Sometimes, Not all, I will create a dvd with an avi movie file, and comes out of synic, off a few seconds........ Any one have any ideas? Second, I have a movie that plays in nero, But I do not know the type of file it is, yellow disc shape ( a dvd icon ) . I do not know how to burn for a dvd format on Nero. Thanks million for your help.
Perhaps the problem files are 25 FPS (PAL) and are being converted to NTSC (29.97). If so try vsoDivXtoDVD, it works quite well with this type of file. http://dl.afterdawn.com/vsoDivxToDVD_setup_v0.5.2b.exe Import the file(s) (AVI, WMV,MPEG, VOB) Output (standard DVD file format) to a folder on the HDD. Set 'Aspect' to 4:3 (if you have a regular TV) 16:9 if you have a widescreen TV. Set 'Standard' to NTSC (if you live in North America) (PAL if your in the UK) To find out the type of file (if it's AVI), drag it onto 'GSpot' and it will tell you the video and audio codecs that were used - and also if they are installed. http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/GSpot270a.zip
Nero Vision is just plain crap at converting AVI's that's the problem. It uses some horrible, proprietary Nero codec that can't sync audio/video at all, I know what you mean, I've used Nero once or twice to transcode AVI's and both times the audio was off by miles. Instead of VSO I recommend you use DVD Flick: As it's a very similiar program but FREE, with the same features and lay out. IMO, it gives you much better quality as you can manually set your bitrate settings to whatever you like to squeeze as much quality as possible into every DVD. I've never had an out of sync DVD with it. DVD Flick can also output to PAL or NTSC.
