Help with Codecs

.Kencs · 24 Dec 2007 at 11:17

Right, I got a .avi file and i have divX on my PC and the file plays fine on the PC, but when I go to burn it, it displays 0mb and is only 5secs long (or so it displays) so i cant burn it.

Anyone know what codecs I require in order to burn it to DVD?
It's a massive family party from 2 yrs ago that someone has made for me and sent it me in .avi and it has my grandad and grandma on who passed away not too long ago so i REALLY wanna get this onto DVD for a xmas present for my mum as the mate who ripped it to .avi isnt responding to any of my calls.....please help with the codec i need.

Thanks

My issue isn't burning it faster it's that it plays spot on on my PC but when i try and burn it, it doesnt recognise any codecs to burn the .avi file with....why???

I use ConvertXtoDVD and i've got a tool which tells you what codecs are in the file.

:O Honestly I haven't my wife would kill me if I owned any...When I play it on my PC its a family party we had about 2 yrs ago, but a screen pops up saying i need to install the player. I will try to get hold of my mate and ask him why its asking for that player but like I said it's NOT porn, the wife would absolutely kill me if I owned any...

There is more than 1 person that uses this PC and I KNOW I haven't downloaded porn, as said, my wife would Kill me, she is totally against it lol.

a lot of .avi files that I have downloaded from torrent sites, especially from KLAXXON display this message now. I have been doing research and a lot of people have this issue with .aci files. I have installed Vodei from the main website, hoping this will work, which it doesnt. I have just uninstalled Vodei and now a lot of my files say it...Its reckin my head!!!
