Hi again,

I wasn't able to get the VCD to work in my DVD player...so maybe, it doesn't support it. Otherwise, I messed it up. ANYWAYS, I'm planning on trying to get a DVD burner...so, I deleted all of the programs I downloaded for creating a VCD that weren't mentioned/needed for creating a DVD. Then, I downloaded all of the Required, After, and...I tried to get the Recommended. However, I can't find the XVID codec in the link you gave. Is there somewhere else that I can get it? If I already have DIVX player, is it necessary for me to get the XVID codec and DIVX codec?

Thanks!!! Big Smile

KiwiHoshi -
If you have a Divx player you should be able to simply burn a DVD with the AVI files as "data" files - no need for any re-encoding. The Divx player should be able to read the AVI files directly. There will not be any fancy menus - but usually very functional and a lot easier and faster than an encode process. For subtitles, just include the SRT files (making sure the name matches the AVI file) along with the AVI's. You don't get a lot of options this way but the viewing is quite satisfactory.

Good luck!

Does this work for H264 compressed avi files?

EDIT: And another thing. For some reason only the first 10 minutes or so transcode before it starts encoding.

I mean...
Everytime I try to convert AVIs that have 48000Hz stereo audio to mpv and mp2 using SimpleAvis2Dvd it tells me there was an audio error and the MP2 file is 0 kb.

So everytime I want to convert these type of AVI to MPV and MP2 using your tutorial, I'm having to re-encode the AVIs with 44100Hz Stereo and then, after I do that, I load the re-enconded AVIs on SimpleAvis2Dvd to convert them to MPV and MP2.

So I'd like to know if there's a way (with your tutorial) to convert AVIs that have 48000Hz stereo audio to mpv and mp2 without having to first re-encode them to AVIs with 44100Hz Stereo.

Thanks in advance!
