AVStoDVD beginners guide - Any video to DVD-Video

[gkoper]

I tried the beginners guide, but when I play the ISO in VLC or burn it do dvd it does not come full screen. When I play the video directly it does. Any help would be appreciated.

My video is in mp4 and I have subtitles in .srt format which doesn't work with AVStoDVD on mp4 files. How can I get the subtitles in?

DVD custom size

if I enter for example 23500 will the program know its single sided? and there is no need to do the extra steps it does for 2 sided dvd's

Hello is anyone still here?
I'm having a problem with AVStoDVD where the audio and video are out of sync. The audio is a few seconds ahead of the video.

Below is a copy of the log file from my last conversion.....

I don't see anything wrong, the only red flag is the VFR video, although FFvideosource and the way it's encoded forces a
constant frame rate and everything usually works. You could always add DelayAudio() to the script, assuming it syncs OK, except for its offset

[jc8952]

Thanks for the response. I have made many video DVDs from these type of mpg videos before but since I got my new laptop I've noticed this problem with the audio not in sync. Could it be my new Windows 11? I don't see why that would cause a problem. I'm not using the Windows codecs but the LAV ones.

perplexing.

If it's a file you can share upload it somewhere and I'll take a look.
Perhaps first you should change your Avisynth audio source filter to FFmpeg (FFaudiosource) in the settings and retry

[jc8952]

Thanks for the reply. I am using FFmpeg (AviSynth) for the audio. Should I choose one of the other selections? Such as FFmpeg+Aften or FFmpeg(safe mode)?

What about Auto Adjust Delay? I have that selected.

I don't know how to add a delay to the audio. I don't see it in the preferences window.

I don't mind sharing the video file but it is about 10 GB so too large to upload here.

[davexnet]

wavi+aften. Also this:

[jc8952]

I see. I thought you meant under the Audio tab. I will try that and let you know.

Thank you so much for your help!

[jc8952]

THAT DID IT! Great. It works fine now. I think what happened is when I transferred to my new computer the settings got altered. But it works now.

Again, thank you so much for your help!!
