dealing with a avi/dvd conversion. Done it 2 different ways, but both do not play on my tvtop dvd player (panasonic). Here is what I did. 1. Converted avi/dvd with VSO DIVXtoDVD, Created ISO w/imgtool, Burned it w/DVD DECRYPTER. Plays on pc but not tvtop player. 2. Converted avi/dvd with VSO DIVXtoDVD, burned w/ASHAMPOO BURNING STUDIO 5. This also produced the same thing. What am I missing or doing wrong? thnx..
thnx for replying rebootjim. I used ridata/ritek 4x dvd-r media to burn on. I did a backup of lotr3 direct from a dvd w/DVDSHRINK and it plays fine on the Panny. Only the avi conversions don't play. After looking at the competed burn of the dvd and the avi conversion. I noticed that the conversion doesn't have a VIDEO_TS.VOB file like the dvd burn one has. Why is that...? Is this why it isn't playing? Do I have to create one or should it play without it? Sorry for all the questions. Thnx
If VSO didn't completely build the DVD structure, that's why they don't play. You cannot just manually build the .vob, sorry. Take a note of what you think went wrong (no .vob) and submit it to the folks at VSO. After all, it is only beta software, and free. There are plenty of other ways to encode and author avi's.
