Ive been trying for ages to find a way to burn avi files to dvd and watch them on a stand alone dvd player. On all the forums it seems you have to encode the avi files so that they are mpeg2. Everything i try takes forever or is really confusing. I got ffmpegx, got it all installed properly..followed the step by step guide..the incoding from avi to mpeg2 took about 5 hours. I continued following the instructions, found the movie.dvd file with the audio_ts and video_ts files, tested the video_ts in mac dvd player and it started playing but was just blank. I decided to still try and burn it to dvd since it had taken 5 hours to encode so, burnt them on to a dvd using toast6 which took a matter of minutes which i thought was unusually quick since it takes about 20 minutes to burn an audio cd or data dvd.
When it was ready I put it in my normal dvd player and it started playing as in the timer started ticking but the screen was just blank, no picture or sound.
What did I do wrong? Would love some help on this please its driving me mad! why cant it just be simple and easy?
thanks

also..ive noticed that the audio_ts file has nothing in it...??
Moving you to our mac section.
The audio_ts should be empty.
Try also play the dvd using VLC Media Player, if it's also blank something went wrong in the conversion. Try another avi to dvd converter tool( I have no idea what as I don't use mac)
before any burn, try the DVD:Originally Posted by deadwreck09
- drop the VIDEO_TS folder on DVDPlayer.app icon to open it
- if your DVD-VIDEO contents is OK, then burn it (and if not… try again
)
- burn it at the slowest speed for better compatibility with home players (personnaly, I use the app LiquidCD http://www.maconnect.ch/ -option DVD-VIDEO- to burn)

I agree with Herve. If Apple's DVD Player doesn't play the VIDEO_TS folder right, then burning it will not result in a playable DVD disc.Originally Posted by deadwreck09
When the converted video is blank, most likely your source file wasn't decoded correctly, so it couldn't be encoded correctly.
It might be time to tells us a bit about your source file: What is its video codec?
