I've tried 4 progs and 4 failures burning movie, please look at these errors.

I am trying to burn a movie that I downloaded from eMule, it says it's in AVI format but I have tried 4 programd and failed each time. Below are some pretty pics with errors.
1 tried with NVE3 and got this


I then tried NeroRecode2 and got this error



Then I tried DivxToDVD and got this

and then finally AVI2DVD and got this

 

gwen, you need to run your file through avicodec before we proceed.Copy and paste the properties in your next post so that we can see whats going on??????????????

 

@andmerr, I found AVICodec on page 15, had to be on the last page. I have 5 files in the folder 2parts of 1 movie and 3 movies. I firstly ran folder through and got this



the movie in question didnt appear so I went to file direct and I got this little doosie



oops wrong way around, its a mystery file, probably X FILES

 

Try change the codec of the avi with e.g. Power Video Converter or Advanced X Video Converter (set video to XviD and audio to Mpey Layer 3).

Good luck!

 

Tried downloading xvid codecs yet?

 

@scf_au, I've had a look through the 15 pages of software again but cant seem to find either prog you mentioned, is there a link available thanks.
I have gone back to check the movie source and mp3 is mentioned, does this shed any light on the problem

 

This worked for me... I'm not 100% sure this is the problem, but it could be possible, I wasn't able to open an .avi that I wanted to convert... Then I got the xvid codecs and it worked, seems if you don't have the right codecs, you can't turn into dvd. heres the link by the way http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

 

@po3t, thanks for the link for Xvid codecs but not sure what to do with it. Heres another pic of file I downloaded maybe someone can tell me which format it is.



If I cant beat this one I will just have to delete it, pitty 'cause I'm told its a good watch.

Hi Gwendoline; I don't know if this is of any use but, I recently downloaded a very heavily compressed Mpeg4 movie. VSO couldn't open it DVDsanta couldn't even see it.

Anyway bored by this weeks Monday allnight US football match, I download the latest version of Nero.

Nero said the movie was a mix of PAL and NTSC and various other AVI formats.
But burnt it in half an hour.

It plays on my spit Sony spit standalone.

I hope this is of some use.

I tried to convert a .avi to dvd, and TMPGEnc didn't let me open the .avi. I then downloaded the xvid codec, after that TMPGEnc allowed me to open the file. So of course that means I was missing the codec.

So basically what I am saying is you might just need the xvid codec, as mentioned, I'm not saying it will be your solution, but just a suggestion to try.

 

@Gringle, thanks for your reply. I am surprised really that Nero wouldnt open it, I've always had great success with NVE3 but not this time. I'm not game enough to upgrade Nero yet as I have this prog worked out.

@po3t, thanks also downloaded thexviD codec but no change. Looks like I'll have to shell out the $15 and go to the movies, then theres the drink, popcorn, ice cream etc...come to think of it I might keep trying. Cheers

 

that wont be neccessay gwen, pm me the title and i'll try and track a workable version for you.

 

@andmerr, hi and welcome. The title of the movie is halfway down page. I noticed the MP3 format nentioned and when I checked my Codecs I dont have one for MP3, is there 1 available. BTW nobody gave me details where to send "R++++" movies so I gave them to Charity.

 

i'm a charity case and i didnt get any...........lol

I'm to lazy to scroll back to the top or even half way down,

 

I'm using the trial version gwendoline free until the end of the month,
but I'm very impressed with it so far, I might well buy this one.

Good luck!

 

Bugger just when? I fell in love, with the virgin???? Nero............some-one proved she'd been had before.

Nice one scf_au. lol.

But I still think this PC thing, is a bit like cooking, and a bit like being owned, by dogs; feed em the wrong thing... and they start biting back.

El Gringle master of the...the last food he provided?

 

Gringle --- pc guy turn philosopher????????

@Scf_au, I downloaded both those progs thanks, I tried Power but that only allowed me a 50% trial so am now trying Advanced. Will let you know results.

@Gringle, I downloade Nero7 trial version and yes it does look good, however I started to worry when I couldnt find NVE3 but soon located it and burnt first movie without a hitch. I will continue with trial version and then convert to full version if it behaves itself. Cheers to you both.
