Problem with ConvertXtoDVD

[konzine]

Before I go off and freak out on those people at VSO, thought I'd ask you gurus first. Here is my question list...

1. When burning an AVI file, does it have to be a correct format to work on my DVD player? A lot of AVI files I've burned work real well, perfectly actually.. but then some don't work at all. could this be a result to what kind of compression was used on it?

2. If i take these avi files... and recompress them to DivX format with say.. VirtualDub and then burn them (in DivX format..) will that work?

3. see anything wrong in this latest log...?

Just opened my file with gspot and the Frames per second are 25. i don't remember ever setting the frame rate when taking these videos off my cam corder.. But it makes sense because it was purchased in china.. So.. Could that be why it is working in my Computer (region free...) and NOT in my standalone DVD player?


and if so... would CX2DVD burn it for NTSC for me?

[guns1inger]

If you leave Format set to auto then 25 fps (PAL) source will be encoded to 25 fps (PAL) output. If you want NTSC, set it to NTSC. Most likely your player simply won't play PAL material - not uncommon with NTSC kit.

BTW - impressed your camcorder could film the Shawshank Redemption.

Well it is a very bad ass cam.......


it was a video file straight off the camera that i converted to AVI. so youre probably right... cant play PAL. THANKS!
