Problem in DVD Lab Pro

[BlackAdder2TheRescue]

Im authoring my first DVD and I'm having a problem with DVD Lab Pro.

I converted two avi files into MPEG2 with WinAvi. Then I opened DVD Lab Pro and imported the first MPEG2 file. When it was ready a pop up box opened and mentioned two mistakes. The first was the sound (mpa) which I thought I I solved with transcoding. But now it says that this file has wrong or unspecified aspect ratio and that some DVD players wont be able to play it.
The second is with the mpv file. It says exactly:
Wrong frame size
You can enable non DVD sizes in Properties
Size 320x240 FPS 29.97 Aspect:
Any help guys?

EDIT: The same thing happened (the frame problem I mean) when I used TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6. This program too says I have frames which cannot be aceepted

look at the top left, there is a section "WHAT IS", and click the "DVD" link under it. You will see the specs for valid mpeg files...

I know that but how do I change the frames and such?

I have no idea how to change it in winavi, but DLP will accept non-standard framesizes. What you have (320x240) is known as 1/4 D1.
Most players will play it.
As it says, go into properties, and change it, then DLP won't give the warnings.
It IS only a warning, not something you MUST do.

Yeah I did but the preview in DVD Lab Pro looks awful with the picture and the frames kinda breaking

Don't trust any preview except a burn to a DVD-RW (or +RW if the fancy takes you) and watching it on the TV.

re make the files in win avi to conform to 720x480 not the 1/2 size frame you've encoded

Don't trust any preview except a burn to a DVD-RW (or +RW if the fancy takes you) and watching it on the TV.

So the preview does not show the actual footage that will be in the DVD?

@dcsos: How do I do that in WinAvi? Should I change some properties?

>> Size 320x240 FPS 29.97

Shouldn't the framesize for NTSC be: 352x240 ??
Aspect ratio: 4x3

I really dont know what or how it should be, I dont understand anything. I just follow some guides that I find here but they are WAY too confusing. Dunno what to do.

OK open WinAVI choose DVD
now go for advanced, you have to pull down the menu to MPEG-2 here then specify the frame size on the back tabbed page
DO NOT USE THE DVD setting as it will not 'fix' the Frame Size of your inputted file
Also Don't change any of the other settings

Upsampling is, and always will be, crappy.
There's nothing wrong with your current 1/4D1 video.
Load it into DLP and author it.
The preview doesn't show the actual quality, it's just a preview.
You're going to have to burn a DVDRW to test it.

I did it I did it I did it!!!
I used TMPGEnc DVD Author with WinAVi and now I have one beautiful DVD playable in my Paritek Free Zone DVD player with my homemade menus ans stuff Thanks guys for all your help you're amazing!!!!
Now the only thing I stil have to do is to understand how to pur the English or Greek subtitles there

You need Dvdlab Pro to do the subs.
There's a tutorial on the www.mediachance.com website.
