DIVX to DVD has been giving me hell with alot of files lately.......It just stops converting at a random point in files. Over and Over again in the same spot.
Any other good reliable converters out there?
Trying to get mostly AVIs to DVD files here..
Thanks guys

I use TMPEG Xpress and don't have any problems. Sometimes I'll have audio problems if I don't output to seperate audio and video files... so I just never do that anymore. I've used WinAVI without problems either... never tried DivxToDVD.

using nerovision with nero ultra 7 or what not has worked fine for me, though with certain earlier versions sometimes i got some shit not allowing them to transcode to mpeg2 saying that divx/mpeg4 was copyrighted, version 7 doesn't hassle me though.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

I've always used Divx to DVD. Never had any problems whatsoever.
It just wants to freeze in the exact same spot of certain AVIS. It just refuses to convert withought an error message AKA just stopping dead in it's tracks at a certain point every time? It's strange.
I never liked WinAVI wich is ashame because I guess I'm forced to use it now

Maybe their is something screwy with the avi,s you are doing? I,ve ran into WMV,s in the past that must have been bad, that would not let me insert into a movie, while other WMV,s were fine. It was just one of those things maybe.

I was thinking that and made this post just to try these files with another program.... I will try it tonight with WinAVI and see what happens.
Can you convert AVIS to MPG withought fucking up the quality or what not? I've been told most AVI's are converted MPGs and was wondering if you could transfer them back.
My DVD plays mpgs so I could just save space withought all that DVD file bullshit AKA just putting a shitload of mpgs on a dvd disk

sure, you can make them mpg. Next time your playing with some .vob files off a dvd, copy and rename 1 of them something.mpg, and you,ll see their the same thing, but if you make one long disk out of lots of .mpg,s, I think after the first 1 stops playing, you,ll have to start each one indiviually, to play. I,m not really sure

DVDs videos are MPEG2... I think the .mpg files you find on the internet are MPEG1s... AVIs are MPEG4s. Alot of digital video standards are defined by the Motion Picture Expert Group and are named after them, but an mpg from a DVD and an mpg from the internet are two different standards. Any time you convert a video you will lose some quality.
Video conversion is such a pain in the ass. I got a standalone divx player to get around it, it works really well.

> DVDs videos are MPEG2
Incorrect. The DVD video specification allows for both MPEG1 and MPEG2 streams. The upper two bits of the VMGM_VOBS video attributes short (16-bits) specify the stream type. 00b = MPEG1 while 01b = MPEG2.

But aren't virtually all DVD videos MPEG2s? Atleast commercial DVDs? If you have some .mpgs you got off the internet... are they MPEG1s, and does that mean you can compile a DVD using those files without any file conversion?

Yes... but the standard does allow MPEG1 as well.
> does that mean you can compile a DVD using those files without any file conversion
If they are MPEG1, and if your DVD authoring software supports the specification correctly, then yes, you can use MPEG1 streams in DVD authoring without having to transcode the data.
