burning dvd

[Guest]

Hi, I am about to pull my hair as i have tried everything nad nothing has
worked so far. I have a sony pc with dvd burner and it has click to dvd. i
imported a video from my sony camcorder and edited it using MM2, saved the
movie to my computer as dv avi and then imported it to click to dvd, burned
the dvd, movie quality is great but no sound. i downloaded Canopus file
converter to convert dv avi type 1 to type 2. the conversion stops with a
messege that "your destination avi has not been written completely verify the
result before deleting the source file".
What should i do, what is it that i m not doing right.
Thanks, Cheers

That is the major issue with Click2DVD. You need the AVI2 type file to make
a DVD.
This also just recently came up in another post and I directed the poster to
check out the DVD Authoring programs listed in the "DVD Programs" section of
my website. Most of them offer free trial downloads that work perfectly and
they will work with the AVI 1 files as well as WMV if you prefer. I
recommend you download one of the trials, Ulead is by far my favorite, and
use that to create your DVD.

Thank you so much for getting back to me so fast. i have downloaded the free
trial of ulead movie factory 4. i know it may sound silly, but i feel i am
losing my mind as i have been on this since last week and got nowhere. now
that i have ulead and my video file captured and edited in MM2 saved as
DV-AVI, when i want to create dvd using ulead, when i go to import the file i
get a messege that ulead does not support the format. what am i doing wrong?
thanks

Good for you to get Movie Factory! Click2Dvd is gathering dust way in the
back of my computer somewhere... ha ha I'm surprised that you were unable
to import a DV-AVI file made from within Movie Maker....i've never had that
happen. Make sure you are using your originally rendered Movie Maker file,
and not the file you made with Canopus...that might be the problem. If you
have saved your project, i'd bring it back into Movie Maker and save the
movie again as DV-AVI and re-try. It shouldn't fail, but if it does again,
I would save the file as 'high quality-ntsc' (wmv) format and import that
with little loss of quality into Movie Factory. Good luck!

thanks for the reply, i was doing something wrong then, however, i was able
to import that AVI file and burned the DVD. but then i could not play the dvd
in window media player but was able to play it in my dvd player, the quality
was not good, there was problem with sound like it kept pausing and the same
with picture. what am i doing wrong now. please help and thanks a million.

The most likely reason for this to happen is if you were using too many
resources while creating the DVD.
Generally what I do is disable any background programs before creating the
DVD making sure to also disable the screensaver. Then while my DVD is
rendering and burning I leave the computer completely alone and don't do any
multitasking.
Otherwise if you have the quality settings set low to make a longer video
fit on the DVD quality, obviously, will suffer.
Another possibility, although not quite as likely, is that you are using a
poor quality disk.

Hi there....Wojo has hit on the possibilities of creating that bad disk.
Don't get frustrated, because this all does get better as you go along!
After a while you find all kinds of work arounds and little tricks, even if
it all does stretch the brainpower to its limits! ha ha Were you able to
'play' your movie in a player (i.e. Media Player, Real Player, or QuickTime)
BEFORE you authored and burned it with Movie Factory? It is possible that
the problem existed before you did the dvd, since you only mention trying to
play the dvd on your computer. You can play your rendered movie on most
players....for dvd on my computer I use a program called PowerDVD, but I
seldom use it for my own 'saved' movies which are on one of my hard drives.
If your rendered movie is bad, then a lack of resources could cause the
stuttering in your movie. Its possible your movie is too long or complex to
be accurately rendered on your computer. What I do, is to make 'short'
clips as rendered videos and then put them together inside of Movie Factory
to combine them. That accomplishes other favorable aspects, such as being
more efficient to load a project for changing/editing and quicker on the draw
to re-render any of those smaller clips. Good luck.
