Well, PowerDirector is capable of doing that, but I guess it depends on your computer and why the free software has failed. An avi will be encoded to MPEG 2 and then burned to disc. __________________________________

so after i upgrade, will "burn to disc" become ungreyed (that's the step i'm at)?



and i can't figure out how to go back and get a "play" menu button on there.

something else.......

i'm watching an avi file. it's perfect.



yet when i preview in powerdirector, it skips every minute or 2.



is this normal behavior when previewing, or will it show up on the DVD?

H,
It would help if you gave more information on the structure/properties of the avi video. Use MediaInfo and provide the full information. Please also provide a PC diagnostic. See guides Part B & Part J.
The information will help us, help you.

It depends on the power of your PC, especially if your project has many effects on lines of time viewing the preview can make leaps or minor hiccups, however after producing in video file or create your DVD should play normal.

Save your DVD in a folder to test before burning the disc. AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3
SSD SUV400S37240G / 2-HD WD 1TB
AMD Radeon R9 270 / AOC M2470SWD
Windows 7-64 / PD16 Ultimate

I see a lot of "Martix" crashes at the end of the dxdiag repost. Read this but don't do anyhitng that you are uncomforatable with .

Are you trying to edit/burn a commercial copy protected DVD (Jeff Dunham)? .

BoilerPlate: To posters who ask for help -- it is nice to thank the volunteers who try to answer your questions !
Anything I post unless stated with a reference is my personal opinion.

In the first section, DxDiag previously crashed in DirectShow (Stage 1).

Make sure you have latest drivers for you Mobile nVidia GT740M.

Depending on how you have your BIOS set, update drivers for the Intel HD4600 also. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

according to Windows, all drivers are up to date.



the Matrix crashes are just my silly screensaver.



yes, i'm trying to burn a Jeff Dunham DVD.

Most reputable software won;t burn/copy a copyrighted disc in most countries of the world.

I'm sorry but if that is what you are trying to do, I don't think anyone will help because of the potential legal issues. Depending on the interpretation, you may not be able to copy a DVD that you own for your own needs. That will send up a flag in this discussion group. .

UGH.....

i've done it about 20 times before.

just forgot what software i used and thought cyberlink might be a solution.

Windows Update doesn't always have the latest drivers. Check nVidia and Intel websites. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

done.

they are up to date.



so i can't use the software for burning movies, you said?

Copying commercial videos is what I said because it illegal. .

that's partly what i was asking, i guess.
