5 Coasters; Can't convert to dvd anymore!

[Quiddity]

Hi,
I have been making dvd's out of avi files for sometime now without any issues. I usually use vso's convertxtodvd. Now when I burn the dvd it won't play in the dvd player. It actually crashes the dvd player and i have to unplug it to get the movie out. It plays fine on my pc through powerdvd but not through nero show time. In show time all i get is a grey screen. The only thing i recently changed was that I upgraded to a newer version of convertxtodvd. I used to have divxto dvd. I have tried going back to the older version but i still get the same problem. This used to work fine before. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong? I haven't changed anything else. Blank media is the same as is everything else. I need some help because i don't want to make any coasters. Thanks!

There is tons of other software that can convert to DVD format. Try TMPGenc or MPEG Video Wizard.

Of course there is but I think the point is that he used to be able to play his cinverted AVI to DVDs on his DVD player and now can not.

All-in-one software usually reacts like this. It does not follow all the rules of the DVD-Video spec, and odds things happen. I'm not surprised. For better results, you need to encode, authoring and burn separately, not rely on a magic piece of software that barely works.

Maybe harsh, but the truth.
