DVD Flick

[majordad]

I successfully created a DVD using DVD Flick from an AVI filel,but it iwll not play in any of my DVD players. What might I be doing wrong?

[Baldrick]

Does the dvd work on your computer?
Did you burn using dvd flick(imgburn) also?

[t0nee1]

What media are you using? What speed are you burning them?
Does the converted file play fine from PC,before burning???
Using IMGburn to burn or ner0?

Edit: guess Baldrick beat me to it...

[majordad]

yes it does and yes i did.

[majordad]

t0nee1 - i used a dvd-r. not sure the speed. i accepted the default. the avi files plays fine on my computer as does the burned dvd that was created. and i used imgburn with dvd flick.

[t0nee1]

What about the media?as in Sony,HP.....Verbatims are what I and others recommend..

[majordad]

media?

[t0nee1]

Disc type? e.g. verbatim,Sony HP, etc...

[majordad]

what brand of media...ok, i gotcha. the one i just did is a TDK.

[t0nee1]

Gotcha back, that's most likely the problem..Try better media,as in VERBATIMS...

[majordad]

you really think that is the problem? what about a maxwell?

[t0nee1]

If you want to add to your coaster collection or create another frisbee,by all means use the maxwell's....I've had better luck with Sony or memosux...

[majordad]

well ok then, i'll trust your opinion!

[t0nee1]

Well then I'll definitely sleep better knowing you trust my opinion...
But remember,it's just an opinion,I could be wrong!
Good luck with the very reliable verbs....... : 8)

Maybe DVD Flick output a PAL disk and you need NTSC.

This is s great tool. However, I've run across a puzzling problem. When I downloaded this particular .mkv file, the Bitcomet program has a playback function that shows the subtitles for the video. However, when I tried a test burn DVD files to my PC and then to a disk, the menu shows the subtitles a "disabled". Oddly, I can get VLC Player to play it from the .mkv file, too. But when I try with my Nero program or play the DVD files from VLC, they don't show up, I can't get it to "Enable". If I play this on a standalone DVD player, will show the subs without choosing to, or am I missing something? When the files were unpacked, I found no .SRT file.

Am I going to have to download some sort of .mkv subtitle extractor, or am I missing a setting in DVD Flick?

Okay - I tried adding a new .srt to it, since it wasn't displaying the original that must be coded into .mkv. Now, for some reason, DVD flick won't burn the video files - only the menu files - not the actual video. I have noticed that when I try to burn it with the new subtitles, I get this message: "Warning: the subtitle has overlapping timestamps. DVD flaick will attempt to fix them, but the resulting DVD may end up truncated". Anyone?

[sambat]

Load the srt file in Subtitle Workshop.
Click Ctrl I and it will show the lines with the errors and optionally fix them.

Thanks. I'll give it a try and report back.
