Hi all, and thanks in advance for your help -
I installed Easy CD & DVD Burning so I could get all the videos I've collected in Flipshare burned onto DVDs - but when I go into My DVD Express, and click on "Add New Movie" - my .avi files don't appear - they simply show up with red null symbols where the thumbnails should be. (you know, circles with diagonal lines through them - I'm sure there's a technical name for those.)
Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

Most likely those avi files are DivX avis and are not compatible with the software you have especially not with myDVD Express. You will have to find some 3rd party software to convert them to an acceptable format
BTW, what version of "Easy CD & DVD Burning" do you really have? Is it really version 6?

In the case that you actually have Easy CD and DVD Burning [Vista compatible] which is version 9.0.554,
THIS Topic will explain how the software has been surgically altered so that it can no longer do the things you seek.
If you have just purchased the software, take it back and demand a refund on the grounds that the software is over three years old and has had its "boy bits" surgically removed so that it can't perform its job.
If you've acquired some old software from somewhere else, then "them's the breaks". Sorry.

Well, crap. I had no intention of paying $100 just to burn a damned DVD, since I'm not interested in fancy editing suites - I won't be buying anything else from Roxio, for sure.

I haven't a clue what you are whining about
You obviously have no idea what DVD burning is all about.This post has been edited by myguggi: 11 October 2009 - 05:14 PM

I know exactly what (s)he is complaining about, but I'm sure that Tresaigh would rather I told it as it was than try to sugar-coat it.

Exactly. Thank you, Brendon. I studied film in college - if I wanted fancy software, I'd pay for it. Since I just wanted to put my flip vids on DVD, I didn't, and apparently I still paid too much.
