No it aint my dvd either. I've never had any problems playing or converting mpgs, mpegs, or even most avis. It's just with some of the avis I am having problems. But so far I have'nt had any problems when playing these same files on the wmp 11. But when I try to use my dvd burning program to play back the file(avi.) or convert it to dvd the picture becomes destorted. But only on some of the avis. And some how when using the wmp 11 the problem is fixed. What, how, and why is this?

Try burning them at the slowest rate possible and if the option a is vailable set the encoding mode to High Quality(2-PassVBR). Burning at a slower speed is more reliable. Less chance something will be corrupted.
