    Hi
    Here is my problem... I have been burning movies for a while, although not completely understanding all the ins and outs. I have recently bought an mpeg-4 player, to save me sitting in my office and watching movies! I download avi files, normally divx and this is where the wheels start to come off, I then use copy2dvd to burn the movies onto a dvd-r disc (although I have tried others, but this seems to be the easiest) everything seems fine until I try to play the disc... some movies work perfectly and some don't work at all.I was advised to buy DR Divx , which I did, and this solved the not working issue, but then gave me audio that was about 3 secs out of sync! or no audio at all. I think it is probably something to do with the way the audio was encoded when the movie was made, but I need help identifying which ones won't work (to save discs!) and how I get around the audio sync thing.
    Thanks

    tingopher,

    Bear in mind that it's a download, you might not have everything you need -

    Try TMPGEnc or TMPGEnc DVD Author to see if they can help -

    So basically run the file through TMPGEnc without stripping out audio and all that sort of malarky. I have noticed the the audio bps has a bearing on it, the higher the number the more likely the movie is to work?
