I have winavi and can’t seem to get it to work with downloaded movies. It gets to 99% complete and then says the burn finished but it’s not finalizing the disc so any time I put it in my pc it asks what I want to do with the blank disc; and it does noting when put into a dvd player, just keeps loading. Any help??

Hi,
Thanx for explaining how to burn your limewire download to a dvd.
I am going to download the vsodivx and vcdgear now,then i’ll give it another try.
Wish me luck.
Rozey.:-)

This is both a answer and an question.

a. I have found every case of DVDR freezing during the end of a movie to be fixed temporarily by blowing air into the DVD Player cracks around the door. It will eventually freeze again and can be restarted by again blowing air around th eopening.This fixed both computer and stand alone players of different models. This I would assume to indicate a heating problem with one of the chips in the players that is only used for DVDR playback.
q. Can anyone tell me which chip needs to have a heatsink put on it?? Or some other workaround to over come the apparent built in problemwith many of these players. I have tested this on 3 standalone players and a laptop. They all start plying when air is blown in.

Thanks

U can try “WinAvi” video converter....
burn the movie using " nero " but at lower speed..
your dvd playr might not read if u burn it in maximum speed..
u can try to burn at “2x”
or...
a) youre dvd writer might be at its last...
b) your avi might be corupted..(dont think so..)
c) u burn the dvd faster than the dvd playr supports. (supports reading)

u can find winavi converter at:
http://www.winavi.com/en/download/download.htm

hope i did helped u a lil bit..
_______
peace.
p.s: u got the problem only this this avi movie.. or with all the avi movies? or.. with duplicate a dvd movie?...details..

p.s: is more about a) and c) coz if its corupted.. i dont think divxtodvd could re encode it as a dvd (.vob) format. soooo
more details would be better

thnx.

Okay everyone, I have tried to follow almost every guide and trick on this website and I have issues it seems with every one of them. I tried burning a movie that I downloaded that is an .avi file, I burned it as a data cd and none of my DVD players will play it for one, I tried using DIVXtoDVD and use NERO to burn it and none of my players will play it, it freezes at the menu screen. I tied just using NERO to encode and burn and once the files have been encoded and ready to burn, no matter what type of DVD+-R, RW or even CD-RW/R that I use, my burner won’t recognize it???? PLease help me! I have no clue and I have been trying to figure this out for 2 years now! 2 YEARS! Can anyone help me??? There are so many guides out there that I have no idea which one to try next.
Thanks in advance for any help that you guys can give me.

Not a problem, Brenda.

As for fixing films with out of synch audio, I usually do the following:

1. Using VirtualDubMod, save the audio stream as a WAV file.
2. Use Sound Forge to edit the WAV to match its timing with the video.
3. Then use VirtualDubMod to join the video with the newly edited audio.

This is just a summary, of course. But if you’re truly interested in this method, I can give you a more detailed instruction on what to do.

First, you would have to download VirtualDubMod:

Then, you would need Sony Sound Forge* or any other good audio editing software.

* Sound Forge costs $300, so it’s okay if you want to use something that costs less.

Thanks for your help. Is there any thing that can be done about movies that the audio is slower than the movies? I really appreciate your time. You have been very helpful.

@ Brenda

That could be the cause of your troubles then. The audio must be encoded at 48000 Hz in order for it to be DVD-compliant.

It says it is 44100 HZ. It says that it is [buster encode]tx.xvid Irc

@ Stuman179

I noticed in your first post that you mentioned selecting a “cue” file. If so, then this is a VCD that you’re trying to burn. You can only burn it onto a CD and that’s what Nero’s recognizing it as - a VCD.

If I’m wrong and it really is a .ISO file for a DVD, then something is definitely wrong with your copy of Nero 6.6. I would suggest that you update it.


@ Brenda

Load your AVI (I’m assuming it’s an AVI file here) into GSpot ( http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ ) and see what type of audio codec is used for the film’s audio stream. Also check and make sure that it says that it was encoded at 48000 Hz.
Look under the “Audio” section for all that info.

We want to make sure that the source AVI is kosher under its hood.
