thankyou for the help with last post I follwed the guide to use divxtodvd got to 1% and computer just restarted itsself was saying 31 hours remaining this happens with nero and dvd decrypter as well I had nothing else running in the background please could someone help me I am going insane here
Dear nettew, First of all, there's no need to start a new thread for the same problem 'cos that would make people hard to follow. I searched and found that you had only posted once before, so figured the problem should have followed from there: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/221365 Now you mentioned at the above thread that the avis were downloaded. If so, then they could be containing errors (downloaded avis often do), and you need to check and correct them before converting. Try use DivFix or AviFix (both free programs) to do it, but remember to backup first. If problem still persists, please post again. Good luck!
Video fixing may sometimes backfire (i.e. do more harm than good). So it's important to backup the video files (e.g. avi) before fixing.
tried divfix but not sure exactly what to do with it clicked check for errors it finished and said 0 is that what I am supposed to do thanks for your help something has to work soon
O.K., so your avis do not contain errors, but DivxToDvd is unable to convert. Now try the followings: 1) Make sure you have all the necesary codecs by downloading and installing K-Lite Codec Pack (full or mega version): http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm 2) Use e.g. Power Video Converter or X Video Converter to change the codec of the avis (set video to XViD and audio to Mpeg Layer 3) 3) Try to convert with DivxToDvd again. Good luck!
sorry its me again have downloaded and installed K Lite Codec Full is power video converter in there somewhere or is it another thing I need to get
Power and X video converter are independent softwares. They are commercial products, but have a free trial period. Power Video Converter: http://www.apussoft.com/ X Video Converter: http://www.aoamedia.com/videoconverter.htm
thanks again for your helpI am downloading power dvd converter now one more syupid question do I need to do something with K Lite or does it just stay there
After you've installed K-Lite, the codecs will be ready for action, and it's up to the various programs (e.g. media player, burning programs) to make use of them. The good things about K-Lite are that: 1) all the codecs are organized in an orderly manner and would not interfere with one another 2) the codec pack is updated frequently 3) the codec pack also comes with quite a few very useful tools (e.g. Media Player Classic, GSpot, Avifixed)
tried power video converter got to 4% and stopped said caused an error in SKINMAGIC.DLL do you think I have a problem wiyh my computer have pentium 3 800mhz 80gig hard drive about half full 512 ram dont really know what that means but is it good enough should I try the X video converter

Try convert some other avis that are error free with Power Video Converter to check. If still can't do it, then maybe you should run a diagnostic test of your pc.
Hello again have run norton disk doctor fixed the problems it found tried a different avi file after checked with divfix still caused pc to freeze after that I got the ad newsletter and carefully followed the guide to use DVD2SVCD not sure how far that got but the screen went blue and said system halted windows protection error I had the guide window there while I was doing it to make sure I did it properly I really dont know what to think now can still easily burn mpg files with folder to iso but when I try to do a movie it burns and works on the pc but on the dvd player there is an audio_ts and video_ts folder but cant open them to make it play any ideas would be greatly appreciated thankyou for all your help scf_au
If you have not been able to burn anything at all, then maybe you should start again from the basics: Try burn any movie to harddisk with DVD Decrypter.
hello again tryed to copy using decrypter it got to about 17% then a message came up and said caused an error in kernell 32 then another one came up and said SMC caused an error in kernell 32 do you know what smc is? thankyou for all your help hope to hear from you again it looks like your the only one that cares
