i do have the FFDShow codec installed and a bunch of other codecs including divx, ogg, AC3..pretty much every codec i needed to play divx movies and sound..i tried uninstalling the avi2dvd program itself and doing the conversion and it still creates the same iso file..somebody help!

there wud have been a DVD folder created aswell with a VIDEO_TSand AUDIO_TS folder in it, can you tell me how big the DVD folder is?

The DVD folder (which contain the audio_ts and video_ts folders) is 0 bytes, the avi2dvd_temp itself is 86.8 MB

hi

just a thought but its said that its good to check the avi's before encoding! run it through DivFix first!

was it 1 AVI? or 2?

sorry

forgot to ask which encoder was used? and what version?

how many passes?

@wasabi916

WTF??? WAS ANY ENCODING AT ALL DONE???

no files is a bug in avi2dvd!

still working on this issue on the trust fm site!

well.... that sucks, lets hope thats fixes ASAP!

i am using avi2dvd version 0.2.8 with the HCEnc codec..it was 1 AVI..there was no option for how many passes...here's my log:

I ran it thru divfix and there were 0 errors

update: i ran a small AVI thru all the other codecs, (exluding the CCE codec)..i stil get the same thing..a small iso file and a empty DVD folder

hi there

i am useing 027 and yours is 028 and this update hasnt cured the no files on some systems bug?

for now dont rely on this app! and use like daz2712 says

film machine its the same type app! i have tried this on an AVI 4 passes, it also excepts a higher CCE to 270

on your log it looks like i think avisynth part thats cocked up? also your log looks different to mine? it says alot of MOVING files around? also link like this hasnt no / forward slashes which is odd???

hi

forgot what is the name of your AVI file?

says something in readme about this?

film CD1.avi

I'm the author of the program ;)
@daz2712 : Filmachine do not take as input DVD/OGM/MKV formats. It only supports AVI with ONE audiostream .
As freeware encoder use only quenc and is based on commercial encoders has a completely philosophy .
Avi2dvd is localized (12 languages) and has batch mode.
Since that here we are talking about avi2dvd, so just limit to find bugs and request additional features rather than comparing two completely different programs.

hi

just to say to kitsaros you have a dam good app there!

and would like to thank daz2712 for bringing it to my attention.

also kitsaros are you thinking of adding dvd to dvd converting / compressing? as this would be very very nice indeed...

and sorry forgot to mention! at least mpeg conversions?

hi i've tried ask around but still can't find the answer..i've been using avi2dvd to re-convert my AVI file to dvd..it works find for the first two job..but in final 2 jobs..it failed to create dvd folder and the iso files. Here is the logs..i cant find the flaws because it seem to encode everything correctly.:

i cant find it. The log file is the one I've posted before..and when all the jobs done..all the temporary file..is deleted as well ( i guess thats how the program works) and when i checked the output folder..there is neither dvd folder nor the iso. I guess its happen only on 3rd or latter jobs. Because when i run it again it works..except i have to go through the process (hours of waiting again). Now I'm just running not more than 2 jobs at once..for precaution and prevent me from more disappointment.

My HC encoder has been muxing audio and video for over an hour now. That can't be right after waiting three hrs for the encoder

Can someone please help me? Sorry if in wrong location.

I download a movie with uTorrent

Once downloaded I can view the whole move in entire length on Windows Media Player

I take the file and use AVI2DVD

After this is completed and I open the file in DVD Shrink the movie is shorter in length

Can someone tell me why this is and how I can correct it?

Thank you

AVI2DVD is apparently unable to recognize an audio stream in the MKV file if the audio is the first track in the file. So, if the audio is Track 1 and video is Track 2, AVI2DVD can't find an audio stream. If the video is Track 1, however, and the audio is Track 2, then AVI2DVD works just fine.

With that, I now know how to fix the .mkv files that AVI2DVD can't find an audio stream in, by unpacking and repacking the audio and video into the correct order. Here's how you can do it. You'll need the following tools:

* MKVToolnix
* MKV Extract GUI
* MatroskaDiag

1. Download and install MKVToolnix

2. Download and unzip MKV Extract GUI into the folder where MKVToolnix is installed. (the MKV Extract GUI and MKVToolnix executables need to be in the same folder).

3. Download and unzip MatroskaDiag. Put its executable anywhere you want.

4. Run MatroskaDiag. Drag your .mkv file to it. Check to see if "Track 1" is audio and "Track 2" is video. If so, then AVI2DVD probably won't be able to handle it, and you'll need to extract and repack the .mkv. Read on...

5. Run MKV Extract GUI. Specify your .mkv file for the "Input". For "Output", click the "Other" radio button and specify the directory wherever you want the extracted audio/video files to go (put it in a different directory from the source file, just to keep them separate). In the "Content" window, select both the audio and video track. Then click "Extract".

6. Run "mkvmerge GUI" (part of the MKVToolnix package). Click "add" and go to the directory where your "Output" files were stored in the last step. Find the video file that came from the extraction, and add it. Then click "add" again and add the audio file. (Look for files that have the word "Track" in them. For instance if your original file was foo.mkv, the extracted audio will probably be named something like "foo_Track1.ac3" and the video will be "foo_Track2.h264")

7. If mkvmerge warns you that it can't determine the FPS of the video file, you'll have to enter it manually. In the "Tracks" window, click the video file, then click the "Format specific options" tab. In the FPS dropdown box, enter the correct value. (Note that 30000/1001 = 29.970FPS and 24000/1001 = 23.976FPS). How do you know what value to put in? Find another utility that will read your original .mkv file and give you its FPS info. (one option is the "mkvinfo" tool that comes with MKVToolnix - open your original .mkv file in it, and hunt in the details for something that says "xxxx fps for a video track.)

8. Make sure that the video track is listed above the audio track. If they are reversed, use the "up" and "down" buttons to put the video first.

9. You may want to set other options, such as the language for both the video and audio track, and the aspect ratio for the video track. (Not sure whether all that's necessary or not...)

10. Set your output filename to something appropriate (use a .mkv extension) and click "Start Muxing".


If all goes well, you'll end up with a new .mkv file that has the video as the first track (use MatroskaDiag on it to double-check), and its audio track will be listed when you open it in AVI2DVD.

I get up to the following point and then i get a messsage saying access denied. reason?

i moved on from this app due to its bugs

dvd flick or convertxtodvd nowadays

I'm not very impressed with avi2dvd.
Tried it and didn't do the job.
Subtitles were not included. Could have something to do with the fact that another embedded program QuEnc or whatever crashed.
Anyways the software was incredibly slow and pretty awkward user interface. I wonder why all creators of movie editing software has to invent the wheel again. We have a familiar Windows user interface and expect to find a File-Edit-View menu.
And what the hell is "Choose Audiostream"? Since this is a feature that fails a lot (found a tip to reinstall - why necessary?) and apparently has no function to the user, why not just hide it?

The software was set to go before I went to bed (would apparently take some time to convert 1 AVI). When I came back the next morning, the software had frozen dead on the screen because QuEnc had crashed.
What else could I do but close that window? Still, another DOS-looking window was running in the background. Took another hour and slowed down my computer to tortoise speed.

In the end a lot of files were created and the 2 DVD folders I was expecting showed up. What do I need those other files for? Could have just been deleted if supposed to be temporary.

I spent many hours synching and correcting the subtitles, what a waste of time since they were not included.

And besides; the dvd movie made was in NTSC format even though I had selected PAL. I specifically remember clicking in the box. So, the movie will never display on my television which has a pal format dvd player connected.

So, yet another useless software program
