Any ideas??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerman Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I dont know what you mean,but all of them are video clips I mean its movies and they are mininmum 60-90 min. long. Are these divx movies? Right click the file and go to properties and then go to the Advanced tab and see what they are. If these are xvid or some other format, you may not have the right codecs for them. That opens up another can of worms as it seems like you are very unfamiliar with these types of files and I'm reluctant to make some suggestions unless you have someone a bit more knowledgeable to help you. But first, we have to find out exactly what the problem is. There is a niftly free program called Gspot with which you can import one of these files and it will tell you what type of file it is and what codecs it needs to run on your system and most important, it will tell you if you have the codecs on your system to play these files. See if you can download it and give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbrewst Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Could the problem be that you are using PAL files and trying to watch them on an NTSC machine?In MYDVD make sure under the project settings in the left panel that you have NTSC checked instead of PAL.

sknis Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Well,that is PAL because it's russian .I am from Russia,but i live in states now and here is NTCS. Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 HP Pavilion 2.80 gigahertz Intel Pentium D 16 kilobyte primary memory cache 1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache 250.03 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity So,do you htink i can do something to convert them to good quality?? Please your video card/chip information or the model number of your computer. So you have avi files that are PAL and want to convert and burn the files to US NTSC. Or vice versa? Are you trying to play those files on a US DVD player? It won't play them well. There are some players that will play both but I think you may have to tell them PAL or NTSC. When you went to burn the AVI files, did you burn them as PAL ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell what do you want to know about my computer,please...... Where are you located? That 25 frames per second is definitely outside the US since it is "PAL" color encoding system. Use Belarc Advisor (link above) to determine what you have. Look at some of the other signatures and post that type of information. Don't post all of the information that you get from Belarc. Post things like pocessor speed, video card/chip (especially that), hard drive free space, operating system (XP home or pro or Vista). If you have a standard computer with no add ons, you can post the manufacturer and model.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have DVD player which perfectly plays PAL and NTSC. I have many DVDs in PAL and i watch them on TV here and they are fine. When i try to burn my movies Output is always NTSC,i think that maybe i need to change burning speed or something like that,but i dont know right settings...

I wish I could see what this looks like. Are all your video drivers up to date? Do you have the latest DirectX version? I'm not sure what the problem is. It could be an interlacing problem too.

cdanteek Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Belarc Advisor Off Topic Steve (the other one), very usefull tool. I needed a utility to find MS Office 2000 CD-Key on a W98se machine, the people lost the key but have the discs, needed to reinstall. Alot of utilities out there but for some reason one to find MS Office 2000 was not there or didn't work! Belarc Advisor found it with no problem! cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
