Hello all,
Please forgive me if this has been answered. I have had a look at the guides and done a search but nothing seems to give me the answers I am looking for and I am unwilling to download software and try things until I get a point in the right direction as a lot of this stuff is pretty new to me.
So, I downloaded an Japanes AVI and it wouldn't play in my media players. I downloaded KLite codec and now it plays fine on my PC. However, using DVDFlick and WINAVI I find that it will not convert the AVI to the VOB files I need to make my DVD.
Thanks for your help in solving this.

What do you mean by "DVDFlick and WINAVI I find that it will not convert the AVI to the VOB files I need to make my DVD."?

I have a couple of AVI's that I have downloaded but will not play on my PC because they have been encoded using an unfamiliar codec.
I need to know how to get these AVI burned onto DVD as I managed to open one with KLite codec pack and watched on my PC but the other wont open at all and I need to know the best codec to download to watch AVI on my PC.
Also, I need to know which software I need to use to burn these AVIs to a DVD.

Download GSpot, open your AVI and it will tell you what codec was used to compress the video. I am not sure what pack you have installed, if it comes with FFDShow. If it does, set it to open whatever codecs are in your AVI container.
have you tried VLC ?
Also, if DVD Flick wasn't able to open those AVIs, it is possible that the files are corrupt.

Hi again,
This avi does play with windows media player classic BUT it will not open with DVDFlick because I think a different codec ws used - possibly japanese.
The information from GSpot as follows only revels information in the container - no more information is given elsewhere.
File Type: Matroska media file (.MKV)
Mime Type: video/x-matroska
What program can I use to burn this type of file to DVD?
Thanks

What version of DVD Flick do you have, is it up to date? It should work with MKV files( that's what you have , not an AVI!)
Also you can try ConvertxtoDVD for a direct, simple conversio.
