Best software to burn .AVI file to DVD?

[SuperSix]

Thanks!

You want to burn it to play in a DVD player or just burn the AVI onto the DVD?

So it plays in a set-top DVD.

I'd say either Tmpeg Author or I think Nero has a DVD authoring program. Those would probably be the easiest.

Nero 6 and higher will do it for you - beware it will take awhile to convert to a DVD-burnable format.

VideoHelp.com is a good place to get...well...help. I've been using Tmpeg and it is very easy.

FWIW, I've had a few problems with the Nero authoring program (using the 6.0 Ultra suite) and some AVI files. Made a half dozen coasters to go with a half dozen successful burns. Not pleased with a 50% success rate. Maybe I'm missing a patch or something.

You need to reencode to MPEG2.
Try D.I.K.O

dvdsanta

TMPEGENC and DVD author.

i use pinnacle studio 9 for burning home videos to dvd.

 

[MrScott81]

DVD2SVCD is the best program for this task....(just select AVI as input and DVD as output)...

Not if you have an All-in-Wonder. It takes about 15 minutes to recompress a DVD down to 4.3GB on my machine if AEC is turned off and not using the TV tuner (TV tuner grabs exclusive access to the compressor). During that 15 minutes, the CPU is mostly idle, waiting on the DVD reads.

i too would like to know how to do this. i know Nero Vision (i believe thats the name) will do Avi -> DVD, however, with my XVid's i'm trying to burn to dvd format, it will not work.

anyone know how to convert xvid avi files to dvd compatible format?

We're talking about converting from what it usually Divx or Xvid to MPEG-2, not compressing a DVD9 to 4.3gb.

that not so fresh feeling

Whoo!

Great. I got TMPEG, and now I have 2 USELESS FILES!!

I now have it in AVI, AND M2V.. (with accompanying audio files)

What can I use these files for to BURN THEM TO A GODDAMN DVD?

How many more fvckin utilities and how many more fvcking times do I have to spend2 hours converting this goddamn file?

***EDIT***
OK ok..

Now I see it's TMPEG authoring. I just have the editting utility. :|

Looks like I'll be getting DVD Santa.. THis is fvcking rediculous

 

[whistleclient]

try dvdsanta

 

[Al Neri]

how can you combine two avi files (say cd1 divx and cd 2 divx) into 1 avi to burn to a dvd? i tried with some program - maybe tmpgenc? and it said that the streams didnt sync up)

 

[SuperSix]

Nice.. Over 4 hours (and a nearly crippled computer) to encode one movie.

The RIAA has nothing to worry about in regards to DVD's.

Fvckin joke

 

[Queasy]

That really is TMPEnc's problem. They've got some nice utilities but the functionality is spread over too many different applications.
