What burning software and DVD media are you using? Pretty much any file burned to CD/DVD should be just as usable to your system as the original file was; so there must be either a formating/finalizing problem, or a lot of bad sectors on the media.

Try making sure that you're burning a finalized DVD (closed session or disk-at-once) and see what happens. Many problems seem to crop up if the disk is in multisession mode with certain burning software.

Hi!it says files missing
1) What is "it"? What program says this?

2) What SPECIFIC files are missing?

On your computer, are you able to PLAY the .AVIs from the DVD?

You should right click on the files on the actual dvds and check that they are real files and not just shortcuts to files on your hard disk.
