Well im guessing its the disk. Its the Staple brand but the manufacture is CMC Magnetics Corp.
Im no sure what you meant by the media code, so i just copied the whole media code block

No further investigation needed. CMC have no right manufacturing media. All they do is create products that cause problem after problem such as this. Afraid you need to buy decent brand name media, but this won't cost any different to the rubbish disks, you just gotta shop around.

I would say your guess is more than likely correct. CMC Mag IMHO is the worst media made period and has caused more problems than any other media out there. I think most will agree. For vidio reproduction you need good, high quality, proven media. Any media will work for data and file backups but I wouldn't even trust CMC Mag for that.
Some good media (in order of preferance) is verbatum datalifeplus, genuine taiyo yuden, maxell, fuji, sony, ricohjpn, branded ritek ridata. Stay away from memorex, no name, and retail store branded media (staples, comp usa, etc.).

@Mpmajor - it would be good to rule out some of the basics -
download Nero info-tool from here - http://www.snapfiles.com/get/neroinfo.html
Run it, note down the following, and paste here. Here's what mine shows -
click on the drive tab, note down the firmware version in case it's in need of updating-
click on configuration tab, note down the DMA fields, ie on or off
it may be worth clicking on the aspi tab, and note down anything that might be missing
As to ASPI, i'm still not 100% whether it's needed in XP, no matter how many times i read up on it, i'm still none the wiser.
I've always installed it and it doesn't make things worse, plus i never read about installing it making problems so that's good enough for me.
It's good to rule things out in case you get quality media & start wasting those too, due to setup problems.

I don't believe the cause of the blocks is due to media. When you convert an AVI, the framerate changes and the blocks are a result of the changes made during the transcoding process.

Even if the media being used isn't causing the problem at hand, CMC Magnetics will more than likely cause other playback problems, if not now down the road.
Do you have the green squares when you play the folder on your pc with a player or only after you've burned it to a disc?
Hey creak, what image hosting site you use? I use photobucket and it resizes everything smaller (hard to read).

@B2D327 - the only green blocks i can think of in any AVI is when the original file has corruption in it, ie like when you download a less than perfect AVI. But with media with the recording ability of a mcdonald's pancake, you're on a loser before you start :)
Only this afternoon i had a colleague use a trusty Verbatim disc at work as well as an Imation disc for the exact same set of files (both burnt at low speed). He always has problems with Imation as that's all our company will buy. The imation was CRC tested on a Unix box, ie checksums and all that funky stuff - loads of errors as per normal - he hates these discs. I think i've detailed his and my disgust at the crapness of the Imation in the 2nd link in my sig.
Anyway, i brought the 2 discs home and i Kprobe-scanned the Verb and CRC scanned. No problems. But neither of my drives will even read the *cough cough* crap *cough* quality Imation - the drives just sit making a racket. So i can't kprobe the Imation to publicly shame it's lack of quality :)
@Mort81, i use photobucket too. All i ever do is grab the picture into paint and save it. Then i use Microsoft Photo Editor and crop it, then right click on the pic and change the properties to 8bit. As long as the width of image is around 20cm i know it will fit on page.

ah Mort, i know what i didn't mention. When i first saw your reply, the page took ages to load, so i looked at bottom of the browser window and noticed it was loading 4 bitmap images (i use jpegs as they're quite small in filesize). Must be something to do with you using bitmaps. Switch to jpegs and see what happens. As for Photobucket, i think it'sexcellent, nice and simple just how i like it

I thought they were jpeq, supposed to be anyway. I changed it back to jpeg and also increased the quality setting. We'll see what happens.
