at JMST, you want a guide......... well here ya go http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/avi2dvd.cfm that is a beta proggy, but it has a step by step in case the one andmerr sent you, you don't like or use.
@ gear79; i hadnt suggested that one yet as it has to much functionality, and then you really have to play with it to get a good result.Thought a straight forward proggy would be best so that we couls at least see if he could get his file converted and then burnt. Need to see the stats on the files before we suggest ????????????
@ andmerr, how easy is the "teachings" of yesterday. As you can see changed my little Wombat slightly this morning.....simple as, thanks Sorry JMST this is not helping you. I used NeroVisionExpress to burn my MPEG files, it did the lot, transcoding etc. All I did was drag files into window and clicked on NEXT until it reached the BURN stage.
@ andmerr my bad, sometimes i think that other members know what i am talking about. i get carried away helping, and sometimes it just gets confusing. i guess my way would be even more confusing, even if i tried to explain it. i agree, we will wait to see what files he has then. @ gwendolin i see you got your sig now, congrats on figuring it out, with andmerr's help.
@gwendolin your welcome young lady,(so your an aussie:where abouts?) so are you up for an animated one yet.You know you do exaCTLY THE SAME THING that you did for the still pic but just click on the animated icon instead.Go through all the same things but you dont have to use your sig box in the profile area, just link from one site to your post on AD. @ gear79: NO MY FRIEND, giving choices is what we are all about.But it does help if some one can get the basics first before they try the more advanced stuff.Look at the end of the day he is either going to get help from you , me etc.But he is going to get help and hopefully sort it
i'm just a member here, and if i happen to help, i am glad. can't wait to see your animated sig then gwendolin.
@ gwendolin: nah the blues(carlton) even though we finished on the bottom this year with the wooden spoon @ jmst: hey buddy how'd you go downloading that program.Ok i didnt think you'd have that much trouble typing it in.Heres a link that you just need to click on: http://avicodec.duby.info/ you might also download this gwendolin as its a very useful tool to have when burning avi's and like type files that you want to find out the properties of.
thanks for the guide and the AVicodec link im gonna try both and see which 1 i prefer. il tell u if it works
also can any 1 recommed an alternate DVD burner apart from nero and alcohol as i have issues with them, also i would prefer if it was freeware because im a student with no money
what's the issue with it?Can you post the log file and as i'm already chatting to the nero guru at the moment (creaky) i'll get him to assist you as well
a Nero log at this point would actually brighten up my workday as it's infinitely more interesting to look at than geek stuff bring it on :O
ok, this error message keeps coming when i try to burn with nero unable to prepare data for recording, prepare session failed: transcoding of video files failed"
