ive been burning avi with nero for some time now on to philips dvd-r, doing two episodes on each disk. Now ive started doing movies,now when i download movies i make sure there in good shape but when i play it on my dvd/divx player and theres about 20-25mins left in the movie it starts to freeze for 30sec and it skips a couple of mins. do i need a new program to burn my movies or do i need to compact them or convert...help???
First try slowing down your burning speed to 8x & perhaps 4x. Second try a different brand of media like Verbatim, Sony or Maxell.
I don't have any standalone players that will accept avi's as a source so I convert them all with DVD Flick. Just one question though, do they play with no problems before you burn them? Also Philips discs may be suspect, most always the recommended media is Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden. EDIT: Here is a DVD Flick guide if you need it ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/552742 Too quick for me tonight bratcher.
yeah eps are smaller so not much disc used and it just got through now a film fills the disc it cant cope by the sounds of it like loco says i reckon, get some good dvdr time... also i wouldnt use nero i'd use dvd flick before that
I left Nero for Convertx2DVD which works really well for me. The only think Convertx won't do is combine 2 AVI (or other format) movies into one title for converting & burning. I have to use Nerovision for that. As to Verbatim or Tayio Yuden media. Yep they are both great media but then I've had good luck with 16x (but not the 8x) Ritek too. Don't worry about it. We all help as we can!!
I think actually ConvertxtoDVD does convert 2 avis. It does not "join" the avis and then converts them,outputs a separate set of VOBs for each AVI file; but if there is no menu,it will play sequentially.
ill try to slow the bruning prosses down if not....ill try a new program, now i like the nero features of putting in a title screen do some of the programs ive been told about have this feature?
bratcher at least understands well what ConvertX does with multiple AVI's. This can be rather annoying on a 2 part AVI movie, as play sequentially involves a pause that can quite distracting. Do note the new version 3 of ConvertX will address this shortcoming.
the OP <---- ? i dont put 2 avi into convertxtodvd i jion the 2 part avi film with avi-mux gui first, that dam pause stops dvd running... but a menu 2/3/4/5/6/7 avi is good to go.
Sorry, can't read OP's mind, my ESP is malfunctioning! Not gonna mention other modes of joining the avi, like VirtualDub, AviSynh, or dozens of commercial joiners/splitters out there...I am sure the OP knows
Thanx LOCOENG, My dilema is OP= original poster as in the one that started the thread, or OP= the poster that the sub-post came from, and the quote was addressed to? !
thanks guys 4 all the advice...2 Q i have have down loaded a series and its in vob format and it the whole series + title screen + the extras.....the whole nine yards.... so how would i burn the file so it looked like i cloned a dvd, so it doesnt look like a homemade dvd????
