divx converter

[eiric]

Hi

Could someone tell me how to convert a divx movie to a format that can be played on a DVD player ?

What program should be used for this ?

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 ;>}

Thanks for your help !

Maybe you have some suggestions to what kind of video and audio settings I should use (In "TMPGEnc"). I want it to look ok on TV, but also want most of my videos to be kept on just one DVD.

How much does "DVDshrink" actually shrink the films ?

My pleasure ;>}

Again, use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this - Doing so will take care of all appropriate/required settings...
