I am using an external DVD burner so the tray just pops out but cannot go back in unless I push it. So.... I don't have to be quick at all! I am assuming that when using a DVD burner on a desktop computer the tray goes in and out in one quick motion when verifying?

Great news! I used DVD Flick to convert my film and it works in my daughter's DVD player! I am so happy! I replaced the old ImgBurn program in DVD Flick with the latest one and the burning was successful. I have a question, though: after the DVD was finished burning, the burner ejected the DVD, so I removed it. Then, when I closed the tray, it seems like ImgBurn wanted to do something else and I wasn't sure what, so I ended the program. Was this a bad idea? What does ImgBurn want to do (and what should I do) at that point? Thanks again for your help. My daughter will be very happy on her long car trip.

Thanks for the replies, Lightning & dbminter. I guess it's obvious I don't know what I'm doing! I'm not sure what type of video file I ended up with, to be honest. I can tell you it doesn't have a folder with VIDEO_TS, etc, in it. It's a single file that Windows Explorer describes as a "video file." I have two DVDs that work in my daughter's DVD player, and these DVDs contain VIDEO_TS folders with IFO/VOB/BUP files in them, as well as an AUDIO-TS folder which is empty. I think you are correct in your advice to convert my AVI file to DVD video files with the VIDEO_TS folder, etc. I will download DVD Flick and try that. Will this software burn the DVD with the appropriate folders, etc? Or do I use ImgBurn for this? In terms of what I was "following carefully," I used ImgBurn's "Create image file from files/folders" feature to create the ISO image from the AVI file. Then, I used ImgBurn's "Write image file to disc" feature. I take it, this is not the correct process to create the DVD that will work. I will try DVD Flick. Thanks again!

Help!! I converted an .avi movie file to an ISO image because DVDs with ISO images are the only format my daughter's portable DVD player will play (it won't play NTSC or PAL files). I then burned the ISO image onto a DVD, but it doesn't end up as an ISO file. It ends up as a movie file on the DVD and it does not play on my daughter's portable DVD player (but it plays on other DVD players). I followed the burning instructions carefully, but to no avail. What do I need to do to keep the ISO image as an ISO image on the burned DVD? Thanks!
