Use avi2dvd with D2SRoba first... 4 passes in CCE gives bad results (from time to time :))

recording is slow even on dvd player.
What do you mean "recording"?

by the way... what's the resolution of your AVI (DivX) file?

Could you post your logfile? We may have some idea about undersizing.
and, an important question:
Does the RESULTED audio play well? Even it the end?
