AVI To DVD - No Picture

[Red Raven]

Hi

I've been using CEE for the past year or so and never had a problem backing up DVD,anyway i got a movie which is in avi format (2 files)
which i would like to put onto DVD,this is the process i used

1.Merged 2 x avi files using nandub
2.Extracted the audio using aviwav then converted to ac3 using ac3 machine.
3.Opened CEE added the avi,edit the settings,hit encode.
After being authored using Ifoedits DVDAuthor i should have ended up with VOB-IFO-BUP files etc totaling around 4GB,instead i end up with files mounting to 263MB so i checked the m2v using TmpgDVDAuthor and to my horror :D there was no image NONE just black screen throughout.

Here's The Info From Log:

I was thinking of using an avisynth script,would this make a difference?

avisource("LegendsOfTheFall.avi")
BicubicResize(720,326)
AddBorders(0,125,0,125)
ResampleAudio(44100)


Thanks for any help!

What codec is the avi using?

[Red Raven]

Codec:
4CC: Divx50/divx
Name: Divx 5.0

Any further info regarding why there was no image would be great but i think i've sorted it now mate,i used that avisynth script for encoding with CEE and it's worked a treat,ended up with nearly 4GB file as predicted checked the m2v using TmpgDVDAuthor and everything looks good.
As i type this the movie is being authored using Ifoedits DVDAuthor,i'll let you know how it turns out,fingers crossed :)

(Thought i'd just let you know it turned out ok) ;)
