Convert AVI, Xvid, DivX to DVD

get TMPGEnc dvd author, convert to vobs, use dvd shrink to shrink the files so they fit to dvd and then use nero burning rom to burn to dvd, if you use dvd shrink then set it so it automaticly uses nero to burn. Alternativly you can use nero vision express and set the burn to long play so the file fits to dvd. If your going to use NVE and want to extend the play then do this: start new project, click MORE, click VIDEO OPTIONS, click DVD VIDEO tab, in quality setting set the desired setting i.e. long play/super long play.

 

Hi I have a prob I converted a Xvid to DVD format using Gspot , Virtualdubmod, TMPGenc plus and TMPGenc Author all goes fine till the Authoring process.

The created m2v file plays in full but after it is authored it is missing the last 10-15 minutes of the film..

Any Ideas what is going wrong?

P.S Great site tou have here

 

Thank you very much for making reply MrRod. I appreciate your kind advice on how to finally get my favourite film (no longer available on DVD) on DVD of my own. Thanks!!!

the only problem with all divx/avi to dvd converters is that they have a few set resolutions and i have films that get squashed if they are set to those resolutions. why cant there be a program that allows you to keep the resolution of the source file so it isnt squashed or skewed!!

 

If you use Nero Vision Express to burn your avi file your able to change the aspect ratio to 16:9 or 4:3 formats in the video options, don't know if that's of any use to you but you might want to give that a try.

 

Im having problems with TMPGenc. some Xvid films can be recognised and some cant be. its really annoying. is there a 'decent' xvid/divx to dvd program, that supports ALL video files????

 

oliblake,
do you have FFDshow installed? if not then you can get it here:

http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ffdshow.cfm

 

yes i have it installed and not all my xvid films are recognised. its really annyoin.

 

all i can say is that TMPGENC does not work!!! its utter crap for divx and xvid. nero is crap aswell cos u cant preview the movie while its been converted. super dvd creator is crap aswell and tmpg dvd source creator says i need 4gb free on my HD but i have 14gb free!!!!!!

 

Thanks for the guide posted on your website, I'm gonna download TMPG and give it at try at converting AVI to DVD

 

i have posted this message a few times but never got any reply, could someone please post back to say even that they have never heard of these problems.i have had some good advice from people from afterdawn a few times in the past and i have read some excelent tuts aswell but nobody has returned a post to help with this prob and i don't beleive for a second that nobody from this great and pro place has never heard of such probs.Afterdawn is the daddy as far as i am concerned so please live up to your reputation and please post me on this prob. Original message- can anyone help.i have problems trying to encode an xvid file.every time i try opening the file to encode it the audio dissapears.it plays ok, only when i try to encode i get the probs.i ran it through GSpot, AVI fix, div fix,and still no joy.i also ran it through a protection detector and i got a message saying there were dummy files and i dont know how to get rid of these.when i open it in vdub theres still no joy.after weeks of trying my pc waves a big white flag at me and says i surrender please stop trying, its no use.can anyone please help.i tried vdub again and got the same story, once the audio sample reached 28243/215644(9722kb) vdub stops extracting.the log says processing thread has not cycled for ten seconds-possible livelock.any ideas

 

im trying to use TMPGENC express 3 and everytime i try to encode a video to mpeg, the vpfai server thing or what ever it is keeps crashing and an error pops up. why???!!? please help.

 

Joe777, have you tried converting your file with TMPGEnc plus? i use TMPGEnc plus v2.5 and have had no problems with it.

Run your file through gspot and post the results of the file here, someone might be able to help you more.

 

yes my only friend, when i load it into tmpge it doesn't load any audio streams only video, it's very strange and i have never came across it before.I will load it into G spot and post the results in a mo.Thank you very much for helping, cheers

 

oliblake, is your hd partitioned? tmp could be looking at c: drive only which could be less than 4 gig.

The Priority of VFAPI Plug-In in TMPGEnc

* If TMPGEnc fails to read some kind of media files, make sure that responsible readers are right there.
If TMPGEnc freezes when reading some kind of media files, try to modify the priorities of readers.
On top of each reader, click right-mouse-button to modify the prioirty.







you might want to get avicodec and Gspot, run your xvid file through either of them and it'll tell you what video/audio codec you need for the particular file.

I got a prob with my conversion, I did every step in the guide here on the web, it all went great, i burned it nice with Nero, untill I put it in my dvd player. It switches to black and white, there's no sound, and the subs are gray, with no words. When I thought: maybe it's my player, i tried my PS2, it looked like it was gonna work, because there was colour, but it still didn't have sound, and it also didn't have subs anymore. HELP PLZ!!!

 

Joe777,

I take it you used gspot, sometimes that prog states you have the codec installed when it isn't there, try using avicodec and post again.

you can find avicodec here:

sam2ow,

in TMPGEnc plus click the radio button to system( video+audio) on the start screen before you convert the file, that'll convert to one file containing both audio and video rather than splitting them. Try that and see what happens.
