    @Manz depending on what version your using , go to advanced tab and choose another audio codec or you dont have the right codec installed.


    My question is how to pull in the right Codec into Winavi. Basically WinAVI wont use the Divx 6.8 pro codec at all. It uses its regular Divx 6.4 which of course it doesn't have options of the 6.8 pro.Also the ffdshow codec is in the options. but the quality of the video aint the same.

    I also use a DVD authoring program called Acala Divx DVD Player Assist it does see and able to use the Divx pro 6.8 codec , along with the the other codecs ive got installed. The downside is that its slow even without the monster Divx pro codec. I've run it with a regular codec on several on about 700mb avi's. and it took forever.

    For my on use i find WinAVI faster and lighter(system resources) then them all ,Nero ,Roxio aka sonic solution and the thousands of trial-ware dvd authoring software found all over the internet.

    Basically WinAVI will truly become a monster encoder with the Divx pro 6.8 codec.

    I would recommend against using WinAVI.

    For one it's very bad at syncing audio/video, I always used to get out of sync movies with it, and two it's overall quality is not that great to be honest.

    I recommend DVD Flick, it's 100% free, it has all the features other commercial software like WinAVI and ConvertXtoDVD have, including menus as of 1.3.0.0; plus it allows you to merge several AVI files into one stream, set you bitrate manually, and uses Img Burn to author DVD's which is a far more robusting Burning ROM than WinAVI's proprietary one.

    Give it a try, you'll be pleasantly surprised ;)
