I've used imgburn for several years and have only had this happen twice. When i burn an avi file 1,435,538 to a DVD 4.3GB, only about half the movie appears on the disk. You can tell by looking at the disk that only about 1/3 to 1/2 the disk has been burned. The last time i ran into this, i converted the avi to mpeg format and then burned it. This time when i tried that, the file was 2.7GB after conversion. Does anyone know what is wrong or why it might not be burning the whole movie to the disk? There appears to be plenty of recording area left on the disk. I tried several disks thinking maybe a bad disk, but the results were the same. I included both logs from dvdflick and imgburn. I edited out the file name.
