recently my friend gave me a video which I burned onto a dvd he video was in format.avi, I have a nice Sony dvd player which is averse to the cheap kind that really don't play dvd videos. I used Convert X to DVD newest update and burned the video, I don't know whether it is the encoding process or the burning process, but whenever I try playing the dvd in the sony dvd player, the video plays and abruptly after 10 or 15 minutes the video just stops and freeze's and skips to the beginning. I am tired of wasting dvd's I have Maxell or Maxwell I don't know the spelling, they are good kind, but I do not know what the problem, I really appreciate it if someone can assist me with my problem. Please and Thanks.
It's a process of elimination. Does the DVD you burned play OK in the PC? What about a 2nd standalone DVD player? Some players don't like certain brands of disk. Try Verbatim (available in Best Buy) or Sony. Invest in some dvd-rw and burn the exact same thing you did before. Does that play in the Sony? At least if you experiment with RW media, you don't waste any more disks!
I have this problem also for years. I use verbatims up to 4300 and use convertx. also tried imgburn, same problem. Even reverted back to my xp machine, same problem. I would love a good software combination that would let my avi movies play in a standalone player. Please help!
My guess is that the files being used, are corrupt, in the case of both posters having problems, or there is user error involved. I suspect the latter.
i do support for computers. Ur probably right too. User error. So what can be done? What practice do you use to have your dvd's play flawlessly? USPS Money order for whoever can solve this!
