  • AVI -> DVD

    Now that I have a DVD player and a DVD writer (I bought the NEC 25100A), I wanna get my avi films off my computer so I can watch them on my widescreen TV.

    How do I convert from AVI to DVD?

    get an AVI converter (ie this http://www.winmpg.com/ ). Don't do it though if you don't have a back-up computer to use while it's converting because it takes a day or two.

      WinMPG keeps getting an error and closing. Yes, I tried re-downloading and installing.

      It takes 2 days? :/

          I don't think he is asking about MEPG -> Avi, but how to burn avi onto a DVD which can be played in a normal DVD player.

              What I want to know is, how do you make .wav or .mp3 into streaming music? HUH?
              The pleasure's all mine.

                You can use Ulead Video Studio 8 to create DVDs, I used #7 of that and had success with most .avi and .mpegs. It took 5-6 hours for a full film. It's pretty easy to use too (inserting chapters, menu making etc) and simple to get a copy of in certain places.

                However you will probably if not inevitably, get very bored of doing this everytime, as your CPU is hogged for the full duration. Sometimes your computer may crash in the middle or the resulting DVD isn't a good quality. If you have £32 spare quid you can get one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...132312-4043609
                second-hand (£50 normal). You'll never encode again and can stuff 6-7 full films in one DVD =)

                  I used a simple converter, then used nero to create a VCD with a menu etc.

                  I burnt the HL2 footage

                    the program I posted was supposed to do convertions between avi, mpeg, vcd, svcd and dvd formats, dunno.

                          Check if your dvd player plays svcd's (normally does), then just burn the avi with nero to svcd and put it in...

                          Its frustrating to write these lines after every post^
                          I'd hope there would be another way..like some automatic system that fills them itself after every post.

                              Nailed, you've gotta convert before burning. Convert AVI -> DVD format then you're able to burn.. it's easiest o_O
