Hey People: I don't know if this is the right forum, or if anyone here can help me with this. I have windows vista and when I try to burn certain avi video files onto the dvd I get an error about 5% of the way through telling me that some of the files cannot be decoded. I have installed several codecs as well as gspot to let me know which codecs I need for certain movies. I can play back the avi file on windows player, but cannot burn the file to dvd. Any thoughts out there for me? Solutions?
Heres a thought, provide some useful information. Telling us it fails at 5% does no good if we dont know what app your using. Are you using Roxio,Nero,Ashampoo,DVD Flick,ConvertXtoDVD,or one of a million other encoders?
I download the avi movie file from frostwire. From there I simply burn the file to dvd. It works with all the movies I download except for a few. I do not have to convert the avi to anything. I am using windows vista dvd burner. Does that help you to help me? Don't know what an app is by the way. Gspot does a partial rendering indicating with an error indicating that some of the streams in the movie are of an unsupported format. Thanks for the response by the way.
You can't trust what you download off Frostwire most of won't work anyway try you setup with known good file
I hate gspot, see if AVICodec is more helpful. As for an "app", apps are programs. Like those listed above. rbrock is likely right in the end. Bittorent is far more reliable.
