this is weird, ive burned alot of avi files onto dvd and they work perfect when i put them in the dvd players, but the last 2 ive tried to burn the video is fine, but the sound is messed up, it sounds like a cassette tape being eaten in a car radio or something, is the avi file bad?... even though its fine on the PC. or do i need to do something on the dvd burner that im missing?....i just use Nero 7 to burn all my dvds. please , if you can help me out with this little issue i would appreciate it alot, thx a bunch.
Open the output folder with your media player and verify that the sound is ok.
If everything is ok, either burn the folder to DVD with Nero and test the disk or use ImgBurn to burn the output folder to disk.
Run ImgBurn
Mode > 'Build'
Output > 'Device'
File > 'Browse for Folder', highlight on the 'VIDEO_TS' folder, > 'OK'
Set burning speed to 4x and click the green write button.
Use only media that says 'made in Japan' or 'Verbatim'.
I am frustrated. Once I was able to convert files from AVI (Xvid) and burn DVDs using Nero. Recently doing this gives me good video but muffled sound (echo chamberish) on two different DVD players. The disks work fine on my computer.
The only thing I can think of is that my computer and my AVI files use a codec that isn't part of the DivX standard used by the conversion software I've tried.
The files I've used lately are movies (by AXXO) which I thought were among the better ones obtained using BitTorrent.
Do you have an AVI that was previously converted that you can reconvert and see if the problem is now apparent on the standalone player?
If you find a problem with the previously good file, then something has changed on the PC.
If everything is good, then the new files are the problem.
You can drag AVI files onto GSpot and look at the Audi codec to see if old and new files differ (it is the audio, right?)
