    I am trying to convert and burn an .avi file. I followed the instructions and used Avi2Dvd to convert to an .iso and then Dvd decrypter to burn to DVD. When I play it on my computer it works. When I put it on a standalone DVD recorded/player. The screen jumps up and down. You can see the picture and hear the sound. But it constantly jumps.
    I also used DVD shrink and DivxtoDVD with the same results

    try using a dvd authoring program like Nero Vision express, Power Producer or WinDVD Creator...

    a program like this should have come with your dvd burner and will not only allow you to transcode your avi to dvd but also enable you to create menues and the such, if you do not have one, i recommend...

    Hi there,

    Did you generate PAL video, and you need NTSC in your Region ?

    Use quality media (Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Maxell [bold]Made In Japan[/bold])

    Burn slow, x2.0 or x4.0 Max

    I do not know the answer to your question. But I've had a heck of time using Winavi to convert AVI to DVD.

    It turns out that my Sylvania DVD player will not play PAL DVD's at all, generating an immediate error that the "playback function is disabled!"

    However, your player may make _some_ attempt to play the PAL DVD, even it requires the NTSC format.
