Final version 6.3 of WinAVI is out and we thought it's a good idea to update this guide so that it contains the proper instructions for the new GUI and features. For those not familiar with WinAVI, let me repeat it's advantages:
As you see WinAVI is very simple, while it's fast and powerful. We created a DVD Video disc from a DivX file in only 10 steps and by using only one program. Download a free full working trial here. You can get a WinAVI serial here. You can also have a look at the following alternative program suggested by DVD-Guides.com:

Well to answer your questions, usually this program will throw that error when there is a missing codec. If the file can be played in windows media player fine it'll convert fine. =) hope this clears up some stuff
Same problem as symphonia and cotair
written by kor_sakov, May 07, 2005
When I start up the winavi program I get a message that i should have real media codec version 9 or higher installed properly.
My system is not that old and I have version 10.00.00.3646 (and i think it works properly because I can watch the .avi file with it) When I go further anyway I get the same " can not render the graph , please make sure your media can be played by windows media player " just as the other people . I can burn a dvd with another programm, but I would like to try winavi because i want to add subtitles and that is just what winavi can do quite easily (according the tutorial) kind regards
Can not render the graph

After install klight codec standart. Dont select the subtitle file. Only put subtitle in the folder with your movie.
MPG to DVD
written by SylkeSmove, May 25, 2005
I installed the latest codec for MPG. But in the conversion process it freezes at the beginning. I can play the video fine with powerdvd or windows media player. Anyone have any ideas to what could be the problem?

AVI to DVD
written by outsider, June 08, 2005
I capture, edit and render film from VHS tape by using Pinnacle Studio 9. I render it in AVI format. When converting to DVD using WinAVI my computer freezes, sometimes it popwers down, when a percentage of the AVI has been converted. It is not always the same percentage. I have put three VHS tapes onto DVD using the foregoing method, but it's after several attempts to convert. Any ideas ?
Is there a limit to the size of AVI file which will convert. I have Real Player installed, which apparently contains the right codec.

Coverting with Win Avi e 6.3
written by jgrif101, July 09, 2005
I have converted many Avi files using Win avi 6.3 the weird part is I usually do a batch convert and combine both video 1 & 2 and the conversion goes successfully. I use Nero 8.6.0.12 and I'm using Memorex Dvd-r cds.The burn goes successfully but it won't play in my sony dvd recorder. Anyone having this problem. I have converted and burn some movies fine and others done work. I'm not doing anything different from each one. I'm not sure if its not encoding and converting correctly or leaving some files out somewhere. In the meantime I have switched to a different converter application called "avi divx mpeg to dvd converter version 1.1.7" this works fine but its so slow compared to winavi. If anyone has run across this problem with winavi and nkow of a solution let me know. Tired of making coasters with dvd
thanks

6.3 and 7.1
written by maiknyc, January 27, 2006
The 7.1 version of WinAVI is the one that causes the stuttering picture and sound for some people. There is something wrong with that version and most people will tell you to go back to 6.3. Now my problem is that I has the same problem as most people here where the picture would go for like 3 seconds and then freeze. In the 7.1 version there is an option called "Enable DIrecMP2" (or something like that) and when I enabled that the discs always worked and I never had the "3 second freezing" thing. But now I converted back to 6.3 because of the stuttering picture issue - but 6.3 does NOT have the "Enable DirecMP2" option only the "AC3" one - so now I am back to getting the 3 second freezes. I really like the program - but until they fix it I guess I have to deal with the stuttering picture happening every once in a while.

