ms.sui_caedere Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Let me start off by saying that I know absolutely nothing about burning dvds. I think you will find this for yourself when I tell you my previous problems with burning dvds. So, I've bought countless Dvd-R's and Dvd+rw's in hope that I can successfully burn a dvd. I (ignorantly thought) that I could just burn it the way you burn a CD, go to Slsk (a p2p program, such as: winmx, torrent, limewire, whatever prog you use to dl) and dl an mp3 (in this case an .avi) and burn it on a cd (in this case a DVD disk) using Windows Media Player (which is what I use to burn my cds) and viola, I have a Dvd I can play on my dvd player and watch it on tv. BUT, wrong! It never worked out for me. I knew I was missing something, I must be, since no matter what I was never able to play it on my dvd player, but I could watch it on my pc. I started to blame my dvd player, but when I tried the disks on so many, I realized it must be the way I was burning it that was flawed. So I googled, did some research and realized I first had to convert the .avi file into a .vob file. I then went on a spree, dling Dvd Flick, CDburnerEx, RZ DVD Creator (only to find that it wasn't freeware), and finally ImgBurn. Since ImgBurn is my last attempt, I decided to stick with it and find out how to fix my problem instead of continuing to dl in vain a lot of other software. Now, I don't even know what my problem is. Could someone be kind enough to tell me step by step, how I convert the .avi into an .iso, and then burn it into my dvd. I think I'm already in that step, but now the only problem is this: PS: Sorry for the very long post. I 10:54:56 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Your drive is producing a bad burn on that media. So either buy some different (better) discs (and not rewritable ones if you can help it) or get a new drive that supports your current discs.

Will definitely go purchase any, recommended.
