I removed the DRM, used DVD Flick and ImgBurn and got it to play. Thanks everyone who answered.

Thanks for your input. The file I am working with is a purchased, downloaded WMV movie and DVD Santa will not convert it to another format. I tried several other conversion programs and they will not convert it either. The closest I came was with DVD Flick. It converted and burned to disk using ImgBurn but when I went to play it on the DVD player it said the disk could not be played. When I tried on the computer all the images in the movie were scrambled.

No. I make sure it's set for NTSC which is what US uses. I tried again and this is the log of DVD Flick and ImgBurn imgburn_write.txt dvdflick.log

No. I make sure it's set for NTSC which is what US uses.

I installed the new firmware and used a DVD-R disk. Same result. The movie was converted and burned but the replay only shows a lot of colors but no actual picture. The AVI format movie I converted and burned had no problem. They were both downloaded movies. These are the files that were made. The Audio_TS folder was empty.

There is a later version 1.3.0.4 that includes some bug fixes, might be worth a try to use it. If you still get a crash, post in the DVD Flick forum about it, they should know more about the issue. I tried 3 different WMV files on DVD Flick each one took over 7 hours to go through the process. When they got to burning the disk with ImgBurn I kept getting the following error message for the first 20% of burning "Failed to write sectors xxxxxx-xxxxxx Reason: Write Error Retrying 1 of 20. After it got past sector 379935 it continued and then said it was complete. When I put the disk back in the computer I got asked what I wanted to do with the empty disk. An explore of the disk showed nothing on it. If ImgBurn showed successful completion, where did the files go??

I took a downloaded MPG movie and ran it through DVD Flick and it converted it so I can play it on my DVD player, but when I install it in my portable DVD player I get a message that this type of disk cannot be played.

These are the files DVD Flick put in a folder it made. The Video_TS and Audio_TS folders are empty.

I am not sure, but I was able to copy the WMV file from my HDD to a DVD and it will play in any computer that I have tried. DVD Flick made a MPEG file not an AVI, sorry for the wrong information. When I check the properties of the movie file and click license, it doesn't show anything.

I ran DVD Flick using a second copy of the movie file. It completed but when I tried to play back the new AVI movie there was no sound and the pictures were all scrambled, a lot of different colored squares. Nothing I have tried, ImgBurn, DVDFlick, DeCrypter seems to be able to allow this movie to be burned to a DVD that can be played on a DVD player. Any other suggestions from you or anyone else? Thanks for trying.

After 0ver 4hours it finally finished, but there was nothing in the Audio_TS or Video_TS folder it made.

Did it state any error code? I can try it again and send you a copy of the log. Also, the preview pane shows a scrambled picture not the movie.

i'm confused So am I. I'm just trying to get a movie I downloaded to my HDD burned to a DVD disk that will play on a DVD player. What other information do you need from me?

:& :& :& I understand that. I inserted the DVD that has the WMV movie file on it into my computer then I opened DVD Flick and added the title. I checked all the settings to be correct then clicked create DVD. The program stopped after 1 hour and 36 minutes and said there were errors and was shutting down. I know you specialize in ImgBurn but you seem to know a lot about the compatible programs. What do I do now or should I try the DVD Flick forum?

Thanks. Somehow I missed that in reading the instructions.

I only have the ISO image. Isn't ImgBurn supposed to burn the image to a DVD disk that can be played on a DVD player? The movie was downloaded to my HDD as a WMV with only that one file that will play the movie on my computers. No ifo bup and vob files. I created an ISO image hoping that ImgBurn would then be able to burn it to a DVD that would work. I know that the image i created was from a WMV that did not play in a DVD player but I was hoping that somehow ImgBurn would fix it.

I have never used DVD Flick before today. The ISO image was made yesterday from the movie using DVD Decrypter. It also burned to a DVD disk which did not play on any DVD player. Then I was told about ImgBurn and that didn't work either. I don't understand how the movie plays on the computer from a DVD disk but I can't convert it or do anything else with it so it plays on a DVD player.

Please read post #4 of this thread I started DVD Flick I clicked Open Project I selected the movie on my hard disk Movie.WMV and clicked OPEN The attached message came up. I clicked YES and the next message came up. I clicked OK and the program shut down.

IsoBuster showed one track containing the movie in WMV format. Why, when I look at the disk using Windows Explorer does it not show anything on it? Now what do I do to make a DVD of the movie that will play on a DVD player? Thanks for your help.

The movie was downloaded to my hard drive as a WMV so there are no individual files showing. I wanted to play it on my DVD player so I copied the file to a disk. The disk will play on a computer but will not play on any DVD player. I tried to convert the WMV file to AVI and then MPG with no luck. Even though it said the conversion was successful, the disks still will not play in the DVD players. Then I made an ISO image which I am now trying to use ImgBurn to burn it to a disk. Even though ImgBurn says it was done successfully, the disk will not play in the DVD players and shows no files on it. The disk shows empty when I try to open it but ImgBurn says that it is full.

Is that AVI files? If so you need to convert before burning, or it won't play on any DVD player. You can do that by using DVD Flick and similar programs After ImgBurn completes and says that it was done successfully and I insert the disk back in the computer it does not show any files on it. It shows 4.37GB size and 4.37GB free out of the 4.7GB disk capacity but ImgBurn shows that the disk is full. I can't convert anyhing if no files show up on the disk. It should show all the movie files on the disk.

Thanks for the reply. Here is the log of what I did. I think it is what you suggested. However the disk still doesn't play in the DVD player. I still get the same message. I am using a DVD-RW disk. Does that have anything to do with the problem? I 16:32:29 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

Here is the log of what I did. When I insert the disk in the DVD player the message comes up "This disk cannot be played" When I insert the disk in the computer it does not show any files on it but ImgBurn shows that the disk is full.
