AVI to ISO where can I get free program

[Janset]

Hi all.

I have a few .AVI format movies that I can only play on my computer.

Does anyone know where I can get a free program that will convert AVI to ISO so that I can burn to DVD for normal viewing?

Any help appreciated.

Re-ripping these movies from the originals will give you much better quality.

AVI is a video format. ISO format is a standard to CD/DVD images.
You need AVI to DVD conversion, then you can build an ISO of your DVD and burn it.

An ISO is just a CD/DVD image. You probably mean convert to DVD video, then create an ISO. Just creating an ISO of the avi by itself won't help much. Same goes for an ISO after converting to DVD video, you can just burn the VIDEO_TS folder directly.

Hi guys.

Thanks for the responses. To be quite candid, I do not really know what I want/need. All I can say is that I was given a DVD that had a number of episodes of a TV series but these I can not view on the TV as the format is as said, in the AVI format..

I need to know how I can get the existing AVI format converted so that I can view it on my TV just as if it was an ordinary DVD from the corner Video store.

All help appreciated.

yeah forget ISO. from what i understand, all you want here is to convert .avi to dvd format (make a regular dvd to be played on set-top players. the guide soup gave will work. there are also other software to choose from.

Another approach would be to buy a MPEG-4/AVI compatible player.

I have 215 avi files that I want to burn to DVD, or ISO. Obviously, it will take more than one DVD, but every program I try, either to join, convert, or what ever, doesn't work. Either it freezes, or won't load all the files, etc.
What are my options?

What are you going to watch it on? Do you have an HDTV? You can get an upconverting DVD player that will play .avi format for less than $60. Most of the Philips upconverting DVD players will play .avi .divx and .wmp.

Or the lazy way out may be to get a box that plays right off the HD. There are several set top boxes what will upconvert .avi to HD and play many formats right from the HD such as a USB external drive or an internal drive in a USB docking station.

Just use Imgburn to burn the disc. It won't try to convert to DVD video.


Many of the DVD players won't play .avi that's HD format(larger than 720x576 resolution) whereas many set top boxes such as WD HDTV player for USB drives and others will.

If you don't care about HD then a DVD player that plays .avi and .divx may be all you need. Every Philips DVD player I ever purchased played avi/divx.

Use Imgburn to burn the DVDs if that's how you want to go. It won't try to convert to DVD video format.

He'd have to convert 215 movies to DVD. More economical to just buy an avi player.

A avi movie is a compressed movie file format, usualy Divx or Xvid. If you want to play avi files directly on DVD player, you need to go and buy a Divx compatible dvd player. You can get them on E-bay for around $50 Aus.

To play on non Divx dvd players, you need to convert avi to DVD or ISO format, there are many program online that can burn avi file to dvd, I personally use aimersoft dvd creator to convert popular video to dvd.

there are many converter software products out there. the one I have found to give the best results is Convertxtodvd. It supports many diferent formats and will convert to your specs and burn to dvd. You can also add multiple file to each dvd. but thats my opinion.
just google avi to dvd or avi to vob. good luck
