Thanks for the sales pitch Scuba Pete. I just tried the trial version but the finished file has got a big Trial Version DivXtoDVD moniker at the top of the file. I suppose with the untrial version that thing won't be there.
BTW I enjoyed reading reading your dvdshrink and dvddecrypter guides way back when. I still have the printouts always sitting in front of me. You're actually quite a legend and thanks for taking the time out to help me.
Cheers

OK I haven't heard from you for a while so I'll just update you on what's happened. As you recall I wanted a recommendation for a burner but then I got this thing from Scuba Pete about VSO DivXtoDVD which you already recommended.
I have now got the DIVXTODVD2 with a serial number and my computer loves it. I have been encoding and burning all weekend and not once was there any out of sync problems. So, it seems, this chapter has come to an end with a positive outcome.
Thank you so much andmerr for all your time spent helping me. I have enjoyed our time on this post and I wish you well and maybe sometime we will meet again on this great site.
Thanks again
Steven

thats ok creaky you helped in spirit.Maybe next time.
@phoenix11: good job, now it gets easier and easier when burning as you have a system in place that works for you.
You might like to consider getting a re author program that will allow you to add menus and such to add that little bit more to your project.
have fun

That's what I liked about Nero. It had menus. Can you recommend a good re-author program?

phoenix11,
I'm glad you and DivxToDVD2 are getting along (I kind of thought you would :D)
As for a good (actually, better than good) re-author proggy ?
DVDLab. (30-day trial, $99.99) A full-function re-author program designed for the novice who wants his work to lQQk professional. Nothing more to be said. The program will sell itself. Fantastic effects with the simplicity and ease of operation that makes it popular by those people "in the know".

Enjoy,

well guess what! i am not having so much luck with my burning. i have read through this a couple times now and downloaded divxtodvd2 and tried running it thru it. got to 44.2% and stopped. kinda getting to the stge or ripping the dvd burner from its limb and installing a 1 1/4" floppy drive to spite myself!! HAHAHAHA. dont believe that compaq or hp would have this program (sonic mydvd plus) on this computer if it dont work. and i dont think that Nero would only be 'compatible' with some computers. i mean the thing is a couple of hundred bucks. anyway guys anything that you can think of i'm not doing right. is it speed? is it firmware? i know what ya meant by the burner drive not existing Phoenix11. cant find dick about it anywhere. LG dont even aknowledge it! i got a trial of clone dvd and tried using that too. it burns 100% sucessful apparently but sticking it in the stand alone dvd player it does the skipping thing and back in the computer i burnt it on, same thing!

hi poggy, think we need to start from the beginning then.
1.What are your pc stats?(include o/s /hardware/harddrives/burners etc
2.what is the file type.IS it one you downloaded from the net or is it a dvd that you are trying to back up?
3.What software have you got on your pc for encoding,burning, and any that bypass the css encyptions.
4.What media are you using?
5.have you upgraded the firmware on your burner?
6.what speed have byou been burning at?
7..Have you done a defrag recently?
8.CAN YOU DOWNLOAD avicodec, run your file through it if its downloaded and then post the results .
9.Anything you think that we need to know mention as well.The more indepth the better
Iknow this is a lot to ask but it may be neccessary if we are to help you.

ok here goes - i have the exact same system as pheonix11. i mean exactly. ok now burners, i have - Nero 6 ultra, sonic (my dvdplus), DVD Decrypter, divxtodvd2, dvd prolab, super dvd copier, clone dvd, magic iso, AVI synth 2.5 (what ever that is) now i burnt a dvd off a ripped one this morning. it was a small file only about 740Mb and it worked ok through DivxtoDVD2, except the audio sync is out bout a second. i selected the speed to burn at x2.4 but in the log it shows 'x4 requested: x4 finalized' so i'm guessing it decided to burn at that rate. its happening with both ripped dvd's and copies i've put in to be decrypted. i know nothing about uninstalling the firmware, cant' even find information on the burner drive (as pheonix11 was saying) i know its an LG but looking on their website, there's no mention of it at all. i even tried using double layer discs to hopefully help but they aint working either. i'll find that file your talking about and run one or two through and post the result. thanks dude!

Reading all about Roxio on both of these PC's, I wish they would get rid of them.
Andrew, ask our friend how much free HD space he has on his system ALSO, how much free RAM ?

when was the last time you did a clean install off your system.
You seem to have an abundance of burning apps, do you use all of them? or are they accumulated and you just havent got around to uninstalling them?

sorry dude for the delays in reply, my email is playing up and i dont always get notified of emails. as for the the apps, yeah they have accumulated just sorta covering my bases really. update is i have figured out how to burn dvds from ripped ones (divxtodvd) but the back up ones i'm trying are still playing games. i'm gonna have another crack at it tonight but dont know what program to use! Nero should work bu then again so should dvdclone. any ideas?

not neccessarily true i'm afraid.There is some contention that the more burning apps that you have on your pc can or will eventaully lead to your pc getting an overlaod and this may account for the lack of burning thats occurring.
i do a backup of my system every 6 months or so as the stuff really does accumulate.When this happens i found that my system would go slow, i would have trouble burning dvds etc.
I think i had about 50 burning and encoding apps loaded.

true! man thats alot of apps. well i've figured out the ripped dvd side of things, they seem t be going good. its the 'back-up' copies i've got on here that aren't burning right. i used to DVD Decrypter to copy onto the computer (and everything is fine. its plays on the pc fine) i have tried buring with Nero and clone dvd but they are both burning with a skip in them. the sound and visual jumps. i've looked at the buring speed and the slowest they give you is 4x, which i use. you know of any good apps that with burn a decrypted dvd onto a disc? (by the way, i'm not buring all the files from each dvd, just the main movie one cos of size, that matter?)

One of the things I did was a complete reinstall of windows via the recovery tools. A friend of mine said that the sonicdvd preinstalled on the pc, when activated, can play havoc with other apps. So I uninstalled the whole sonicdvd thing as part of my solution. My stuff works great now, am using divxtodvd2 registered version to convert and Nero burning to burn. I do not use Nero vision express at all because DivXtoDVD is really the only converter you need. If it doesn't work for you, try the winavi converter which is on a par with the DivXtoDVD. If at all possible stay away from Nero vision express. Before this problem, Nero Vision Express was the ONLY application I ever used and I was very reluctant to let it go but I did, and there's no regrets.
BTW dvdtodivx has an inbuilt burner that you can use to burn your files instead of Nero.Just go to options, burning, and tick burn result to dvd. Winavi also has its own burner, and DVD Decrypter will also burn your vobs.
