Maybe there's something wrong with your DVD-burner? It should be straight forward to burn video files to a DVD. What programme do you use for burning DVDs? Try using another programme? Have you had this problem a long time or is this something that has showed up recently?
What writing speed do you use? Maybe you could try using a slower speed. I haven't encountered this problem before. On the hand, I mostly use external USB HDD...

I use too use another program but I so forget what that program was I have to say I didn`t want or need to burn a dvd for awhile now since i would just put stuff on to a usb drive and plug it into my roku player...


I try to use windows burning software that came with my windows 7 laptop (i burn other dvd no issue what so ever) also try burnstuffforfree software, I dont know the speed..

I just think I need another burning software but I can`t seem to find a good free one that does not leave watermarks on my videos ....

With my old laptop I had problems burning to some brands of CD or DVD... have you tried different brands of DVD?

Take a look at DVD Coach Express, it claims to do avi to DVD with no watermark.. I've not used it myself.

Or convert it to a different format and try.

Some of the free ware has a time limit. You only get a select number of uses then no sound. Have you tried using DVDFAB or Nero? You can get both for free using a torrent downloader. You can also get a trial version of Nero from the web site .

I never heard of DVDFAB i will try that slimjim I download yours as well , I use any video convert and it worked and keep the file looking great like it did on my laptop , I just wish i could think of what i use to use it was not free ware .......but at least now i got the job done and I can make more if i want 2. Thanks !!!!!!!!!!

Dear Hammervice,

You have taken so much of your valuable time and spent so much care on your uploads to GH. Kindly let me take this opportunity to properly thank you for your efforts. As always, they are very much appreciated. Keep up the excellent work!

Here are two answers to your question about burning .avi files to DVD. If you are on the Mac platform, they may not help, though. I really hope they WILL help and inspire not only you, but other GH members as well.

PLAN A:

If I'm not mistaken, Windows DVD Maker Live in Windows 7 takes an .avi file and burns it directly. If your version does not, just import the file into Windows Movie Maker and set the output to .wmv, encode the film, and then import the .wmv to Windows DVD Maker and burn. You will have almost no control over the output, though.

PLAN B: NOTE: There is useful info in here for mobile users who need to convert video file formats.

This is a bit time-consuming but once you understand it, it will give you superb, professional-quality results for free. Your efforts will be greatly rewarded.

Tip: Before you get into this, use Goggle to study file formats, codecs, bit rates, frame rates, aspect ratio, etc. Knowledge is power. After all, we all love digital video and the more we know, the more we can enjoy its awesome capabilities. Take your time before proceeding. It will save you difficulties later.

1. Download SuperConverter (FREE download with no time limits and frequent free updates). Google it to get the link. Warning: the web page is not explicit and you may have to try a few times to find the right links (I can help you with this if you need it). Superconverter is very powerful, and even though the interface is only one screen and the learning curve is somewhat steep, it gives you total control over every aspect of your conversion to other formats. It can also record real-time streams, both video and audio, provided you have access rights (we never want to encourage copyright infringement here, do we?).

2. Open it, customize it according to your taste, import your video, and then double-click on it to bring up an analysis. That will show you frame rate, codecs, bit rates, aspect ratios, etc.

3. Select matching frame rates, bit rates, etc. on the main screen for your output. Select an output format (.wmv9 with wma Pro audio is an excellent choice). Picking frame rates and bit rates higher than your source material won't buy you better quality and will just slow down encoding. There's no way in this program to "enhance" quality. But the right decisions will perfectly render a conversion to another format with absolutely no loss in quality. You can resize to a larger image, although going hog wild with this will disappoint you.

4. Convert the file. Even huge HD files convert amazingly quick, depending on your hardware (this is an x386 app, though; I can't get it to run faster in 64-bit Windows 7 Pro). If there's a problem with your file, it will fail but alert you to the problem and give you suggestions (which rarely work, because the program is so good it seems to know how to fix most problems ahead. I have used Super to convert many problem videos and it seems to magically heal them). Some files are either already damaged when uploaded or get damaged during the upload or download. That is an ongoing hazard. There are movie clips I really want and can't find an upload that isn't corrupted. That's life.

5. Import the converted file into your favorite burner and go!

6. This is a free and deceivingly simple but very sophisticated app that can do it all. I use it for all my conversions, including audio formats and HD widescreen prep for DVD authoring in full 1080p. I have even used it to encode my original creations in UltraPanavision 70, with an aspect ratio of 2.76:1 in HD, something Hollywood couldn't have done when that anamorphic film format was used in the 1960s and 1970s. Since you can custom specify the output resolution and aspect ratio, you can even encode in 4K if your hardware can handle it!

7. The developer is totally committed to keeping up with new stuff. The program will alert you when a new update is available and then you can do that right away with one click (uninstall the old version first, then reboot before installing). SuperConverter is constantly adding file formats (especially mobile), codecs, and bug fixes (there are amazingly few). It's just as good if not better than $500 software, minus the pretty face. I have tested SuperConverter against Adobe Premiere side-by-side for encoding, and the results are just about identical.

Plan B can help you take control of almost all video file format and burning issues. DIVX converts fine. The problem of Real Video (.rm, .rmv) remains. The format is incredibly incompatible and stubborn, and conversions don't come out that well with any software that I am aware of. They should just drop it and move on. They lost the race years ago.

Thanks again for your care and generosity! Keep up the great work. You are Gay Heaven itself!

If your just making back-up or storing files on DVD, try this...

I literally burned thousands of DVD's using this program...

On Mac OS X, DVD Creator by Xilisoft takes .avi (and many other formats) directly. Easy to use, and no issues at all.
