windows dvd maker encoding

Question

My Windows DVD Maker stops/freezes the encoding process on some movies that I have converted to AVI files. Is there an answer to this using Windows DVD Maker? Or is there another software product that is better? (using Windows 7 Professional)

Answer 1

Have you tried running windows update? Make sure you take a look at the optional updates.

You can try Handbrake or DVD Flick if you're trying to go AVI to playable DVD. CDBurnerXP is typically for audio and data CDs/DVDs.

Answer 2

Not sure if it's better but you might try CDBurnerXP:

CDBurnerXP is a free application to burn CDs and DVDs, including Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs. It also includes the feature to burn and create ISOs, as well as a multilanguage interface. Everyone, even companies, can use it for free. It does not include adware or similar malicious components.
