NeroVision Express 3 - burn successful however playback is stuttered.

Craig,

To keep you up to date, I have done the following items:
1. Uninstalled; Sonic MyDVD, Pinnacle Instant Copy, EyeMail, several Photo programs, and PowerDVD.
2. I than ran the CleanTools, Driver and Registry Checker.
3. I than rebooted and went into NVE 3 to try one of my Xvid AVI files again.
4. The project was written to the hard drive.

Unfortunately the footage was choppy. It is choppy in exactly the same place each time. Within the first 1 minute that is. Obviously I don't continue watching after it has done the freeze restart thing twice (choppy).

Bit by bit possible issues are obviously be eliminated.

Thanks again for your persistance.

Hi Drno68,

Have you run GSPot on the Xvid file to see how it was created?

Do you have trouble with other Xvid files?

Did you download this from some site? If you did, can you provide me the link so I can download it and see if I have the same issues with this file(s)?

Regards,

[bold]sounds like a bunch of corrupt files to me,[/bold]

have you tried using other app' to convert the avi
like vso's dvixtodvd???,this will drop out the dodgy packets
then burn it the video ts folders with clonedvd2,
i only use nero when vso's doesnt accept the files,as it takes twice as long,and the quality is sometimes questionable.

using tdk media,especially dvd+r,maybe the problem,who actually made the disk's,whats the id code??
try using dvd-r

nero,as i have mentioned before is good for some,but a nightmare for others,with it being littered with bugs and issues with compatibity with using other app' on the pc.

i would try other app',just for now,see if you can get it working

 

Hursty,

I have successfully converted the files using VSO DivxToDVD. I didn't understand why I could and Nero couldn't.

I was trying to find out if Nero could do this task for me. I have one file in this format which DivxToDVD could not convert with the audio in sinc. Nero does do it with the audio in sinc, but the playback is choppy even when written to hard drive and played back from there (ie no media issue).

Thank you for your input.

DrNO68.

 

Craig,

The files were obtained from a BitTorrent site (provided to you via other means so as not to break the Forum Rules as i understand them).

I will run Gspot (when I work out how) and post the report if that is possible.

I will also create an Xvid file from one of my own video clips and try it on NVE. It may take a few days however, as I have never created my own Xvid file before. May take a little research to see how I do it with the programs I have (which were listed a couple of replys back).

Thanks again,

DrNo68

 

the only files i have had that dvixtodvd cant handle are the ones extracted from bin images,with these,i have to use nero,but i have dont have much problems with that.

for audio sync probs,read this guide

http://nickyguides.digital-digest.com/audio-synch.htm

 

Hursty,

Thanks a lot for that link to the audio sinc guide. I have added it to my favourites.

I will need to read over it a couple of more times before I can understand completely but I can see that I should pick it up pretty quick.

Thanks again.

Oh, and as I mentioned before, in an earlier thread, the both the MainConcept H.264 Encoder and Nero are able to convert the file that otherwise ends up with an audio sinc problem. However I do not have the full version of the MC (only trial/test version) and as such it leaves a water mark on the entire footage, and Nero unfortunately has a choppy problem when dealing with Xvid on my system at this point in time.

The Xvid version of the AVI plays perfectly by the way. The audio sinc occurs when I conver the file to VOB using DivxToDVD or Canopus Procoder.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

 

Craig,

Following on from your suggestion, I created an Xvid AVI from some personal video footage. Using NVE 3 I used that AVI file to create a DVD and wrote the subsequent file to the hard drive (rather than burn to disc and end up with a possible media problem).

The Xvid file converted and played back perfectly. There was no sign of Choppy playback. This file did only include video as it had been edited in Premier 6.5 and the Video and Audio is saved as seperate files. I used VirtualDub to convert the file to Xvid AVI from Mpeg, but only managed to import the video file (I am not that suffisticated yet).

Anyway, the bottom line is that NVE 3 successfully converted the file from Xvid AVI to DVD format without Choppy playback.

It would appear that the problem lies within the downloaded 'BitTorrent' Xvid files.

