This is for all forum members and googlers with this same problem.

After about a week of frustration, I had this strange "invalid filename" error that would just pop up. I even did the shorter simple names and put it at the lowest directory possible. C:/ I:/ etc... But I noticed at one folder still permitted me to encode without that error. It was the one with the "Avi2dvd_temp" folder in there. Of course I started running a few in there and found out that all of the avi's stuck together if it shares the same folder.

So to fix this invalid filename problem, try to manually create the folder within your movie folder "Avi2dvd_temp". That's the folder that is automatically generated when you start the process. For some reason it stopped for me until I made it.
