    If you are trying to CONVERT the .AVIs to DVD format, 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 ;>}

        Have you converted the .avi files to .mpeg files using the procedure above suggested by setarip?

          I dl lots AVI movies
          Maybe it is the source of these "downloaded movers". I have heard that many of them are not that good of quality to start with.

            Just get VSO DivX to DVD.
            Load your avi, and encode it.
            Burn the VIDEO_TS folder it creates.

            When you get a little patience, and want to learn how to do it right, come back and post some specific questions. We'd be glad to recommend software and procedures that work.
