Hey guys, I am a newbie not only to the forums but to all this converting crap as well. I did a search for my question and did not see it anywhere so I apologize if this is a repeated question or if I'm violating some sort of etiquette.

The problem: I am trying to convert an avi to an MPEG -2 so that I can burn it to a DVD to watch in my DVD player. I have tried using Blaze Media Pro without success and so I came here and downloaded DVD Shrink, but was told that the program doesn't do avi's? Nero vision express 2 says that it doesn't like the file format. So then I looked through the guides here and downloaded TMPGEnc and followed the guide. When I get to the last step ("Make sure the Start encoding immediately is selected and click Next and go to sleep, TMPGEnc will now encode the video file and this can take up to 20hrs (or even more with slower machine") and try to convert, I get an error message that says: "Index of scan line is out of range (348)" I don't care THAT much if something will take a long time, I just want it to work.

Comp. specs: Win XP Home Ed., SP 1 version 2002, Dell Optiplex Dimension 2350, Pentium 4 2.20 GHz, 256 MB RAM

I am really new to this and am trying my best to learn, so please be kind and give me remedial-type answers :)
any help at all will be well-appreciated!

Try using "Copy to DVD" from VSO

http://www.vso-software.fr/download.php

It's a trial so you will have to uninstall it and delete reg files for it.

(Don't try deleteing the reg files if you are unure on how to do it.)
