So, I thought I had successfully converted my .avi file to a dvd, and then burned it onto a DVD-R disc (using the guide that this site provided), only when I put the DVD in to watch it, it just stops 40 minutes before the end of the movie. The original file does have the whole thing. Does anybody know where I went wrong? If so, was it during the converting process or the burning process?
Which guide did you use. Are you playing the DVD on the PC or a standalone DVD player. Does it play ok on the PC. If the AVI conversion was saved to a folder on the hard drive, verify that those files play in their entirety.
I used the guide that tells how to convert AVI to DVD using Avi2Dvd, then burning it with ImgBurn. I played on my Xbox 360, which I suppose is a standalone DVD player here, though the same problem occurred on the computer.
Did the program save the files to a folder - play those files with your media player. Is it complete?
Load the original AVI file into DVD Flick. Use the included, concise guide to set-up your project (NTSC video for North America or PAL, the rest of the world) and whether or not to burn the disk immediately. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/dvd_flick.cfm
