Codecs? We dont need no stinking badg....I mean Codecs!

Post by gamer2 »

Here is the story, I am trying to put some videos onto DVD with DVD architect. DVD Architect, every time I try to put the videos on the Menu, it says "Video Stream could not be determined", I try to play it in the program and I see a black screen and get just the audio. I am thinking its the codec, and since its .avi I figure its xvid, I check it out and sure enough its Xvid. I download that and I still get the problem.

Whats the problem?

I did a quick search. This is a link that talks about AVI-to-MPG & AVI-to-DVD. It should be able to help you with your problem.
