Q: Avi burn on iDVD

Hi

iDVD is picky in regard to what Video-Codec it can use (or not).

.avi, .wmv, .mp4 etc are NO CODEC - they are Containers and can hold Video-Codecs that works with iDVD or not.

Open Your .avi file (container) with QuickTime-player

Then open Inspector [cmd+I]

Then read -

• Video Format (Codec) : nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

• Frames per second : yyyyyyyyyyy

WHAT does they read ?

Try installing Perian 1.2.3 and them try opening the file with QT Player.  You might also download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later as it offers features that QT Player 10 doesn't.

OT

I had the green screen, too. Just downloading and installing Perian like Old Toad said seems to have done the trick for me. Plus now i always preview the avi in iDVD now before i do anything further.
