hi there, first of all sorry if this is in the wrong part (not sure what it comes under) i have this movie on my pc, it plays great through my windows media player, so i tried putting it on a dvd disk but all that comes up is "invalid dvd directory" this is what i did, i opened winAVI converted it to a dvd file "audio and video files" then clicked on burn to disk, once i picked the file i converted, i clicked burn and that message came up all i can tell you is its a dvdrip ive never had this before like i said it plays great on media player all the way through but can put it on disk what am i doing wrong???? thanks again chris
it says invalid dvd directory so i'm guessing you converted it to a dvd movie which is right. then burnt it as a data disk which is sorta wrong. apparently your supposed to burn it in a dvd video format but i don't know how to do that but i DO know a work around.
all dvd movies have a folder called VIDEO_TS exactly how i've written it. all the movie files are in there. so what you do is you make a new dvd disc with this folder in and the movie files in that. i can't guarantee this method will play the dvd in a proper dvd player but will work on any computer dvd player guaranteed
What you need to do is get the free "Fixvts" next use that program to "open" browse where your VOB's are. Pick the first VOB and then choose "full DVD". Make sure all the blocks are checked (remove unref and blank cells,fix wrong pgc lba pointers,in place no backup). Fixvts will process all your VOBS in about 2 or 3 minutes and will make them DVD compliant.
Next use the free "dvdshrink 3.2" to open up the video_ts folder. DVDshrink will analyze the folder and if it is dvd compliant you will get no errors. Currently if you open your corrupt video_ts folder dvdshrink will report that you have "navigation errors". I always use dvdshrink only to check my video_ts files.
I've also moved away from Winavi to convertxtodvd 3.0 for my avi to dvd conversions, it bypasses me from using "fixvts" on all my conversions. But "fixvts" will do the trick everytime with winavi.
