Burning .vod files

[The Decemberists]

I've converted an 'avi file to .vod using WinAVI VideoConverter, and I'm pretty sure this has worked properly, as PowerDVD will play those new files using the DVD on HDD thing. But for some reason I can't figure out how to get the .vod files onto a bloody DVD.

 

If I go through WinAVI and click burn files it loads up Nero Express 6 and then I click to burn DVD-Video files, as that's what .vod files are, right? If I just add the four .vod files that were made from the .avi files it comes up with

DVD-Video files compliance test failed. The resulting DVD may be unplayable. Do you want to continue?

which is because it's missing the 'VIDEO_TS.IFO' and 'VIDEO_TS.BUP' files, I think. But when I add the .vod files plus the other files created during the conversion, 'VIDEO_TS.IFO', 'VIDEO_TS.BUP', 'VTS_01_0.IFO' and 'VTS_01_0.BUP' it tells me that the

file size is not a multiple of a logical block size (2kb)

and that

DVD-Video files reallocation failed. The resulting DVD-Video might be unplayable. Do you want to continue?

 

What the hell does any of this mean? I presumed once I'd converted the files to .vod files actually getting them on the DVD would be easy.

 

Does anyone know where I've gone wrong, or what it is I'm not doing that I need to do?

Those errors are due to copy protection, I believe.

Really? I would've thought the copy protection would have kicked in when whoever it was who ripped to DVD and converted it to an .avi file was doing there bit.

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America]

They probably didn't rip the avi very well. Try using DVD Shrink or other like software to burn and convert it, though.

DVD Shrink won't read one of the .vod files properly. Which I'd guess backs up the copy protection theory. I'll try to do it with another avi file and see if that's any better.
