Be aware however that because WinAVI is such a POS encoder, many authoring tools will (rightly) reject the files it creates because they are not truly DVD compliant.ģ. Follow the advice previously given - extract the contents from WinAVI and try to author them correctly in a program that will join the pieces together.

Many choose this option, probably because WinAVI is so widely available in an extended demo version.Ģ. Keep using WinAVI and Nero, live in ignorance, and put up with what it gives you. Joining these together does not give you one title, just a big VOB files with two titles in it.ġ. Each title will exist in at least one and probably two or three VOB files. If you have tried to create a single movie from two parts using WinAVI (or indeed pretty much any one-click-wonder) you will get two titles - one for each half. In fact, if you do join them up you will have a non-compliant DVD that won't play in many players. Your player knows how to handle this, and does not require that the VOBs contain different parts be joined up. If a title is larger than 1000MBs (and anything over around 15 minutes long usually is) then it contiues into the next VOB.

They can be no larger than 1000MBs in size. VOB files contain all the video, audio and subtitle data. ifo file, in case the original gets trashed. ifo files contain the information about the disc - how many menus, how many titles, where the chapter points are, what languages and subtitle streams there etc. This forum is littered with the debris of winavi victims.įirst, you need to understand what you are trying to do, and the moment, I suspect you know pretty much nothing about how DVDs are authored.Īfter authoring you are left with three basic file types, stored in a folder called Video_TS. It also creates non-compliant DVD structures, is a low quality encoder, and crashes more times that it succeeds.
