Have you watched the encoded file on your computer? If so, does the file work flawlessly? If so then your problem would seem to be in your authoring software and/or burner.
When I was using Nero I would encode the avi files to Nerodigital using Nero Recode, then I would use the recoded files to author the dvd. Worked great for me but I was using Nero for the recode and for the authoring. As soon as I moved out of Nero for authoring I started having problems. Now I edit in Premiere Pro, encode using CinemaCraft Encoder and author with Encore. I know the MainConcept Encoder that is bundled with Premiere Pro is good, I just don't think it gives you enough control over the bitrates. It could just be you have a bad batch of dvd's. This is another confusing subject. I have had good luck with FujiFilm +R. I have noticed that most of their +R that I see out there are made in Japan while most of their -R are made in Taiwan. However, even this is not the case 100% of the time. There are people who swear that all dvd media made in Taiwan and inferior to those made in Japan. Do some research about what media works best with your burner over at dvdrhelp.com. I have been working pretty intensively with dvd authoring and burning in the last six months and I can tell you that at the consumer level the market is still wide open. If you are serious about getting the best, most consistent product, you must be willing to invest significant time in trial-and-error along with reading everything you can find on the web. I think one of the hardest things for we consumers to understand is why our dvd's don't look like the ones from Hollywood. I have read that the Hollywood studios use encoders and codecs that cost tens-of- thousands of dollars, and to squeeze every ounce of quality onto a dvd they spend months on the encoding process, sometimes even encoding one frame at a time to have total control of where their bitrate is being used. I don't want to discourage you. It is possible to get decent quality. You just have to work at it. There are no easy answers to a question like your's, and what has worked for me may not work for you. This is where you will decide if the reward is worth the effort.

When the export is complete then I use Nero 5.5 (also tried 6) to author the dvd using the avi file. I am using FujiFilm DVD-R media with NO labels. I also tried WinAvi software to encode the avi file and then used Nero to author the vob file to DVD and the results were the same. > > Any thoughts? > > Michelle > ----- Original Message ----- > From: rsgars > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 8:34 AM > Subject: [AP] Re: AVI to DVD > > > > How are you encoding the avi file?
