I've having trouble with high quality dvd rip of movies. Its fine as divx avi file but when I converted using convertxtodvd which took almost 4 hours, it came out all pixelated(???) I dont how to describe it other than a lot of boxes, like macro-blocking. When I burnt it on the dvd, it was even worse.
I've used this software maybe 2 other times and never gave me this problem.
The size of the two movies are 1.4gb and 715mb.

Thanks for any information provided.

Heres my log. I know my dvd burn failed but I burned on nero later. Its my converted ripped copy on my drive that looks bad.
