Ive downloaded the old Roots tv show from 1984 and want to watch on my dvd player.the files are xvidoptivid, they are not supported by
dvd santa ,winavi has a problem and has to close and covertx keeps giving error messages while converting.When played on my dvd player
the audio is ok but the picture is compressed to a line about 1 inch high across the middle of the screen.
Do I need to alter the settings in convertx?

Have you tried just watching it with a regular media player like Media Player Classic or VLC? I just wonder if your videos aren't DRMed or otherwise corrupted.

Anyway, look at AVI2DVD and also be sure you have a modern XviD codec installed from codecs.com.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Hi there,

Give VSO ConvertXtoDVD v2.1.4.162 a try.

If you are still having issues, please provide us a full conversion log.

Hopefully the next build (If you upload the file to VSO for analysis) will fix, support your files.

I second that. DivXtoDVD is the best video converter around and pretty fast too. I have one question myself though. I have several XviD files which are part of one movie. Can you import all these files to burn as one? If not what's the alternative?

Avi2DVD is free though. I guess it depends if you can afford to spend the money or not. I hear ConvertXtoDVD is good.

Yes, you can load up to 64 input files (Small ones of course) and convert them all in 1 shot.

Each file will become 1 item in the menu.

So a 2 part movie, you can just name them

Movie Part I
Movie Part II

and it will play one after the other !
