    hello all i'm new to this scene so please be gentle.

    Here's my problem i have a movie in avi format i used dvd santa to convert it to dvd which it did fine,but when i play the movie in my dvd player (TV) the movie will not fast forward even tho it says it's fast forwarding at 2x, then when i hit play on the controller it's at the end of the movie.It will rewind fine but i can't cut to scenes and so on what am i doing wrong? Also i used nero to burn the dvd.

    Thxs.

    Read between the lines ...


    DVDSanta is more than likely the thing you did wrong. It is crapware on the most part, as are quite a few of the all-in-wonderful-1-click-clueless-noob softwares that are out there. DivXToDVD is probably the best one I've seen, but it still doesn't compare to doing it properly - using a dedicated encoder and authorer.

    This hobby ain't easy - you take shortcuts and you'll get the results you deserve
    If in doubt, Google it.

    i noticed the same thing with dvdsanta the other day
    as home vid was only 12 minutes not really a big deal

    the TDK TTG02 8x dvd-r i use seems pretty good media
    works fine in all the drives iv tried it in including an old Playstation 2 and a new slim playstation 2 which are supposedly picky

    the file fast forwards fine when playing back on pc


    im sure ill start using a better converter soon
    maybe tmpeg to encode and tmpegdvd to author
    need to do some reading on it


    was forced to try an all in one (dvdsanta) as i needed the disk quickly to take out with me

    will give it credit in that the picture was good and it was quick

    copying DV AVI to hard drive
    installing dvd santa and encoding
    burning with nero

    only took 30 minutes to have a finished fully working dvd
