Need a bit more info, are you trying to backup your DVD or burn downloaded video (what format) that may need encoding first? And not connected probably but use good quality media like Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim or any made in Japan and burn at 1/2 the rated speed.

Never heard of Omega, maybe someone else has. Meanwhile, here's a quality chart to go over: http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm You need to encode those first for DVD, DVD Flick is free, here's a fairly involved guide to get the basic's down, never used it but have found the main thing is to start with good quality video and also ensure the region (PAL or NTSC) is correct. http://beginwithsoftware.com/videoguides/dvd-flick-guide.html

Good advice.

Do ignore this part in the guide though and use a more reasonable speed, at least 8X - 12X with 16X media.

To change to the desired speed,
launch "c:\Program Files\DVD Flick\imgburn\imgburn.exe", and set "Write speed" to "1x", "2x", etc (red arrow) on the "Device" tab (green arrow). Close "ImgBurn".

The reviews also help to determine which media gives the best results.

How's it going, were you able to get into ImgBurn and set your speed? Max is definitely too fast and at least part of the problem. And remember that too slow is as bad as too fast. Maybe try to open ImgBurn before you start DVD Flick.

I'm sure it's something simple but never used DVD Flick so don't know. The avi contain's the audio already, doesn't it play before you convert? Set DVD Flick to create a DVD folder rather than an iso and don't let it burn the result. Check the vob's (should be 3, 4, 5 in main movie) in the folder first to make sure they are alright and then burn the folder, ImgBurn burn's these as well. ConvertXtoDVD is one you can trial, not free but easy to use with very good result's (fast with excellent qualiity). Has it's own burn engine that has alway's worked fine here but you can download and burn with ImgBurn. The trial is going to leave a watermark in your video though.

Here's another freebie I've only heard about you can have a look at, Avi2DVD: http://www.trustfm.net/divx/SoftwareAvi2...2DvdGuides&b2=1 I think Avidemux encode's too.

ConvertXToDVD with good blank media -- that's the key here!
