Well it has to be blahblah CD1 and blahblah CD2

it always has to be CD1 and CD2 just 1 and 2 wont work. If you get an error, the files are differnt in some way

Well to post on my own question.....


I am pretty sure long files+AVI2DVD= broken. It just does not do well with 5+ hour files...

Sounds like you should be good to go. Just burn the ISO when you are done and thats it

Wow these forums are dead, dead, dead. Why are they even still up?

If the codec is unreckonized by your system no audio will play because it does not nknow how to play it. Although many frown upon codec packs, I find it is the easiest solution and works best for MOST users needs. However it should be said that it would be preferable to install each codec you need ...

Your avi has either blank video frames or a few milli-seconds of audio frames at the start of the AVI. Chop off the first second of the video and all is well.

chances are you have messed with the default text size in windows. Many programs do not work well with custom text sizes.
Go into display properities, settings, advanced and select normal font size.

This happens to me because I have the file on my desktop, and my username in xp has a ! in it.

Copy the file to the main directory of your hard drive
e.g. c:\blahmovie.avi

and it will work fine. (Provided you are not also outputting to your desktop in which you will also get this error)

Ill bet that your hard drive has goten very fragmented due to all of these you have been doing. AVI2DVD is lifting stuff from the wrong portions of the disk. Delete all your folders, defrag and try again.

sounds like you are authoring it yourself. I dont know why it happens but I have run into a similiar bug. I would recomend putting in a "blank" sound file. a wave of blank sound matching the duration of the black spaces. Encoders dont handle no sound at all very well.
