Converting avi to dvd. I have been using this program for quite sometime but have suddenly come across some cartoons that simply won't play dice. 4 seperate dir with multiple avi files and none of which I can get to convert, part of the log file below: It goes through the whole process and bombs out at the end any ideas? TIA
Latest version 2.0.13.128 the files are torrents. I downloaded and managed to convert them with WinAVI Video Converter but not real keen on that program, seems lacking after using VSO. What is avis btw?
only cos you asked so nicely: AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. This is a container video format that specifies certain structure how the audio and video streams should be stored within the file. AVI itself doesn't specify how it should be encoded (just like the streaming format ASF), so the audio/video can be stored in very various ways. Most commonly used video codecs that use AVI structure are M-JPEG and DivX ;-). AVI contains code called FourCC which tells what codec it is encoded with. For more information, see the glossary definitions for: Codec DivX FourCC XviD Related software tools: Avi2Dvd v0.4.4 Beta (Freeware) Avi2DVD is a GUI in order to convert with just few clicks an AVI/OGM/MKV/DVD to DVD/SVCD/VCD. AVIcodec v1.2 Build 110 (Open source) AVIcodec is a nice little tool for identifying what codecs you need in order to play your multimedia files. Program supports MPEG-1/2, AVI, Ogg, ASF, WMV, etc formats.

If you ever want to watch movies, get this! GSpot v2.52 b01 Build 040915 (Freeware) GSpot is a nice little tool that allows you to see what codecs your video file uses in order to determine what you need to install on your system to watch it. Media Player Classic v6.4.9.0 (Open source) Media Player Classic is an extremely light-weight media player for Windows. It looks just like the good-old Media Player v6.4, but has lots of nice extra features. VSO ConvertXtoDVD v2.0.13 (Shareware) Easy-to-use tool that allows converting any video file format (DivX, AVI, WMV, ..) to a DVD-compliant video.
Downloaded videos often contain errors affecting encoding, and my experience has been that WinAvi has greater tolerance for errors than VSO. What I do is before using VSO, I'll use a video fixer to fix the errors contained in the avis. Here is a free tool that's worth checking out: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/AVIFixed.htm But be sure to back up the original avis firtst 'cos the process may sometimes backfire. Good luck!
Hi there, Do you have at least DirectX v9.0 installed on your PC ? I think this Preview Init error is caused if DirectX v9.0 or above is not installed !
