Well it worked on one movie. It just so happened to be a DIVX format. The one I just can't get to work it those NASTY xvid formats. Still get the same error message. "Unsupported video stream" I am trying to load some codec now to see if I can get this thing to work.. Any help out there would be appreciated.

An alternative to Santa is WinAVI, which is perhaps even simpler to use and actually gives you a little more control on some settings.

I currently use DVDSanta, which takes approx 4 hours for a 2 hour movie. Then I burn the DVD files with Nero (Who needs Menus!). I've had minor sound glitches but I love the quickness of DVD Santa.

I also encounterd the problem of getting an error message from dvd santa recently when i tried to encode an Xvid file. once i click begin i get the error and it has to close. Someone said that if i intall xvid codec 24th June 2003 which is an earlier version it should be compatable with dvd santa and not make it crash? im running dvd santa version 3.44 by the way. Any advice on this? I was also wondering if any of you winAVI users out there can tell me how you set up your output options like what you click under advanced next to the dvd button when you encode. to see if im doing things right. thanks

Ok to add onto my above post i still want to know all of that. I experimented with winAVI a little. i was asking about the config cus the first disk i burned seemed to jump a little. so i set the quality for highest next and unclicked that split thing im not sure what it does. well the file was larger than 2 megs and it wasnt able to burn it into a video ts folder. so im really curiuos as to the best config for the output? Also when i open winAVI i get a message. your system does not have the following engines or are not installed correctly. RealMedia codec 9 or higher. is that significant? if so what can i do about it?

"Just curious, bcook12, why Nero when DVD Santa will burn you a 'chapter rich' DVD????"
Mainly because I don't trust DVDSanta's burning potential. I have had no problems with burning the DVD files with Nero.
pchan424, I get the same error as you do regarding the "Real Media Codec". I don't convert real media files so it really doesn't apply to me. I'm strictly mpg and AVI. It has not affected me at all.

One other question, if anybody can help. After Winavi creates the dvdfolders what is the best program to get a simple menu on the disk. Somebody mentioned Nero Vision Express to me. Any suggestions?
Also, Are there some dvd players that automatically launch to a menu? The reason I ask is because I have one player (1 of 4) that will not read discs after I burn them. It seems as though its looking for a menu and can't load the disc without it.

I do not claim to be a expert. I use Nero6. It will take a AVI file and spit out a dvd. I send dvd's to allot of my customers ( and no it is not porn ) and I found that nero6 for me anyways is the most consistant program that allows my dvd's to be played on 99% of my customers DVD players, and I get very few coasters.

thanks for that link thedazman. ill install that codec and see if that stops dvdsanta from error messaging me. Will installing an old xvid codec like that have me lacking any features of the new codec or whats your take on it?
Also Terrabyte i have Nero 6 ultra edition and i tried for the longest time to get a dam AVI file through it and output as a dvd its way to complicated and not worth it i could never get it work correctly. the file was always to big for the dvd or it would freeze up on the encoding and such problems. dvd santa and winAVI are much much better and easier.
ill just use Nero for my cd burning and copying

hmmm Also a little strange the dvdsanta site recomends to install the latest version of xvid codec.... Maybe theres something in the xvid codec options you can change to not make dvdsanta crash. Becuase i havent played with it but i know in the program menu you can open the decoder and encoder options. Anyone know what might help the newest version of divx codec not make dvd santa crash when you try to encode xvid files?

Yeh but you get no menu animation etc etc. Very generic. Kind of boring

Downoad a piece of software called GSpot load the video into it this should then tell you the video codec needed and the audio codec needed

Hello,
VSO DivXtoDVD will convert .AVI / .MPG files to DVD in 1 step and it works very well.
http://www.vso-software.fr/
Future release will let you convert more than 1 file.
But it's still free (for now)...

Well i have WinAVI to convert the files to dvd and it works well i just want to get DVD santa working correctly. Which i still cant by the way. It still gives me an errror message on this one particular file. Ive tried the new version of dvd santa to and it still does it. I ran it through GSpot but it was pointless i already knew it was encoded with Xvid. If anyone else thinks they can offer some suggestions they would be appreciated? The main problem again was when i use dvd santa to try to encode this file into dvd format it gives me an error message every time. It does it ever now and then on other videos to.

you can recode using virtual dub then put the result through santa - it works with a small bit of quality loss
