Basic Guide How to Convert AVI Files to DVD with Avi2DVD

[src2206]

I tried both DivX and XviD and I have both the codecs installed.

Moreover can this program handle x264 video and if it can do I need the codec to be installed to allow it to convert?
In case I need to install the codec, please give me the link to download.

For x264, AVC MP4, I would like to recommend you to download the ffdshow and Haali's Matroska Splitter from the link below:

Hey Ben and everyone. Thanks for taking the time to write the guide. I have a very simple query that i could not find the answer to after reading through all 11 pages of posts.

I'm trying to convert a 80mb wmv file to DVD but when I hit go it tells me I need 9Gb of space. This seems a bit extreme for such a small file. Sorry if this is an obvious question but how do I make the output smaller?

I've turned off the 'Make Iso' option on the output screen and chose the HCEnc encoder. Audio Bitrate is set to 320.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Simon

Hi, could someone please help me out? (Because I NEED this DVD by tomorrow!)
I followed all of the directions in this guide, and succeded in making a DVD. I burned it with Disc Juggler, and when I encountered this problem failed again with DVD Decrypter. The problem is that whenever I burn a DVD image and put it into my DVD player, the audio is very messed up. First of all, it is extremely quiet, and also it sounds warped. Also the .avi file sounds perfect on my computer.
Help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi Niko,

You are not very clear about the problem that you are having ... but do this, it might solve your problem ...

1) Use GSpot to get your current Original AVI's attributes ... settings.

2) When converting keep it simple and not too many changes from the original AVI setting.

3) Convert using either HcEnc or QuEnc

4) Get the ***.ISO file

5) Burn this Image ISO file using "ImgBurn 2.3.0.0" ... which is a freeware ... but accepts "Donations" ... it is a bullet-proof method of burning an ISO. It is made by the Author of DVDDecrypter.

You should be able to have anice DVD now that is compliant and will play.

G!

i have an avi i've had wrongly timed audio on when i burned it before with other programs (something wrong with the conversion) that include DVDflick. hopefully this program won't do that (the avi has perfect audio timing). any people can guarantee me audio timing? and, which files should i burn to the DVD in the end? with nero? (i have nero 5) or img burn? (if so, please give me a link for img burn) or anything else?

some avi's may play fine but because of errors they are harder to convert and keep the audio in sycn

I am testing the new dvd flick beta

http://members.home.nl/meuwissenth/dvdflick_setup_1.2.2.0_beta.exe

includes imgburn already, I don't burn until I test the result tho

I gave this one a try with no luck so far it never changes the avi to anything but avi and always fails and stops right before finished.

I wonder if there is a bug with the beta I am going to see if there is an older version and see if that will work.

Hi folks,

@ Chewy ... What is the "Major" difference between last Stable DVDFlick 1.2.1.4 and this BETA version 1.2.2.0?

Q1: Does it Encode any faster than before?

And how did you get your hands on the Beta Version ... you must be well-liked and have connections!!!

Thanks,

G!

DVDFlick 1.2.1.4

was a mistake in the script, and should have been pulled from the download page, use the beta

OK, with the original file still loaded with VirtualDubMod, please press Streams and select Stream list. When the Available streams dialog opens, right-click the source file and select "Full processing mode", right-click the file again and choose "Compression", select "No compression (PCM)", and then click OK. Please save the file and try with Avi2dvd again

Regards

I have done all of this but I still am unable to get an "audiostream"

[blutach]

Might be easier to start your own new thread Zarley, describing exactly what you have and what your problem is.

Also, try using DVD Flick.

Hi, I found this thread using Google searching for "avi2dvd dvd will not play."

I have read through this thread, and while my situation is simliar, I think I have some special circumstance.

My company made an anniversary video, to celebrate it's 25th anniversary. the file format on that video is .wmv. I used Camtasia Studio to convert it to AVI (uncompressed video and audio.) The file size is 14gb.

I then used guides and how-to's to plug it into avi2dvd, and have been able to produce an iso image file and everything else. My issue comes with when I go to play that DVD, it will not play. It just opens the disc in win dows explorer.

When I use DVDFlik, everything works fine.

I should mention that I created a DVD Menu with the option to play the movie (start button) and then different chapter buttons (15 different clips from employees, each employee's clip is a chapter.) I had to use the "seconds" chapter setting not minutes, as the entire video is only 8.5 minutes long.

I can post screenshots of my setup. I was using the HCEnc encoder.

Computer spec'd @:
Dell Precision 390
Inteal C2Q Q6600 @ 2.66
4GB DDR2-667
Nvidia Quadro Fx (256MB)
dual 15K Raptors in Raid 1 ( i think.. maybe raid 0)

Thanks for any help or input you can provide.

EDIT: I also do know how to burn an ISO file. I have tried Nero 8 Ultra, as well as imgburn wit hteh same results. Just opens the CD in windows explorer with the TS_VIDEO and TS_AUDIO folders
