Sorry, I don't use Tempenc author.

Do you have any other prog to try? One of the trialware that's available maybe?

[lord-lucan]

thanks for your promt response , can you reccomend an author .

the file is an MCF file so maybe it was converted to the wrong format from AVI in the first place ......... getting real confused here.....

Yeah, I don't know about the MCF bit at all?

IF you want to try a really easy way - just to get your head around it all - I learned on Ulead VideoStudio 7. They have a free trial.

You can either:

1.) try to put in the file Tempgenc produced, or
2.) start over and put the avi into VS7

Then you can go all the way through to making a DVD. It has basic authoring using menu templates, but you can jazz them up a bit if you want.

Get yourself a RW disc, and give it a try. After you've made your first DVD, you can then try out other progs and ways of doing it.
