Couple odd things happening I could use some help with...

[Hal05154]

If you could help me out....

I've been using DVD MF 5. Added a new DVD burner and installed on my Win2000 machine. Now here are the odd things that are happenig.

DVD MF runs slow as molasses.

I tried converting an avi file to a wmv using Window MovieMaker on my laptop and copied the file to my Win2000 machine. The file plays fine, but when I burned it the way an audio synch problem after about 5 minutes of play time.

Thanks!

Are you converting to wmv, and then re-converting to dvd compliant mpeg That's alot of conversions (and sometimes problematic). What format is the original video -- try to encode for DVD only once...

btw, what are the specs of your Win2K Machine

The reason I converted to wmv was DVDMF would NOT accept the original AVI file.

My Win2K is an older 600mhz machine.

Thanks!

What processor is that (Pentium III ). How much memory does it have

It's going to be a challenge to run MF5 on a P-III 600 (if that's what it is). And if you do run it successfully, it's going to take a long time to encode...

What format is the original video

I forget what the system requirements are for MF5 -- anyone else happen to have the min system requirements for MF5
