Whenever I make an AVI into a DVD w/ ImgBurn I get the same problem, the disc plays in my PC but not my DVD player. I have it in build mode and it completes successfully, however it just plays on the PC. My media is TY (real) so it's not the issue there and I'm burning at 8x to play it safe. It must be the DVD player itself right? Is there anything I'm missing here?
You're using the wrong software. ImgBurn is a software that records/creates CD/DVD image files. If you don't possess a certified Divx set top player, you will need to encode video files such as AVIs into DVD. DVD Flick is fitting for this task. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/552742
I know you know what you're talking about but Imgburn does work creating AVI files to DVD's. I use Imgburn build mode to create AVI files to a DVD for standalone use. I have done ths for years and the DVD's do work, just not in my Magnavox player I'm currently using. Imgburn will finish merging the AVI files in build mode and I have a DVD w/ the movie on it which plays perfectly in my PC and my friends DVD player but not my Magnavox. I usually use Vso DivxtoDVD to convert the AVI files and then Nero Burning Rom to write it. This method alway's works. Again, the method does work, but maybe you mean it is a flawed method and not the intended Imgburn purpose. I looked and the guide wants the AVI converted to Video-ts files so that is probably the problem.
mossfan18, ImgBurn is merely a burning application. It does not encode generic video files such as an AVI and the like to DVD. This is why: Build Mode in Imgburn is not in the slightest considered video encoding. What you're doing is basically taking two dissimilar formats (AVI & ISO) forcibly telling them that they are one and the same when they're not. Fundamentally, you need the DVD files (data contained in a VIDEO_TS folder) first, only then can you produce an ISO equivalent. Additionally, if you unpack the AVI file you converted to ISO using an archiver like WinRAR you will see the original AVI in its basic format--unchanged. To avoid gambling away your media, I suggest using DVD Flick or another comparable software to encode the AVI files into DVD. Unless, you have a certified DivX set top player in which case you just simply write them as Data CDs/DVDs.
Thank you .. I will do this.. However the last time I converted w/ Flick the film was jumpy. It finished successfully but the movie jumpe so bad (before burn) that I delete it. Was there a reason for this? Like I said, I usually use VSO to convert and Burning Rom to write.
