Hi folks!

I have an avi file on my computer that I wish to convert to dvd format, burn to dvd to watch in a normal dvd player.

After searching these forums I found a thread in which lots of people recommended the ConvertXtoDVD software.

Using this software, I appear to be successfully converting the file and burning the disc (its def burned something when checking the underside of the disc) but when I put the disc in my player or even my pc it would appear that nothing is on it.

Anyone familiar with this software? Any ideas where I am going wrong? I am pretty sure the session is closed on the disc. If its any help, here is the log from the program, which doesn't show any problems.

seems strange i use that a lot ,and have great response, does your dvd player play the type of discs ? :confused:
 
I see you have the write speed set to x6, maybe try it at x4?

Sorry, I don't know what else to suggest (other than you may be using unsupported/cheap media) as it's a pretty straight forward program to use.

GL. :)
