[KiwiTHUGG]

ooooooook i used nero dvd software to transcode the avi file into dvd format automatically when it finsihed coding and burning for some reason it missed about 30 mins of the film? any ideas why? yet when i burn str8 to a cdr full file no coding to play on the pc or dvix dvd player it doesnt do it.. only when i burnt to a dvdr disc it missed the last 30mins..... whats a good program to use to convert to dvd format then use nero? something that is easy to use and quick at work............

Did you recheck your Nero's settings on how to handle video(s)?

I use dvdsanta to make dvd's from video files.

Had the same problem a while back. The last half hour or so of the movie was missing. Other movies since then have come out fine though. The problem movie was an .avi too.

it missed about 30mins of the video and the audio was out of sync... anyways to fix this?
under transcoding menu in the dvd video options its setting is

Quality Setting: Automatic Fit To Disc

Sample Format: Automatic

Bit Rate:

Resolution:

Encoding Mode:

Aspect Ratio Is: Automatic

Audio format IS: Automatic

Do you have DVDShrink? If you still want good bit rate, change to DVD9 instead of DVD5 before encoding. Then use DVDShrink to shrink to fit DVD5 disk, don't use Nero burn DVD disk directly!

Otherwise, use other program like ConverXtoDVD.

Don't use nero for that, use TMPGENC. That's all. If you want to change frame rate use something else, Canapus. Forums to help are : videohelp and doom9. Here it's mainly I dunno, invites to private sites except not really.

"Otherwise, use other program like ConverXtoDVD." < Don't use this. It's results are terrible.

There is an error in the .avi file. I have found several files like that, one was a copy of the original "Blade Runner," not the directiors edition. I transcoded the file to .mpg, and then burned it using Nero.
