Multiple Video Problem
Whenever i'm trying to finish off my dvd (convert the video and burn) i can never have more than one video. I have this tv show (about 11 episodes) i taped and put on my computer and i made a whole dvd ready to go but not i can't burn it because it stops converting video after the first on is finished. Does anyone know how i can fix this problem??
You may have a bad video file. Sometimes a corrupt file will play OK, but cause trouble when you try to make a DVD.
What format are your source video files? (The more compressed formats are more likely to cause trouble.) How did you capture it? (How did you get the video from tape to your hard disk?) The Read This First at the top of the forum tells you what we need to know in order to help you.
11 TV episodes is too much video for a single layer DVD, and it's "pushing it" for a dual layer DVD. For best results, I try to keep it to 90 minutes per (single layer) DVD when using Dolby audio. If you are using LPCM audio, I'd recommend ane hour per DVD. (Those are just guidelines. It's OK to compress the video a bit more depending on the video quality you want.)

DivX / Xvid / MPEG4 and other formats.
These formats are becoming increasingly popular due to their small files sizes but high quality. They are more compressed than MPEG2 format and are perhaps the best file types to be used when sharing video over the Internet. All of the major TV companies in the United States and a number of British TV companies are now making their programmes available for download on the Internet. Here you will undoubtedly find that one of these 3 formats have been utilised.
They are not playable in a normal standalone DVD player though I have seen a few players starting to appear on the market, which will play these formats.
The problems associated with editing MPEG2 files pale into insignificance when attempting to edit these formats because they are even more highly compressed than MPEG2. Should you wish to create a DVD from these files they must be converted to MPEG2 format first - remember that those VOB files in the VIDEO_TS Folder are a form of MPEG2.
