OK I'm not exactly sher what this is. i was using avi2dvd and everything was going great...until i had a friend email me an old movie he had on his computer (Seven Samaria) i had no problem fusing the two files together for one DVD. And the audio went fine from what i could tell. The real problem was when it tried to author it i think. The HCenc told me there was an Invalid MPEG2 file rate? What is this and how do i fix this is my question. Do i not have the right codecs, or is it something else? here's the log from the avi2dvd [11:51:13 PM] AVI2DVD Started !

Find at the log file the 0 byte generated file to focus where exactly the problem appears And for all those "converters" who say try Nero or something else... i don't want to! i like avi2dvd and it works for what i am doing.
Then don't use Nero. But your favorite app didn't seem to get the job done on this one. When you spliced the files together you ended up changing the structure. With DVD files, they have to have the right file structure or they won't record or play. They have to be compliant. avi2DVD didn't correct for that. IfoEdit, VobBlanker, and FixVTS may be some programs to help you out. Since you don't want anyone to tell you to use Nero Vision or ConvertXtoDVD, I won't. I will tell you they'd probably do the job a lot easier. But you hang right in there with that avi2dvd. With some repair, you may eventually get your compilation to play right. I like to see perseverance. Hopefully you get lucky and someone comes along and gives you an easy fix.
