Hi cornalee:

What other formats did you succeed in?

 

i can convert to mpeg i have try to convert mpeg to dvd but the same problem happens

 

hi,

Try to download divtodvd from link here: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_encoders/vso_divxtodvd_free.cfm.
Use this programme for you avi convertion and it is free.

 

if you can convert to mpeg whats the problem.Mpeg2 is the format you require to be able to get your project to disc.VSO divx to dvd has been suggested and does a very good job.It sounds like its not the encoder but the burning app that you are having issues with.What one are you using?

 

i am using nero 7 to burn them to disc i think it is my hard drive that is cos in me the problems my pc crashed not that long ago and i could use winavi and nero with no problem to convert files its just now that it is havin problems

 

have you always used nero7 or is it since you upgraded to nero 7.I'M STILL USING 6.? THE RECODE VERSION

 

no i installed nero 7 myself i vould copy files to dvd with nero 6 reload so i'll give that a try and tell u what happens thanks for ur help

 

cool let us know if it works and if it does maybe we need to asses why the upgrade doesnt work.Did you uninstall the older version before you installed the newer version with that nero removal tool or did you just overlay the new on the old

 

tryed nero 6 reloaded but still no luck crashes still tryed to convert with winavi to mpeg-2 but same problem installed nero 7 ultra but same problem to it has just been a fresh install of windows xp pro sp2 install on wednesday there only the drivers install nothing else .. what u think

 

when you did the clean install what drivers did you put in?

 

i install the motherboard thats all then tryed it but i need to same problem so i formated it again to try it with windows pro without sp2 but still no luck i really do think its my hard drive u should hear the noise it makes with the disc spinin every time i try to install on to it it restarts or the screen goes blank ... think that could be what up xp coould be install over a bad sector ...

Thanks For All ur help

after you re formatted you should of installed xp service pack2

then the mother board drivers
then the graphic card drivers
then the sound card drivers
then your internet.

Once the internet is running, go to microsoft and download all the updates
Next install your virus software and get all those updates.

Do a virus check.After the check install your burning software, and any other program you wanted .

dONT do half a job as you may find you need to reformat again as all the relevant drivers werent installed properly

 

hi i will reformat i will all what u said to do there what do u think will be the best to in install xp pro xp home with sp2 or xp pro corp with sp2 all originals not copys


Greg

 

i remember something every time i try to install xp on to my hard drive i always gety a message stay that a file is missin and xp cant start up so i need to do a full format instead of a quick one

 

its better to do it slow and steady.Make sure you do everything right the 1st time.If you still have problems after the install then we may need to start looking at your hard ware

 

ok i'll let u no .. before my comp crashed i could convert file no problem but i'll format and let u no ...

 

can you remember putting anythiong on prior to the crash

 

hi just reinstall windows xp with sp2 did every thing u said but guess what the same think happen mate i had a problem installin xp i couldnt install it took me about 10 time to install it so i think my hard drive is dun in what to u think mate

Hi Greg,

What Mgr is your HD ?

Companies such as Western have diagnostic proggys that you can run to check your HD, you might try and find one.

Next, how much "Free" space do you have on your HD ?

Do you have a 2nd HD you can use for your video work ?

Finally, I'd like you to try DivxToDVD2. It's available for a week trial then it's $29.99.

You just "drag" your files into the window and click "Convert" and it renders your files then burns it to disc, all automatically. A most excellent proggy.

Let me know what you come out with.
