Large avi to DVD

[kgwellman]

Hi Guys,
This is my first query but probably not my last! I have been using dvdshrink to copy dvds for about six months with great results, but now I have downloaded an avi file from the internet to copy onto a dvd and I'm stuck. I have 'dvdshrink', 'anydvd' and 'nero'. I cant use dvdshrink to copy straight from the file as it doesnt recognise ' avi' (only 'iso', 'nrg', 'img' or 'mds'). Nero wont save it straight to disk as it is too big. How can I convert the 'avi' file to one that dvdshrink will recognise? A little help please.

this is the method i use for those types of files.

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI/MPG/wmv etc. to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (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
