Wont Let Me Burn

[Stevy]

Im new to Roxio, but ive used other programs before with no problems, roxio was recomended to me by my brother.

But any way, when i try to burn a movie an error come up that says " The file you are trying to use cannot be eddited, and has not been added"

Im useing creator 2009, the movie files are .AVI, i tried to use Create DVDs and Create DVDs Advanced and both say the same thing. I have about 20 movies and they all work on my pc and i would like to have copies of them

 

Some help would be wonderful

 

Thank you,

Check that you have the correct codecs (use gspot)

 

Also- what is the source of the .avi files?

You still havent answered the 2nd part of Daithis question - where did you get the files?

[Stevy]

yeah i did, i said that my friend gave me some dvds and i copied them to my computer

What format are the files in?

 

 

[Stevy]

it says avi

[gi7omy]

OK - what does gspot say about it?

 

Can they play in windows media player or Cineplayer?

 

One other point - if you have an OEM version, it's quite likely that it is crippled and won't handle the files - what version number do you have?

What brand DVD did your friend use? Has s/he had trouble making copies?
