Playing and converting Xvid asd.avi files 2 DVD

[Tblossom]

Does anybody have any idea how I can do this? Xvid asd is a very compressed avi video fil; that a group in Poland use. Media player and winamp need the ffdshow codec to play a file in "your" computer, otherwise the sound and pic are out of sync. The same out of sync problem occurs with Nero. Can someone please tell me if there is any way to adjust Nero so that it will convert insync?

AFAIK, XviD asd is just a name for the Polish ripping group, not a new codec. Sync problems are usually caused by VBR audio. Why people do that is beyond me, the space saved by making the audio variable bitrate is negligible.

My recommendatios:

1) Don't fool with AVIs with VBR, some cannot be fixed, others can but will cause you a lot of grief.

2) Try AviDemux, it handles VBR audio about as well as anything:

3) Try one of the all-in-one converters on this page if AviDemux doesn't work:

4) Don't use Nero for anything besides burning.

5) There are more advanced methods if one is really determined, but again, it's not worth the effort.

Good luck.
