Hi I'm having trouble with winAVI- it won't burn DVD's but it'll burn VCD's I started using winAVI a month ago, and everything was fine. I converted some movies from *.rmvb to DVD format, creating the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders. I then open the DVD burning wizard, and added the DVD movie (by selecting the VIDEO_TS folder and clicking "OK"), then clicking on "starting to burn". The whole process is fine. Until I ran out of DVD's... I bought some new ones (DVD-R, 1-16x) and repeated the above process. The little box on the right changed from red to green once the disk is loaded, but when I click on "starting to burn", nothing happened! The status bar stayed at 0% and the remaining time didn't changed from 0:00:00 at all. I thought there were something wrong with the disks, incompatibility with my 8x DVD burner- so I exchanged the pack for DVD+R, 1-8x But still it won't burn. I thought I was adding movies wrongly, so instead of selecting the VIDEO_TS folder, I just selected the dvd_0 folder, and clicked on "starting to burn". This time, the disk is burnt with only the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders, but the folders are empty. There are nothing wrong with this pack of disks as I tried them- burnt data with Sonic RecordNow and they're fine. But with burning VCD's, winAVI is working fine. I converted the same *.rmvb files to VCD format instead and winAVI burnt them as VCD's ok. What's going on???
I have Winavi but have never used its burning engine for burning to dvd. Maybe you could burn with e.g. Nero and see if it works?
I have a debug log, but it's from burning VCD's, not my failed attempted at burning a DVD (i've given up on them for a while)... as mentioned before, winAVI pretty much just sat there after i put a blank DVD in, with the progress bar not moving at all... i emailed winAVI and they suggested that i upgrade to v7.5 (i have 7.1 at the moment)... problem is, i don't really want to fork out to them again unless it's definitely going to work...