For the information of others reading this file, I am able to convert the 'BitTorrent' Xvid files using VSO DivxToDVD. The point of the exercise of late has become to examine whether NeroVision Express 3 could also be made to convert these files and burn in one operation.

Craig, I will be interested to hear how you go with similar files using NVE.

Hear from you later.

i have had problems like you and am now learning that its an AUDIO thing,i just briefly scrolled thru so i not sure but if you are adding tweeking audio files it seems to chop everything up ,in nero for me it wont make copy with ac3 and DTS together for certain files when making a movie with vision express 3 if i add an mp3 under the video everything goes haywire,, so theres something

Your problem as listed in the "movies jumping on playback " thread, sounds very similar to those discussed in this thread.

May I suggest that you read over this thread (particularly the entries made by Craig as he works for 'Nero').

It would seem at this stage that Nero Vision Express 3 as a problem with Xvid AVI files obtained from BitTorrent style sites.

Hope this helps.

 

I am also having the same problem with a Xvid AVI file trying to create a DVD. Video is choppy. Also when I go from the title sample screen to the burn screen it pops up the message:

Your project contains more PAL than NTSC material, but will be encoded in NTSC if you use the current settings. Do you want to change the settings to PAL, so that your project will be encoded in the video mode that matches the majority of the project's contents? saying that most of my video content is PAL but my setting are set for NTSC.
I want to burn NTSC, maybe that has something to do with it? I have run GSpot and everything seems fine, I have proper codecs, etc...

Also, you mention you viewed the DVD straight from harddrive, which option did you use to save the files to harddrive? (Write to harddrive folder -or- burn to image recorder?) Also what program did you use to view straight from harddrive (i.e. how did you get your DVD playing software to open that file?)

Thanks!

 

I figured out how to play the image from my hard-drive. silly me, just select "Write to harddrive folder" then in PowerDVD select source as file from harddrive.

One other thing I noticed is with the DVD I did burn (and discovered the choppy playback on) and the harddrive image, the PC displays very corrupt video. It is blocky and it seems the horizontal hold is broken, there are blocks of horizontal rows that seems shifted from the ones above and below it. There also seems to be a lighter version of the image offset horizontally, very strange. This corruption only occurs on the PC, video works fine on a real DVD player (except its choppy there)... I am trying to set a video mode (standard) rather than have it set to automatic.

 

Newbie question: If you use DivxToDVD to create VOB files (because nero makes choppy video), can you still utilize the menus created via Nero?

 

I used Divx3DVD and the VOBs it generated are still choppy! The framerate on the original source is 25fps and plays on the PC just great, it doesn;t play well when converted to VOB by either Nero or Divx2DVD. Anymore ideas would be great!

 

Terbear,

I have had success on a number of occasions using DivXtoDVD to convert from Xvid-Avi to VOB format and then authoring using MyDVD.

This thread was started in an attempt to have Nero do the whole job.

Using MyDVD will probably not work for you however if the playback is choppy or faulty in some way from the hard drive.

If playbakc is faulty in some way on playback from the Hard Drive I would think that there is a problem either with the source file or the conversion settings. Someone with greater experience than me on this site will probably be able to suggest a solution for you.

Happy burning,

DrNo68

 

Hello all,

Well to my surprise, NeroVisionExpress 3 has now managed to successfully convert one of my downloaded Xvid.AVI files from its downloaded state to a workig DVD.

I was even able to cut out an unwanted scene in the editing function prior to conversion.

The file transferred without error and transcoding and burning were completed within the actual running time of the featured file.

I did burn to Hard Drive then to disc as a precautionary exercise.

I am very pleased the NVE is able to perform this function.

I can only assume that the previous files I was trying to convert were all corrupted in some way.

Information provided as an update to a problem listed.

Happy Burning everyone.

DrNo68

 

Are you still seeing slight stutters during the playback of your movies after coverting them from avi? If so can I ask on Nero vision express are you enabling the option to burn in chapters? If so I suggest disabling this option and try buring the movie again from avi.

 

r45301,

To answer your question, No. The latest conversion included chapters and plays perfectly. In fact, for whatever the reason it works on my set top player on a TY01 media disc. Up until now they have been very hit an miss on that particular player (they work in everything else I have.).
