I used Super Dvd Creator 8.5 to successfully convert 4 TV show episodes from .avi to .m2v & (whatever the audio track extention was, I forget...) Anyway, then I used DVD Lab Pro to take care of the rest - I built a simple menu with a still picture and the titles of the four episodes (each one linked to its appropriate video/audio files).
Long story short, the DVD plays almost perfectly in all of my DVD players...Here are the few problems that I would love clarification on if anyone can:
1) DVD Lab Pro had given me some kind of warning about GOP something or other...Don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I got this error with 3 out of the 4 files (all of which were downloaded from different sources, by the way) and for about half a second before each of these 3 episodes play, there is a very brief green screen that flashes once just before the video begins...This does not occur on the fourth one though.
2) When playing the disc on my computers, I can access any of the 4 episodes from the menu with no problem. However, on my DVD players, PS2, standalone dvd recorder, etc, when I get to the menu, I can only select episodes 1, 3, and 4...The highlighted selection seems to skip from 1 to 3 (or 3 to 1, depending on the direction I'm scrolling)...But I know that episode 2 is properly linked because it plays on my computers...Just can't select them on other DVD players...Does that make any sense?
3) Finally, I used the 16:9 format when converting the .avi's in Super DVD Creator 8.5, and they really look and sound great, but it seems like it's not as centered and/or scaled down as much as it should be - I'm losing about an inch of video on the left side of the screen (which, of course, I could live with, but I'm just curious to see whether I can avoid that in the future).
I am grateful for any help...Thanks a lot.
