Putting AVI's to DVD

[primogen]

hi
just bought a dvd burner (pioneer -/+) and want to put avi movies onto it so i can watch them on a dvd player.

Very new at this and getting confused as to what procedure to use and which programs to get.
Is there a step by step system to work by so i can do this on my own?
what programs should be used etc. ?

I would appreciate any help there is to offer thankyou

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" v.1.5.11.37 (a different program than "TMPGEnc) to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)


**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress


If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")


Let us know of your success ;>}

One or two thing I want to remind you, that is the bundle software you have (when you bought your DVD burner) is enough to make DVD movie from .AVI files. I think any one of the programs below will help you create DVD easily (from .mpeg or .avi files) :
Ulead VideoStudio
Ulead MovieFactory
Sonic MyDVD
You can find the guide in the help menu or from the software's website. It's easy to use, try a few times and you will have experience.
