Use Nero to burn MPG files ONLY .VIPER_1069 said:guessing here chickenman that 'armymom' has cut an avi in two and now has 2 halves of avi that still need to be recoded to mpeg before burn and guessing also here that maby nero is the choice of burn tool and prolly causing its headache problem of bad encoding
