Ok I tried for the first time the other day to burn an avi file to DVD using DVDSanta. First I converted it to dvd format or whatever (which took 7 hours or so overnight) and then it gave me the option to burn it with DVDSanta with "Trial version" or something in the picture because I haven't purchased the program yet. I am using DVD-R discs. I just tried to play the dvd in my Sony player hooked up to my tv and it won't play. Am I misunderstanding the ability to burn dvd's? Are there programs that will allow me to burn these movies to disc and play them on most dvd players? Any thoughts much appreciated. Thanks :)

ive read a few posts about people using dvd santa and not getting results that they want, i would suggest using DivX to DVD by VSO easy to use and good results.

You aren't misunderstanding anything. Most sony products are made to disregard dvd+-r media. Try it in another player. What are the specs on your pc? I've converted AVI to DVD using Santa with no problem in about 45 mins hundreds of x's.

I'd have to Agree with Dude2099, DivXToDVD is Fabulous although now it's called "ConvertXToDVD" and you can DL a free trial version at:
http://vso-convertxtodvd.en.softonic.com/ie/48882
But it has a watermark on the trial version
So what can you do with ConvertXToDVD??? Well...
Quote:
ConvertXtoDVD supports most popular formats such Xvid, MOV, VOB, Mpeg, Mpeg4, MP4, AVI, WMV, DV and stream formats. It converts your video files into a compliant DVD and burns it on a DVD media.
The aspect ratio can be automatically selected or fitted to a specific format. The program works for NTSC and PAL video formats and creates chapters automatically. Multiple audio tracks are supported (AC3, DTS, PCM, OGG, MP3, etc). Version 2 uses a completely rewritten interface with subtitles support and a lot of new settings.
Other key features include:
Quote:
? Supported sources: existing files from digital camcorders, TV/Sat, capture cards
? Can merge up to 4 hours of material from several movies or episodes
? Handles subtitles files (.SRT .SUB/IDX) with color and font selection, and supports tags (italic, bold)
? Picture output: Widescreen, Fullscreen, or automatic
? Fast preview mode to check if the source is loaded correctly
? Save the DVD structure on hard drive or burn it to a blank DVD
? Reliable burn engine integrated (supports all DVD formats)
? Fast and quality encoder (typically less than 1 hour for converting 1 movie)
? Control of the conversion speed vs quality
? DVD Menu control (auto-start, loop etc)
? DVD Menu edition (background, fond, color)
? Customizable interface (themes, dockable windows)
VSO ConvertXtoDVD is neither affiliated with, nor using technology from Divx Networks!
? Limitations:
· The trial version will integrate a watermark into the DVD
? Languages:English, Spanish, German, French
So there you have it!!! This is a great program that has support also built right into it (view support forum at:
http://www.cdr-zone.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=27&sid=0151fea5acc3...
or look it up on this great forum site (afterdawn) and trust me you wont be sorry you grabed this 1 as I've looked and looked for a good way to transfer all the fantistic stuff I've found on torrent sites to DVD disc's and watch on my TV and this is the best/simplest 1 I could find!!!
Good Luck and Godspeed

What kind of computer do you have? Specs, that is? 7 hours seems like an awful long time.
Who is that shadowy figure?

Thanks for all the help. I been too busy to check back here but I'm about to try the VSO program I dl'd and I will definitely try the other disc I burned with DVDSanta on a non-sony dvd player. Oh, and I'm rather embarassed to share that I'm using a 1999 Emachine with a Celeron 633 processor and 19x mb of memory and a 14.2gb hd. :-D Hey, at least I "upgraded" and finally went to win2k from WinME! Had enough of that $h!t
