    Hey all :)

    I'm pretty new to all this so please bear with me. I had a .avi file I wished to convert to dvd so I followed this guide:

    http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm


    AVIcodec gave me the following information:

    File : 699 MB (699 MB), duration: 1:30:32, type: AVI, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 56 %
    Video : 575 MB, 888 Kbps, 23.976 fps, 528*288 (16:9), DX50 = DivXNetworks Divx v5, Supported
    Audio : 124 MB, 192 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x2000 = AC3 DVM, Supported


    I extracted the AC3 audio as suggested.

    When it came to the encoding I chose DVD-NTSC (even though i'm in Europe) as the fps was 23.976


    I followed the rest of the tutorial as it said yet when I tried to playback my DVD I had audio but no visual.

    Where might I have gone wrong? My TV is capable of displaying in NTSC, PAL and Multi and my dvd player can play all regions.


    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I forgot to add that I found it strange that after using TMPGEnc on my 699Mb .avi (with the AC3 audio extracted) I was left with the following:

    .m2v = 125Mb
    .wav = 994Mb

    When it came to authoring the DVD I used the extracted .AC3 audio. After using IFOEdit I was left with the following files:

    VIDEO_TS.BUP = 6kb
    VIDEO_TS.IFO = 6kb
    VTS_01_0.BUP = 52kb
    VTS_01_0.IFO = 52kb
    VTS_01_0.VOB = 278,198 kb

    It just didn't look righ to me. Hope this helps solve where I went wrong.

    Try use e.g. WinAvi or VSO ConvertXtoDVD to see if you have better luck first.
