New to all of this

[yitbos92]

I have some video files, that I have accumulated over the years, that I really would like to try and burn to DVD. I have Nero Essentials 3.0 (?) that came with my burner. I burn the files to DVD in a format that should be readable by a stand alone player, but here is what is happening. The video comes through fine, but the audio sounds like the Chipmunks on helium. But this doesn't happen with all of them, only some. Some of the video's that I would think are protected, burn fine, but then the ones that I pulled off of my own video camera, come out sounding like the Chipmunks.

I was referred to try AnyDVD to see if it would strip off anything that is causing this to happen, which I have the trial version. It doesn't seem to work on these types of files unless I am using it wrong. FIle formats are .mpg, .wmv and .avi. These are what I have been trying to burn. ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks,

What software are you using to convert to DVD?

Anydvd doesn't do anything with .avi and .wmv files. Anydvd is intended for use with original commercial dvd movies. If you want to learn how to use Anydvd with original commercial dvd movies, read below:

1. Use Anydvd 6.4.0.1: click http://sandbox.slysoft.com/beta/SetupAnyDVD6401.exe

You may need to reboot after installing if prompted to do so.

2. Click the red fox icon on your toolbar. Click "default". Click "ok".

3. If you use DVDShrink, Nero Recode, or programs that generally can't handle structural protections, right-click on the fox icon on your toolbar and select "Rip video-dvd to Hard Disk". Choose your source and destination paths. Click "Copy", and wait for Anydvd ripper to finish. You can then import that rip into whatever program you want. This is an important step if the original disc contains structural protection.

You don't need to do this if you own Clonedvd or are planning to make a backup with Clonecd.


4. Use the latest Clonedvd: click http://sandbox.slysoft.com/beta/SetupCloneDVD2916.exe

5. Follow the steps from this link in order: click http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=476 (follow them step by step)

If you're using +R DL blank discs, I recommend using Clonecd: click http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=327
