what to do winavi didnt make ifo or bup file !

i converted my avi to vob and i need to shrink them with dvd shrink but winavi didnt make the ifo or bup file so dvdshrink wont work. what can i do?

 

Try convert to dvd compliant format directly from avi. If winavi still doesn't work, try VSO DivxToDVD (free version) instead.

Good luck!

 

damn neither of them worked!

 

What did the programs say?

 

they didnt say anything they just didnt make them

 

So there were no error messages? Were you able to paste the avi onto the programs?

 

no errors and i was able to paste them onto the program

 

When you paste the avi onto VSO, the log window would definitely show something. What was it saying?

 

it doesnt show or say anything...it just doesnt make a .ifo or a .bup files.which means i cant open the files in dvd shrink and re author them

 

O.K., still can't figure out why VSO is showing nothing.

Anyway, here's one more trick you can try:

Use Power Video Converter or X Video Converter to change the codec of the avi (set video to XViD and audio to Mpeg Layer 3).

If you can do this, then use VSO or winavi again.

 

k thanks ill try that and tell u how it works thanks again

 

which option would i pick to make them xvid in either program?

 

Yes, like I said, try set video to xvid, and audio to mpeg layer 3.

 

i tried and some failed and some didnt

 

So you did have some success? Are your avis downloaded? If so, you may want to check for error with e.g. DivFix first. But be sure to backup your avis before correcting for errors.

 

I think you'd better check whether your avi files can be perfectly played by WMP. Actually,I used winavi to convert files to dvd for a long time, and never experienced any problem!
By the way, if the problem still have not been solved. Maybe you can contact at support@winavi.com to find solutions.

 

check out the faq's at winavi, your answer is there. You need to download the k lite codec pack from www.free-codecs.com.
