Hello there people of afterdawn, I recently downloaded an .avi file and I have some problems with it in the DVD player. I've had other .avi files that I've burned as a data DVD which have worked on the exact same DVD player, but it seems as if the ones that I have recently downloaded do not work. It's not like there's an error or anything, it's just that there's no picture or audio. The DVD player that I use is one from LG and is DivX encoded. Here's a picture of the properties of that .avi file, and am hoping that someone out there can help me. Thanks, mahdlo!
Does your machine play avi's in High Def? The file you showed the screen shot from seems to be 720 progressive.
Hi dave, thanks for responding. Yes, sorry for not indicating that the file is 720 progressive. I guess my DVD player doesn't support that. Is there anything that I can do to make it down to just progressive scan? This is the DVD player that I have (LG LDA-830): http://ca.lge.com/en/products/model/detail/dvdplayer_lda830.jhtml Thanks, mahdlo
Two choices really - if you want to watch it in your DVD player, you'll have to re-encode it. Either encode it to another avi, for example, 720 * x resolution, Or create a proper DVD with something like DVD flick, VSO converxtodvd, Thefilmmachine, AVI2DVD, etc,etc.
Okay, I use TMPGEnc DVD Author to make my original DVDs. So if I do it with this one, it should work? Thanks, mahdlo
Give it a try. I'm not familiar with the recent version of DVD author, but assuming it can handle the re-encoding, you should be in business.
