How to burn an avi or xvid movie to play it in a dvd player ?????

[Saleen]

Hi

I download few movie on the net but i can only burn it in vcd or svcd mode using 2 normal cd because the movie is to big to fit on only one cd and i have to compress it a lot to fit on 2 cd. Can i use a program that can compress or convert a movie to fit on one blank cd or blank dvd ????????

Most of the standalone players these days will play XviD or DivX encoded AVI flawlessly.So ,u can burn ur XviD as Data-DVD and it will play in ur player.But ,first confirm that ur player supports XviD/DivX.

there is also Kvcd. for the work and quality loss, i'd rather get a 40$ new player thta plays xvid though....

If you are looking for a program to compress your file, then DVD shrink is what you need.

If you are looking for a converter, I can recommend you ConvertxtoDVD, AVI2DVD, WINAVI...

try any of those program and see if it will help you

XviD or DviX enabled players are the easiest thing for you to utilize. If that is not an option, or the file is not in an AVI in one of those two formats (which are nowhere near as popular as some posters on this board want you to think) there are other easy options.

The highest quality way to convert a video without going to $1000 software is to use the relatively inexpensive NeroVision. The trial version can convert it for you if this is a one time type thing for you. you can download it from Nero's website or any number of other sites out there. The latest series of releases support Blu-Ray as well if you decide to keep it.

To use the trial version, first install the K-lite complete/full codec pack (it has an identical file in it that Nero charges for) then install Nero. Click on the start link for NeroVision and choose burn to DVD or Copy to DVD from the menu, depending on your version. It may also be Make DVD. click through the next buttons and add menus, chapter breaks, etc. then burn it. It also makes VCD/SVCD and MiniDVDs on a CD for you.

If this is going to be a regular thing for you you can move up to one of the Adobe suites as they can handle anything you may want to do, ever. They cost alot, but you get what you pay for and the current software from Adobe can make HD DVDs and Blu-Ray DVDs, and with the proper plug-ins, can handle the 15 or so other HD formats out there as well.

avi2dvd

i have the same problem trying to convert a avi file to iso so i can burn it,i d/l avi2dvd but i can't get it to let me pick an audio stream, i went on to the forums page for this problem and they said i should change the file path if anybody has any experience with please help i will need u to break it down for me because i am a noob at this

I cant help you with avi2dvd, i have never used it myself and besides why would you convert your .avi files to ISO?

Anyway if you want to convert your .avi files to ISO, TMPGenc can do that.

If you are reffering to watch your .avi files on your standalone DVD player, which does not support Xvid/Divx format, then you will have to convert them to DVD files.

Speaking of DivX Stand-alone players ... which Brand do you guys like for under $60 ... Philips or Panasonic, or Toshiba? For the "Quality" of the Video playback?

Thanks!

Try an Aspire. If you can be, well, gentle with it, they are dirt cheap, and play just about anything you can throw at it, DVD, +r, -R, -RW, -RW -Ram XviD DivX WMA WAV MP3 WMV MP2, MPG/EG. One with every feature will run about $40-$70, but like I said, they're made of plastic, hence the price, so treat it like a woman, and she'll make you real happy.

Hi Lostinlodos,

Thanks for the Player Info ... and dude you are one funny guy ... when you said handle her like a woman and she will nice to you ... in my case it never works ... they get meaner to me.

THANKS AGAIN,
G!

Lite-on also makes a home player, but you'll need to get it from one of the non-US amazon sites, try amazon.co.jp or amazon.co.uk. It runs about $69.99 and plays just about everything, but it's fussy with burns. If there is even a minor burn err it will fail you. I just got a new Aspire AD-8000, and I'm happy. It's built better than the rest, but it's more expensive.

Try this
change the file name and have it end with .avi

them move it to your c disk and then use the avi2DVD program - that worked for me. And just remember all the .'; stuff you can not use to name a file with.
