    I've read through the AVI to DVD+R guide and I went through the whole process using Avi2Dvd however, whenever I press GO! during Step 5, a pop-up saying "WARNING!!! Make sure that your path/file has no strange symbols like :";'[]{} !@#$%^&*()_+<> Just rename your file/path without these strange characters. Example : C:My Movies\My Videos.avi"

    My file names are pretty simple, such as "SCP" or "Korea 20080808" or "Tokyo."

    I've tried changing the name several times and I've even tried to use different files but still the same problem.

    Another problem that arises is that I'm supposed to pick an Audio Stream but since I can't select any file because of the name issue, no audio stream shows up for me to pick.

    How can I fix this problem?
