    Do you mind saying what the film is?

    Will have a look for it

    Have had files which show the correct size but do not play for the reported duration

    Thanks, but have read & re-read the guide, have applied their recommended settings, but still missing the last 10 mins of the movie.

    Will try some of other suggestions above & will report back when I can

    Thanks all

    Just a thought, have you checked the avi file to make sure the whole movie is there? I would click the bar on the player near the end, then let it play to see if the credits come up.
  • You must be doing something wrong then or the file size is above what you claim it is. Its very hard to diagnose as i cant replicate the same problem here and ive been trying.

    EDIT: are you adding the folder or the file from inside the folder? Have you had any other problems with any other avi files like this?

    It may just be a bug with it and if so uninstall it and then download it again. May work it may not
    Hi, am adding the avi file only

    Hi, yep, the whole movie is def there within the AVI file, am currently trying to use WinX but it is only 5% through & I have an early start!

    Hi, I tried this program, much quicker at converting avi to vob than my current one (DVDFlick). However, even though it successfully converted the whole file, when I use winxdvd to burn the DVD, the line at the bottom shows me that the file will quite easily fit onto 1 x 4.7gb disc, and yet once it goes through the authoring stage & then onto burning, I get an error message advising that there is insufficient space on the disc!
    I also tried windows to burn the disc, and that keeps telling me to insert a black disc, which I have done 5 times - all brand new, all blank, and have tried DVD+R, DVD-R too
    Any ideas?

    You can use it to build DVD Video discs (from a VIDEO_TS folder), HD DVD Video discs (from a HVDVD_TS folder) and Blu-ray Video discs (from a BDAV / BDMV folder) with ease.

    Did the 700MB version do the same?
