.AVI (divx or xvid) to DVD

[anonymez]

loopyloops,

single core - intel generally as a very very slight edge in speed over equivalent (but cheaper, quieter & cooler temp) AMD. keep in mind this also depends on the application and codec (eg xvid is known to perform faster on amd than intel)

dual core - AMD hands intel's ass on a platter, in almost all areas. nuff said

as for ram, amount doesn't matter much (with most encoding apps) after 1GB, but the faster the better. speed is mainly dependent on cpu though

Good to know - thanks!

I like the older free version of VSO DivxToDVD

Where can I find this version at? All that I can find is the one you have to pay for.

Thanks

I installed that and it says it's not free but you can try it.?

SVCD2DVD IS Not free but it's the best $20 I've spent. Great for converting most types of files, bin, avi, etc to create files to use with Shrink. Converts Pal to Ntsc during the file encoding. Also has menu creation for those who use them.

In addition there is a Super support site.

When you use this, do your .avis get bigger, i.e. can you stick lots of movies at 700mb on one DVD and watch on a standard DVD player? Is it making mpeg2s? NTSC DVD files (same thing?)?

$30! Is it the best $30 you ever spent?

ajp,
I had been searching this and some other forums for a free program that would convert my wife's many .mov files to DVD and was running in circles. Some were free trials that stamped there software info right in the niddle of the test copy, others needed to be used with as many as 4 other programs, THEN I ran across your recomendation and downloaded the DivXToDVD Converter 0.5.2b software, and what ease and instantaneous results!!

I converted straight from mov to dvd with one step and it preserved all the video quality! Thanks mate!

Just wanted to send you this thanks message, Cheers

Glad I could help.
