Problem with AVStoDVD...

[ufcdanny]

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to author a concert to a DVD, they are MP4 files, so I had to try a few programs before I found AVStoDVD. It seemed to work great for the first few steps. It imported allright, no errors, but when I started the conversion, it hangs for a few seconds and then I get an error (Pic at bottom of message)

Does anybody know how to fix this? It's the only program that seemed to work for me so far. ConvertXtoDVD didn't have sound, and TMPGEnc DVD Author made the files huge since it says they are 51 minutes in length. If I can't fix the AVS error, can someone tell me how to fix the 51 minute length problem? In VLC Media Player, it also says it's 51 minutes. But it's really only 4 or 5 minutes per song (video). But in KMPlayer, it shows the correct time.

I would prefer fixing the AVStoDVD problem since it would be alot easier. If anyone can help out, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance everyone!

Can you post details of the mp4? Like video and audio codec and the video length. Use MediaInfo.

Can you play the mp4 using wmp? If not then try install haali media splitter and ffdshow and then try avstodvd.

Here's some info using MediaInfo:

And yes it worked with Windows Media Player. Any suggestions?

From the AviSynth error message, it should be a codec problem. What mp4 codec are you using? A good approach could be:

1. Uninstall currently installed mp4 codec and splitter
2. Install haali media splitter (as suggested by Baldrick)
3. Install a ffdshow stable release (as suggested by Baldrick): http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=199421&release_id=469925
4. Make sure you enable all (needed) codecs in ffdshow Video and Audio Configuration
5. Make sure you have installed AviSynth
6. Try again in AVStoDVD

If you still have errors, please post here the log file generated by AVStoDVD.
