I've burned several .avi files to DVD using Roxio Video Copy and Edit. Each .avi file takes up about 2.6 gb on a 4.7 gb DVD disk, and I'm only burning one file on each disk. When watching the DVD on TV, everything is fine up until the last few seconds, then the movie cuts out and the DVD jumps to the very beginning and starts again. I can play the .avi file on my computer, and it plays properly right through to the end, so something is happening when I burn it. In Roxio, I have selected "Video Compilation", format "DVD", and under "Options" the only things checked are: under "General", "Include this profile in the Format Selector" and under "Video File Conversion", "Always convert to preferred video format (preferred)". Write speed is 20x (27.1 MB/Sec), and the following are checked: "Buffer underrun prevention" and "Eject after write" and the maximum write buffer allocation is 65.0 MB.
Any advice as to what is happening?
Thanks,
Andreamc

Could be that there is a "fade out" added at the end which might cause that effect. I prefer to use myDVD to create DVDs and have never seen that problem occuring. The jump to the beginning of course is normal.
