I have converted several AVI files to mpeg and then from mpeg to dvd, burnt them off to blank dvd disks and they will not play on my dvd player but will play on others, whereas my player plays copied dvds as i know from buying them previous to trying to burn them myself. What am i doing different/wrong?

What media are you using? Have you tried using avi2dvd and skipping the step of changing to mpeg?

two things are possible:

1. media
2. software

about media and compatibility:

there are plenty of reasons why certain dvds won't play in other players:

1. burning speeds: burn at 4x so there will be less writing errors (rule of thumb is to burn at half the rated speed of the disk--8X disk burn at 4x).
2. read manual for your stand alone player and use the disks that will play in your player. If your player is less than 2 yrs old then it should play the + or - R disks! I said SHOULD that's why you read the manual.
3. try booktyping your drive to DVd-ROM so it will make your +R disks more compatible to players. Read this:
http://k-probe.com/bitsetting-booktype-faq.php
4. make sure that there are no finger prints or scratches on your disk that make it hard for the player to read the disk!
5. use good quality media (rule of thumb....buy the ones that are Made in Japan.) Verbatim is a top notch disk and is the only exception to this rule....some Verbatims are made in Taiwan and they are top notch!
6. and don't burn too close to the outer edge of the disk ..... which will make the disk unreadable! but using good media you will be able to burn close to the edge better than lesser quality media. Just in case I only burn no closer than 4400MB, so if you can set your programs to that, all the better!

follow these little tips of the trade and you'll have better success! good luck.

why the +R media is better than the -R media

about software:

I use ConvertXToDVD...... it's great for converting AVI files to DVDs!
http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/

Nero can do a great job, too:

you should be able to convert your AVI file to DVD compliant all in one step! If the program isn't doing it for you then there's a reason! use better software.....