AVI to DVD" Written by outsider on 2005-06-08 16:54:39 I found i had this problem too, so on my widescreen tv the picture is stretched on one film i just converted (it wasn't on the last avi i converted though). I'm thinking next time i use winavi, i will let it auto choose my aspect ratio instead of 'telling' it to make it 16:9. I don't know if this has anything to do with why the picture came out stretched so am not sure it will help/work, but shall try it next time Fortunately, with my standalone dvd player, and i expect most standalone's that people have, by going into the setup menu, i changed the aspect ratio from 16:9 to '4:3 letter box' and now the movie is playing with the top and bottom borders and no stretching. Hope this helps.
Problem Converting .avi to DVD with WinA
written by michaelo, February 28, 2006
I converted an .avi generated with Adobe Premier (created with content from a PAL video camera) to DVD format using WinAVI. The DVD files played fine on my laptop (using WINDVD), they also played fine on my TV via S-video cable from my laptop, BUT after burning the files to a DVD and playing the DVD on my home DVD player - some of the content (sides + top & bottom) got cut off. Any insight as to why this might be happening and/or how I can rectify it would be greatly appreciate.

Yes you can convert rmvb to dvd. Simply just select the files and convert.
WinAvi + Subtitles
written by x2uiw, May 18, 2006

problems with 7.5
written by eldeecee, May 22, 2006 Hello, I was wondering if people who are using ver 7.5 is having problems with the video getting distorted when converting from avi to dvd? I am trying to figure out why it would do that. I have the codecs installed (using Defilerpak) but for the life of me I can't figure out why it is doing this. Any ideas? I had no problems before upgrading from 7.1.
Re: problems with 7.5
written by x2uiw, May 26, 2006
I'm using v7.5 and I haven't encountered any problems with video distortion whatsoever when I convert .avi files to dvd. I'm not sure what it is that causes these distortions... You could try unintalling and reinstalling the program. Sorry I couldn't help.

The problem I have is that when I click on the burn to DVD icon, it fires up Nero! And although there is an option in Nero to burn the file to a DCD - when I place the DVD in my player it refuses to accept the format. How can I get the Burn to DVD option working properly on Win Avi please?

limited success
written by devocap, March 12, 2007
I have had great success with winavi. It is indeed faster than anything else out there. I have had success using this program to convert, then using nero express, or nero vision for the burning. However there are some avi files which when I try to convert, an error occurs and prompts winavi to close. I have also had a problem with the dvd player being unable to play some dvds due to size problems. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanx.
solution i've found helpful
written by boogie woogie, March 13, 2007
when you get a error that says something like: I get this Error "OutDir Can Not Include 4 " ....OR..."I get this Error "OutDir Can Not Include _ "........it means whatever you named the file is incorrect. In the above cases, remove the underscore [_] in the file name and remove the number [4]. Simply rename the file you're trying to convert to its name with no underscores, numbers etc and it works fine. EXAMPLE1: instead of Santa_Claus_Rocks,etc rename it simply SantaClaus or Santa Claus. Example2: Santa Claus 4, simply Santa Claus. Hope this helps.

Re: avi to wmv

You can actually use (presuming you are using Windows PC) Windows MovieMaker to convert an avi to wmv. Theres nothing really special about it. The Wmv file is of a lower quality than an avi.
Home dvd player problems?
written by Risewell, April 21, 2007
If your converted video does not play on your Sony DVD player it's because (from my experience) Sony players don't like home made videos (or some audio cd's for that matter). So you pay a lot of money for that Sony Dvd player expecting a helluva lot.

WinAvi 8.0 and burning
written by mooowl, June 24, 2007
Hi, I have a problem when trying to burn onto DVD-R discs, usually I have no problem but recently I dowloaded a file which I had to increase the output size when converting from Avi to DVD which wasn't a problem for my computer nor for WinAvi. The problem came when trying to burn, after selecting the file I was told that the file size was too big for the 4.7GB disc, I made an educated gues in thinking that the file I converted is longer than 120Min, so, can I change the recording time of the disc using WinAvi (The box says its possible to extend 120 minutes (SP mode) to 360 minutes depending on the recorder)and if not is there another program I can use to do so?
Any repply will be aprreciated.

Watermark on the trial version
written by Thomas22, June 30, 2009
They tell you to note that the trial version has a watermark. That would be fine. However, they neglect to mention that the watermark appears in the CENTRE of the screen, rendering the film unwatchable and wasting your disc. This doesn't make me want to pay for their service. In fact, it makes me rather dislike them.
Beware.
