Recently I tried to burn a video dvd-r with the following contents:

Name: Naruto 66-67
Length: 1 video "clip", 44:24
Audio format: Lame MP3
Video format: xvid
Resolution: 640x480
Bit rate: 24 bit
FPS: 20 FPS
Frames: 53,294, 123.2 KB/sec

Using "Sonic: MyDVD"

When in preview mode, in it, it shows the video upright and working fine, as is the actual file (In BSplayer 1)... But once the dvd is done burning, and I pop it into EITHER of my dvd readers (Computer or stand-alone connected to TV), the video appears upside in both the "button" to open the video, and the video itself - and it stays upside down throughout the entire video.


Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Please help me fix this :( I have lost 2 dvd-r's already, and they're quite expensive, on my budget.

Are you sure your not on trial version or something?

Came with my $150 dvd-burner, I should hope not. (No, it isn't - It says in the program that its the full version :P)

You have to stand on the ceiling to watch it... duh!

:)

Didn't see that. Sorry.

Just an FYI for later use, find someone with a DVD-RW or find a small pack of DVD-RW and test on that first :)

No one else I know has a dvd-burner, so the dvd-rw idea is out the window :-/


Anyone have this problem before or know how I can fix it?

Have I burned upside down videos before? Yes. Do I remember why? No. Do I remember what I did to fix the problem? No.

*and this year's most helpful member award goes to... *

Haha... So I take it- its just dumb luck that I can burn it right side up? :-/

I burnt another one ... Same problem! :( I did a new video this time, so it defently isn't the original codec.


Does anyone know of FREE software to convert mpeg4, avi, divx, xvid, etc. (All codecs) to a dvd-readable - but yet small format that I can watch on a dvd player, burn with nero, and be UPRIGHT?

Maybe you have a DVD burner that was designed for the Southern Hemisphere .... send the DVD burner to me and I will see if it works here. If it doesn't work I will send it straight back to you.

My address ... The Doctor Australia.

:D

I know I post this often, but it's where I go to do something that I need to do...

One thing I have found helpful in figurinhg out exactly what random files are is a program called AVIcodec (http://avicodec.duby.info/)

Use the link Chicken posted and look for TMPGEnc. The clips you are using aren't DVD compliant so no DVD player is going to be able to play them.

They'll need to have specs something like this for North America:

DVD NTSC (MPEG-2 720x480 29.97fps CBR 2750kbps, Layer-2 48000Hz 384kbps)

TMPGEnc will handle the conversion for you.

Sonic: DVD actually converts it to MPEG-1 or something, before it burns it - it SHOWS UP on the dvd player, but its upside down :-/

I'll try TMPGEnc once I reload XP on my dvd-burning machine... Just hope it works
