any way i can copy avi to a dvd?

[phuk_the_law]

hey, the subject says it all!

If you actually mean convert the .AVI to DVD format and burn to DVD for playback on a conventional standalone DVD player:

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

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") 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" (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 ;>}

i used a program called cucusoft,

it's very easy to use. Although it takes ages to transform avi to dvd! it works!!!

After that you would need "ifoedit"(freeware) to Create a *.VOB, *.IFO files

Then, like setarip said you can use dvd shrink to compress then nero burning rom to put it onto a dvd disc.

If you have Nero 6 try NeroVision Express.

[Makoxo]

I think the easyiest and best think to do that is with bloody NERO 6 Nero Vision

[cassey]

yes have got nero 6 as well but if the quality of the file isn't that good it won't work!!!!!
having said that it's true that nero 6 is one of the best programms around at the moment!!!!

yeah i sat up the other day until 1am trying to do this, again, to no avail. TMPGen would not read the file as it was 800mb, and said it was too big. other programs such as cucusoft had the same proble. given up trying!

"TMPGen would not read the file as it was 800mb, and said it was too big."

Filesize should not be an issue. If the AVI file is encoded with Ac3 audio, try the following:

In TMPGEnc, under the "Environmental Settings" "VFAPI plugin" tab rightclick on the "Direct Show Multimedia Reader" and increase to the highest priority. This will allow TMPGEnc to open a properly encoded AVI file with AC3 audio.

1) Load the original video file into VirtualDub (or one of its many variants) or NanDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (BOTH video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box
