This is really wierd but I lost a whole weekend almost at suicide level. Am trying to author a DVD of various film clips to use as a showreel. But when I convert the Avis to Vobs using DVD Santa they freeze. Not all of them freeze but if I re-run the convert, the same clips freeze at the same point. I borrowed other Avi to DVD software and then I found different clips that were fine under DVD Santa were now freezing, and DVD Santa vobs that froze were working under the new program. I've tried several freeware packages now and not one of them will render all the vobs as error-free. After burning several DVDs and finding them freezing, I (finally) realised that the freeze was in the vobs prior to burning. That could have saved me several dvds. Am so desperate now. I have considered buying pro conversion authoring software but now am afraid to buy in case the problem still occurs. Any help would be appreciated. Apologies and thanks in advance.
Hi I've tried DVD FLick, DVD Santa, and WinAvi video converter. The Avi files seem good (they don't freeze and they are direct output from Adobe Premiere Pro) but as soon as the programs above try converting them to vobs, the vobs produced begin freezing. PS Thanks for the reply
Sorry, to answer the PC or standalone - the vobs on the pc are already showing the problem so I've given up burning. Needless to say, it was only after 5-6 dvd failures and torn hair that I realised the prob was at the early stage.
Well might as well try a few others. DVDSanta and WinAVI are not held in very high regard. Give this trial a shot. http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/ These are freeware and give you some encoder choices. http://sourceforge.net/projects/avstodvd/ http://favcfavc.googlepages.com/home http://www.trustfm.net/divx/SoftwareAvi2Dvd.html And here's a standalone converter. http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
