I have tried the following to convert AVI to DVD with no success: 1)Following the guide provided on this site for TMPGEnc. The disc work on a new DVD player, but my Playstation 2 says it is the wrong format. 2)DVD Santa - I was able to convert one disc fine, but now when I try to do a widescreen one it says there is an error and needs to close. 3)DVD Flick - Went through the whole process, but my Playstation 2 can't read the disc at all. I need some help, I have some avi files that I want to burn to DVD's so that it will play on my Playstation 2 or any other DVD Player. I have DVD Shrink and DVD Decryptor, so I can use them to burn if need be. But I just need some good instructions and a good converting program. Any help is greatly appreciated. If you would like to email me you can do that too at weisr@hotmail.com Thanks
Are you converting to the right format, PAL/NTSC? Using right media format? http://beginwithsoftware.com/videoguides/dvd-flick-guide.html
OK so I have been researching, most of the AVI files i have are in 25 FPS which is a PAL format, do I need to convert them to a NTSC format. I am in the US, so is that why my Playstation isn't playing these? Anyone know some good freeware to do this? What FPS rate should I convert to?
Yes you need to convert it as the US uses NTSC. DVD Flick can do it for you, and it offers better quality than DVD Santa, so stick with it. After you add your title with DVD Flick, click on Project Settings> Select the Video Tab> Change the Target Format to NTSC. That should do it.
