I am trying to convert some videos on my computer so I can burn them onto DVD's.

I am following the guide on how to do this. But once I get to the step to open up the .avi file in TMPGEnc, I go to browse then to the file and it comes up saying "C:/xxxxx/xxxx/xxxxx/avi can not be open or unsupported"

I've tried a few others and they work, but I can't get these ones to work.

Ive had that problem b4. I think it's just a matter of your rig not having the right codecs for that PROGRAM, not neccesarily in general. Try the ACE pro codec pack or the klite pack....

Try this "Go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "VFAPI Plugins" and Raise the "Direct show Multimedia File Reader" to "2" and now try loading in the AVI file and it should Load as Long as you have the Correct codec installed which you should if you can watch the File in Media Player.....

Also when useing TMPGEnc you should allways decompress the audio in your AVI files before encodeing them with TMPGEnc...This will make Files more Compatible and will fix problems that TMPGEnc has with some Audio formats....

You can download a Tool for decompressing the audio in your AVI Files before encodeing in TMPGEnc here:

Thanks guys. I did what you said Raze and it worked after that.
But then I realized that I can only fit one per cd (unless I compress it somehow) It was a TV Show. Single Episodes. So I changed my mind and I'm not going to do that anymore. Just for movies that I download and wanna make DVD's instead.

Thanks for the help tho, muchly appreciated.

My suggestion: since you're not speaking of a great quality movie (it comes from an AVI) a good thing to do could be:

1) convert the AVI --> MPEG-1 VCD
2) author a single-layer DVD containing 4500 MB of VCD movie (double if you're able to burn a double-layer DVD).

Read http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/vcd_to_dvd-r.cfm which will teach you how to do it, if you need it. Just the 'DVD authoring' misses detailed explnations, also DVD Lab could be used. Look a tutorial in http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/svcd_to_dvdr_from_img.cfm (it speaks of MPEG-2 SVCD movies, but with MPEG-1 VCD movies should be the same)

If you don't believe me fully, try doing a conversion than to watch the movie on your PC. Remember: 4500 MB = 450' movie any you'll be able to fit lot of VCD movies on a DVD, as you asked).
