dontasciime Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 If your trying to convert dvd to avi then No ImgBurn will not be of use to you. If you already have ISO of divx material then ImgBurn should work for you. Post a log Log can be found here C:\Documents and Settings\Ascii\Application Data\ImgBurn\Log Files\ replace ascii with your name (username) folder name

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Well the log shows you're using all 3 filesystems so the player should hopefully at least have something it can work with! There's not really any reason for it to be failing, or at least none that I can think of. You could try burning to a rewritable, going through the various different options for filesystems - i.e. Just ISO9660, then ISO9660 + Joliet etc etc. It may also be a media issue whereby the player can't read the discs full stop. What exactly does the player say when you put one of the burnt discs in it? Does it just give you an error code or does it show you files (but you can't then play them) ?

When I put it in the player it starts to load & then freezes up.I have to turn player on&off &keep hitting "open" button to get disk to eject.Don't know if this means anything but when windows dvd maker was working it took 2-3 hours to burn a disk.When I tried Imageburn it was about a 10 minute burn.This was for a 60-90 minute movie.Not sure what you mean by "read the disks full stop".If only part of a dvd disk is used does it have to be closed or finalized or somthing to work proper?Device manager reports the burner on computer is working correct.Thank You for the replies......Steve
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 DVD Maker would have converted your files to a DVD Video format, that's why it takes so long. ImgBurn is burning the files 'as-is', so they'll NOT be in DVD Video format. >> It may also be a media issue whereby the player can't read the discs full stop. I mean the drive can't read the discs - full stop (a.k.a. end of story).
dontasciime Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 If you made the avi yourself then go back and check the bitrate and resolution, some divx players will only playe files if res is under a certain limit and do this for bitrate as well as if its too high your player will not be able to play them. You should also see if your player accepts anything encoded with quarter pixel (2 of mine do not though my players are 3 years old now) Get hold of something called Gspot and dump the avi into it it will tell you loads about the file your trying to play
