I have Windows XP Media Center with 2 DVD burners (Phillips DVDRW228 and Lite-On DVDRW SHW-1635S). The software that I have is Nero OEM 6.6.0.15 version.

I have downloaded the DivX Codec, but am having problems downloading the DivX Player. I get an error message "The ordinal 422 could not be located in the dynamic link library PX.dll".
What does this mean?

I've tried using my Nero program to burn the DVD movie (Dvdrip, avi. file) and get an error message "no compatible file found" when I try to add the file to the Nero Express - Burn DVD -Video Files menu.

I went to the Nero website to check out the Nero 7.0 software and wanted to download the trial version first to see if it would work, but it tells me that I have to uninstall my version of Nero before it will download. I'm not sure if I really want to do that as this was on my computer when I purchased it and I don't think I have the cd to reinstall it if I need to.

I have checked my movie that I wanted to burn and it is a good copy.

This is my first attempt at burning a DVD, so I'm not sure what I'm exactly doing. Please help. If you need further information in order to help me, just let me know.

Thanks,

Tobydo

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=51627 Theres some good advice in here from Ukbob, he knows his stuff when it comes to Nero.....

also you could try http://dvdsanta.com it is very user friendly and the demo version has no time limits and its free..

sorry this is abit of a cheek but i read your post about problems burning a dvd for first time. I was hoping you might be able to have a wee snatch at my post regarding burning a cd. Its my first doing that (i'm not at the dvd stage yet). Hope you get the help you need, its a bummer when you get stuck like this and dont know why.

Hello ronin4, Firstly what burning software do you have and we can go from there....

Someone please respond to my message. I don't know what else to do. I've contacted the support at dvdSanta, but I have gotten two failure notices that my emails did not reach them.

Here was my help message I posted previously:

When I try to install the DivX Play Bundle Download, parts of it seems to download. I still get the error "The ordinal 422 could not be located in the dynamic link library PX.dll." I have installed the downloads, Microsoft Direct X 9.0c End-User Runtime, Microsoft Media 9, and Xvid-Dec.exe from the dvdSanta.com website. This error comes from the Divx codec downloadDirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime . Why am I getting this error? I just also purchased the dvdSanta and cannot get this to work. When I go into Video files to select the video I am wanting to burn from my saved files and click on the video, part of the screen goes blank and when I exit out of dvdSanta, it tells me program is not responding.

I was just notified that Lord of the Rings responded to this message, but I do not see it. Please reply again.

Thanks,

Tobydo

Here's the contact details: http://www.dvdsanta.com/contact.html
Perhaps you need an update.

Toby boy, I dont quite understand what you have tried to download....How did you go about getting dvdsanta????

I found out about dvdSanta in the forums. I went to www.dvdSanta.com.

I am, however, still having problems using dvdSanta. I have tried emailing the contact us and also the comments section to inform them of my problem and I get a failure notice where my emails are not going through.

I have already paid for this download and even bought a lifetime upgrade. I am getting ready to write this company and demand my money back.

If anyone else knows of something I may need to do to get dvdSanta to work, please let me know. I do have the most current version installed.

Thanks,

Tobydo

Hey Tobydo, what is it exactley doing?????

It seems now that the dvdSanta may be working - it's not freezing up now. I'm still confused on exactly how I need to burn the dvd I downloaded off of limewire (.avi file) I have read so much now, I'm not sure if I need to rip it first, decrypt it, etc., I have downloaded all the programs that have been suggested, so I think I've got everything I could possibly need. I had the trial version of Nero 7, but it has not expired, so I am relying on dvdSanta instead.

This movie is the full version and I have played it on my computer using Windows Media Player.

What steps do I need to take now to get this movie burned to a blank dvd. I know this can't be this hard, but I am so lost now.

Someone please help me out. I really would like to start burning movies.

Thank you to whoever replies to this message and helps me. I'm desperate!!!!

Thanks again,

Tobydo
