I used to use Nero to do all my tv AVI burning, after much trouble I finally switched to VSO Convert X to DVD, which I love. Overall I am exceptionally happy with this program. The only area I am having trouble is burning animated avis. I finally got it to work on a few episodes of newer avis [spongebob], but still cannot get it to work on older animations such as Looney Tunes. Anyone have any advice/tricks? I tried different settings too numerous to mention. I make sure computer is defragged on a very regular basis, and have over 150 gb free, nothing else running in the background during encoding, only Verbatim DVD-R for burning. I currently am using VSO ConvertXtoDVD v2017. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
I load the avis, and begin the transcoding process as usual. If I read the message log at the bottom of the program, it gives a message during 1 or more of the episodes that the stream did not produce any data. I can load the exact same 8 episodes, and it will not do it to the same episode, but will do it to a different episode the next time. At the end of the transcoding process, it says that 1 or more streams didn't work, and it stops without burning [thankfully saving me a DVD coaster]. It ONLY does this with animated avis. Sometimes it will take me 4-5 times to get a particular project to finally record, and at times I've tried 9-10 times and finally just given up and deleted the files. The files play fine on my computer with WMP with the FFDShow audio and video codecs. To be honest, I think I've pretty much given up on animated avis. I just wondered if it was something on my computer, or if other people had experienced the same problems.
In that case, there are a couple of things you can try:
1) Try use another encoding program (e.g. WinAvi).
2) Try run the avis through a video converting program (using the same settings or convert into something else such as mpeg), then encode with VSO again.

What version of ConvertXtoDVD are you running ?
There has been lots of issues since v2.1.1.15x came out.
I think what you experienced has been resolved (In some cases) in the new ßeta version, so stay tune, a fix is coming !
