I wonder why I answered that ???

Unless it is straight forward I can't follow.
The people who write these things have a mind set that is way off my mind set,and I am brilliant!:)

So the movies can stay where they are.
Thanks again lads.

730920 2008-12-20 20:27:00 Since it is AVI it should not be a problem to burn to DVD.

Play it first as an AVI in likes or Windows Media Player or PowerDVD and make sure it is ok Audio and Video.

To create a DVD with it just use Nero Vision or at worst Windows Movie Maker.

So long as the AVI has not been created with some oddball codec you don't have on your PC then it should be fine.

AVI is just a Raw Video Type but can vary depending on the codec used to create it. Windows DVD-AVI is a common one used for inputting DV from likes of a Video Camera.

I did burn a disk using Vista system,which worked OK for half the film,but would go no further.

730923 2008-12-20 21:54:00 So DVDFlick didn't work then? :confused:
I am sure it works for those who can understand it,which excludes me.
Sorry not have got it Bob,but I did try and it is to complicated for me to explain typing it all out.

730924 2008-12-20 22:37:00 The software you're using isnt the issue. If it was, it probably wouldnt have worked at all.

The fact it stopped 1/3 the way through indicates its either an issue with corrupt output from the application (And it would have probably alerted you during the conversion process).

This leaves a problem with the burn itself, which seems the most likely issue.

Try burning it onto a different brand / type of media. Are you using +R or -R disks?
Also, burn it at a slower speed. Remember that just because you select 2x or 4x speed, doesnt mean it specifically will, you need media that supports being burned at that speed also.

What speed was it burned at? What media? What brand is your DVD writer?

730925 2008-12-21 01:03:00 Cicero did you try burning at a slow speed. I have come across things many times that will only give good results at slowest possible burn speed. 2x 4x max sometimes works fine. Bantu (52)
