    You need to have the correct video codec installed on your computer before TMPG will be able to open the avi.

    You need to find out which codec was used to create this particular avi and install it, then TMPG should open it.

    Does anybody know the name of that program which determines the codec used in the creation of an avi?

    As far as i know you can download a trial version of ulead dvd, Or if you search some torrent sites you can find full version, If you look on google, Theres loads of programs, dvd santa is another good program, The first program i mensioned seems the fastest, I converted one today it took about 80 miniuts to convert

    Have you tried Mpeg Mediator?

    Incredibly fast with manual option to resize movie window. (Freeware)

    i have tried posting on these forums many many times and i never ever ever get a reply, so i figure ill post here and see if my luck changes. Here is the topic i posted on the 25 and didnt receive one reply to:http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/163122
    i still have the problem with the sides cutting off and i dont know what to do about it. I prefer to use winavi because i can just put in like 15 avi's and it gets converted to vob files, then i can just shrink them and burn. Unless there is a program that can let me do this at the same speed(it takes like two hours for te vob files to be made and it took like 12 hours for less files in tmpgenc), could you guys refrain from suggesting other programs

    Yes it is the same program as far as i know, I installed the newest program, And it comes up ulead dvd 3, Maybe because its the 3rd version, If i click on the desktop icon it comes up Dvd moviefactory 3, You can convert most stuff to dvd, I use it all the time its excellent and really quick, Sorry about the delay in answering ive been getting a new broadband connection cheers, Ps let us know what you think when you try it

    Hey, I have some avi files that i want to convert to dvd, (like video_ts and stuff) I have VSO Divx to DVD, but about half way through the encoding, it freezes up. Is there any tools that will work for that? Thanks

    I am also having some issues with the sides and some of the top/bottom cutting off. I'm really noticing this because I have some subtitled .AVI files, and part of the first/last words get cut off on the sides, sometimes almost completely unreadable because they go off the bottom of the screen.

    I'm using NeroVision Express 3 right now, but just started burning DVD's, so I'm open to other software products that work better.

    Any advice would be great from you guru's out there!
    ;-P

    Sdrabor

    BTW Mattt, if it's taking 9 hours, it could be your burner or how you're configuring the software to burn. What's the max burn ability of your burner? Is the software set to burn at a low speed??
