AVI:s to DVD?

[Pattesteros]

Hi!

Another newbie question from me. Don't know if it even belongs in this forum.....sorry in that case.

I have lots of AVI:s and MPEG:s on my PC. Does anyone know a way (easy if possible) to turn those into DVD:s? I guess with a DVD burner it's no need to mess around with SVCD:s...right?

Thanx!

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" (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 ;>}

audio problems

Hello again!

Now I had tried to make DVD:s from both DivX AVI:s and MPEG:s. But in both cases there was no audio. I chosed in the wizard DVD PAL (since I'm in Sweden) and the default setting "CBR Linear PCM Audio".

The problem in both cases (from AVI and MPEG) is that the wav file is created but totally silent. What do I do wrong?

Then I have another...maybe stupid question. When using the wizard, on the last screen the default setting seam to be to use the whole DVD disc.....even if the film itself takes about half the space. When I have tried to make dvd:s then I have used DVD Shrink in the last phase to cut only the part of the created file that accually contains any film (did you understand )

....so.....how can I already in TMPGEnc Plus set the settings so that it's not reeated a full DVD if not nessesary. I guess I can type in something in "estimated file size" But how can I know how big the file will be....??

Hope someone can explain.....thanx in advance
