Re: Problem converting a avi file

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

hi saint , i agree it is the disc ,one thing i forgot to mention last night
is i have had problems in the past when it comes to playback with the dvd
freezing or not playing a tall on some players but playing fine on others my
cure (i got this from this forum)was to reduce the burn speed to x2 .I know
that most burners will burn at x8 or x16 but alot of dvd's are very sensitive
to the burn speed.Since i reduced the burn speed i very rarely have problems
..i use nero 7 ultra to do all my converting and find the quality excelent on
most discs i have not used convertx but have not heard of any issues with
vista nor any with verbatim so i would suggest dropping the burn speed
before wasting the discs

Hi Marty, I am using a Verbatim -r dvd disk and it used to work on Windows
xp but not on my vista premium machine, the only other DVD I have is a
Fujifilm DVD + rw and I have no problem with this DVD converting and
burning, so I think it's the Verbatim R disks windows vista premium does not
like, I'll have to go out and buy a Fujifilm or a TDK+R DVD and see if these
work ??

hi saint, i do a lot of burning to dvd's when i first started it was very
frustrating ,i thought dvd's were all the same except some were rw and
some
not , for instance i almost always put films on dvd-r never rw i find
simple
files like backups can go on any disk ..+r's are'nt too bad for films but
be
carefull which brand you buy, at the moment i am using TDK+r which i find
is
a good all rounder the fact that a converted film won't burn on a
particular
brand of dvd is not a problem with vista nor your converting software it
is
simply the disc you use you did not mention what type of verbatim disc you
are using +or- hope this is some help
