You may be running into problems with your AVI file. I too have this problem when I try to go from my DV camcorder to an editing program and then to DVD (or CD). I usually get an error that the AVI file is not the supported format. To date, my only resolution has been to "frame serve" from Adobe Premiere to TMPGenc and save as an MPG2 file.

Anyone know if I am right, in that how the AVI is made is the key here?
If so, I would love to know the right way to save the AVI (correct format) to make this work.
