once again thanks for all help
