Im a bit new to this and getting a bit frustrated! Hope someone can help me..........
I have downloaded two movies and converted them from AVI to DVD format using dvdsanta.
The movies play fine on my PC. When I burn the discs( also using dvdsanta) the movies stall at about 3/4 through. Sound remains ok but picture freezes. It seems to be approx the same place on both movies.I have just purchased a laptop and im a bot paranoid the burner is faulty.
Any ideas ?
Also I am using DVD+RW discs incase this makes any difference.
Thank you

Hi..I also use DVDSANTA to convert from AVI to DVD. Though I save the file to the hard drive then burn using Nero 6. (Create a folder in your documents and amend via the browser option).

This seems to work a lot better than using the DVDsanta burn option. (Also experienced an occasional prob..). Hope this helps.!
