AVI to DVD problems

[Portyansky]

Well I have been using winavi for a pretty long time without any glitches, recently I go to convert my avi files to dvd files and I keep getting error messages and it say your file will now close. I delted it and reinstalled, and same problems. I actualy dont think its winavi at all now that i think of it, b/c i downloaded 2 other avi to dvd programs and am getting the same error messege.

I just tried it one more time, just incase i am loosing my mind, I now am getting the following error. "Access violation at adress 00000000. Read of adress 00000000"
Any ideas? I have used different files and different programs, but still no success.

Vista ?

Xp
What version 7.6/7.7/8.0
7.7 As a dodgy audio codec

Have you recently installed a codec/Pack
Unistall it Restart your comp
test winavi see if this cures it,
if not install codec pack again
Open Winavi go to menu(Top left)
General/Use the built in decoder
If ticked untick restart winavi See if that helps
If unticked tick it restart winavi See if that helps

Winavi ver 6.3 Windows XP

How do i check codec/pack?

Dont have those settings you are reffering to.

1-I suggest you get the newer version of winavi 8.0
It supports more of the newer codecs
Or
ConvertXtoDvd-2.2.2.258

2-easiest way Go to start/control panel /add or remove programs
look carefully for the word codec
make a list

3- yours is an older winavi so i wouldn't know myself

can you watch those avi movies on your comp ?
and what program do you use vlc player /windows media player/other
