Divx >> DVD

Hello all

This might be a little off topic but a friend of mine requested if I could burn a few episodes of anime to a regular DVD, making it playable in a normal dvd player. I didn't really find any good category under DVD so I am just asking here.

I want to burn a whole anime serie actually, 26 episodes, each being about 200MB and 20 minutes of lenght. I am a bit confused about various things, like how many episodes would I be able to fit on a DVD (single layer) after I convert them to vob, will the file size be about the same or will it change after the convert? and also simply how I should do it, what programs would be best to use, I would be thankful for any kind of help. =)

I have been looking around a little and found a program called dvd2avi but it seems only to be able to handle one file at a time. I wonder if anyone had experiance using it or if they are recommanding something else?

Thanks in advance!

what form are these files in right now?

"each being about 200MB and 20 minutes of lenght". has to be a pretty highly compressed video/ mpeg 4 I would say. What does the quality of the video look like now ? To find out what the format of the video/audio is use Gspot or avicodec (both free)

Hello,

As for converting these files to a vob use DivxToDVD fast and free (a soon to be out commercial version will tell you when you've added to many files to fit onto one DVD--for now this needs to be calculated by you)

Select multiple file for conversion by holding down the control button while using the browser to select files.

GNU Version try - http://weethet.nl/english/video_diko_avi2dvd.php

Paid - Use Mainconcept MPEG Encoder and then DVDlab

Both work well
