Avi2DVD shutdown problem!

[Teastrone]

Alright iam kinda new at this sort of stuff. I just bought a new dvd burner and have some movies that i downloaded witch are all in aiv format. discovered that i cant burn aiv to dvd so i got Aiv2dvd 0.4.4 and tryed to convert the file and heres where the problem is when i follow this guide http://www.divx-digest.com/articles/article_avi2dvd_page1.html and hit the go button its starts up then my computer shuts down and reboots then nothing else happens, i tryed different movies but get the same result. please help!

So little detail, so little grammar. Where to start ?

How about :

1. Some details about the avi file in question - perhaps a screenshot from g-spot 2.60beta. (You can hide any incriminating file names before posting, if you want to)

2. Some details about the actual settings you have used in avi2dvd, including which encoder, at which point, exactly, does the program go belly-up ?

That it happens in different movies would suggest that there may be problems with codecs, or with avi2dvd. Perhaps screenshots from several avis would help find a common link.

Do these files play in say, Windows Media Player ?

You haven't yet provided enough clear information to be able to assist you in any meaningful way.

Yea iam sorry iam really new at this!
alright i keep all the settings the same i just add the file add it as a job then hit go, after i do that another screen pops up then the comp shuts down, one time before it shut down i had task manager open and my comp usage maxed out and staded there till the system shut down.

another screen pops up

Which says what ?

What, if anything, appears in your windows application logs at the time it crashes ? (Right-click My Computer and select Manage. Expand Event Viewer. Click on Application Logs and also System Logs and look for errors or warnings at about the time the system crashes)

alright well the other screen that pops up is Avi Mux Gui 1.17.4 And i did it twice and one time it actually dident shut down it gave me an error message saying audio streams incompatible but when i try to chage it to another stream theres nothing there.

I had a similar issue with AutoGK, even though the audio in question was a bog standard CBR MP3 audio track. AutoGK would get through the tests, do the first pass of the encode, then crap out with the strange incompatibility error about the audio. Even stranger, I didn't want it to change the audio at all, just use what was there.

In the end I processed the video without the audio, the demuxed the audio from the original, and muxed it back with the new version, all using virtualdubmod. Easier than trying to solve an illogical problem.

To me, this is the biggest short-coming with these pretty GUIs that pull together a lot of other tools in the background. If something goes pear-shaped, it can be a long process to work out which component is at fault. I don't have the time to troubleshoot someone else's poor work.
