avi to dvd

how do i put a avi file that i download on to a dvd? how do i convert it?

[rsquirell]

first you need to convert it to MPEG2....and then use an author program to create the DVD and burn it to disc. One way to do this (there are many) is to use TMPGenc to create the MPEG2, and TMPGenc DVD Author toauthor the DVD (and if you are XP or 2K it will burn the disc as well.) Another would be to use ULead Video Studio 7 to convert, author and burn. There are many other solutions. Search the forum and read.

Further to "rsquirell's" post:

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 ;>}
