Hello
I am not a DVD guy, actually all my life I created like 10 DVD's or less , last one being probably 5 years ago. So I am a "noob" as you can say...
I downloaded an avi file and tried to make a DVD out of it.
1)To put it on DVD it has to be video-ts folder, so I did that using FFmpegx using DVD ffmpegx from the "TO" menu.
2) I burned the files using Toast once and Burn another.
3)after inserting the dvd into my dvd player(multi-regional , no problems playing any kind of dvd-original/pirated/homemade/any region on planet earth) it plays fine, but if you fastforward or rewind it takes a really long time to play again. If you hit "play" button, it will pause and play again in 5-10 min. If you click "stop" button, then it won't play again from the same place it stopped but somewhere earlier in the video. There is also some audio loss sometimes.
I did try to run the CD from VLC, but it ran fine just like any other dvd.
Any one can help, where is the problem? Is this supposed to happen? I did run home made DVDs from friends and they were as good as company manufactured ones.
The other thing is, I am using a macbook core 2 duo 2Ghz with 2GB ram.
One avi file that was 2 hours long took 6 hours to encode using toast and the heat was something like 75C/167F for the whole 6 hours! Is this normal?
it had to re-encode setting from NTSC to PAL.
I did another avi file(1:20 hour) and it took 40 min to encode to video_ts using FFmpegX. Heat went up high just as much.
Am I doing something wrong? Is the encoding time/heat normal?
