Question about AVI>DVD

I had an AVI that I converted to DVD. The audio on the source AVI was really quiet, so I used the option in the converting software to raise the audio level to somewhere I could actually here it. It converted fine, burned fine, plays back fine. The thing is, I forgot to set the volume back to default, and when the program was closed, it didn't set it back to default. So, the next few AVIs that I converted had CRAZY LOUD audio, like to the point of distortion one one that actually plays back. Out of 4 of these AVIs that were converted with the loud audio, only one plays in my home DVD player, and the audio is, indeed, crazy loud, and is a bit distorted. The other three simply do not play. My DVD play either says "Error" or just keeps flashing "Loading". Could this be due to the crazy high volume levels? I did the converting with ConvertX and the audio was the only setting I changed. I have converted and burned 100's of DVDs using many different apps, and this is the first time that I have had 3 out of 4 not play back in my set-top DVD player. They do play on my PC with insanely loud audio..... it's not a big deal, I still have the source AVIs and I can simply re-encode 'em, so this is more of a curiousity thing than anything else....

Thanks!

(I've also been having occasional troubles with DivX playback on my DVD player; if I put 5 or 6 DivX files on a DVD, sometimes they don't work right and I get the "Error" on the DVD player, but they work in the PC. I have one with like 15 or 20 small DivX files that refuses to play when burned on a DVD-R, but on a DVD-RW it plays perfectly. I think that maybe the brand of DVDs or that particular batch may be faulty. I've used the same brand before w/o problems but maybe this batch is bad... Dynex DVD-R by Best Buy.... they were cheap... 50 of 'em for $7.99)

 

Some dvd players are picky about what types of dvds they play. Try using a different brand of dvds or even a different type of layer.

 

Yeah, but the thing is I've used this same brand of DVD-R many, many times (over 150 of 'em) with the same DVD player and just now I'm having issues with about one-third of the DVD burned so far from this 50-pack. I probably won't use this brand again, it's just that I've used so many times and they're so inexpensive and I've never had trouble 'til now.... I'm thinking maybe they changed the pressing formula, or I just got a bad batch... I'm mainly curious if having a crazy high volume level can cause the DVDs to not be recognized correctly by the player...

 

It shouldn't effect the dvd player's ability to read the dvds. Like said before, it is probably the brand of dvds. They are picky like that.

 

I don't know, It seems to me that players sample the disk before they play to determine that everything is copacetic. If it determines that the audio might damage your speakers I would hope that it wouldn't play, wouldn't you. Imagine having your sets volume all the way up and putting one of those dvd's in the player. BAMM! there go your TV's Speakers. There must be some safety mechanism to prevent that from happening.
