You want this one
DV-AVI creation from this
list. Once you create a DV-AVI, any DVD authoring software with a MPEG-2 encoder.
BTW, people recommend going to Videohelp because they get tired of answering the same questions every week. I would say more, but the search engine is broken, so it is hard to fault anyone for not getting it to work here.
Sigh........:roll: Well, here again ........where someone assumes that a topic is discussed daily/weekly/whatever.
Sooooooooooooo..................
Here's what the search will turn up for you.
Go to the "video" forum here on AT. Search "wmv dvd"........You will turn up absolutely ZERO responses.
OK, so ya' figure you're gonna risk the million post response by simply searching "wmv". Well.......guess what. That turns up exactly FOUR responses! 3 of which are unrelated to your request and ONE of which is...............let's take a look at how in-depth it is.............
Link 'cuz we wouldn't want anybody to sprain a finger......:roll:
First thing that we see is that.........welp..........even a full DAY later......nobody has an answer. OK, no problem, OP throws up another flare. Finally, somebody comes to the OP's rescue. No answers, but at least you finally get some aid. Well, that is until the last reply finally goes to................"videohelp.com".
And as posted earlier.............WMM will *not* convert to mpeg2.........and at this point, to be entirely honest.........I simply downloaded "DVDSanta" to avoid the whole Microsoft/videohelp.com/TMPGenc bullsh*t roller coaster of 3 programs to do the same thing that ONE can do & be on my merry way.
'Nuff said?
BTW............interestingly enough..........when somebody posts (for example) "YACT, which car should I buy".............those posts go on for about 60 pages w/ opinions coming out of every corner in the universe! Why don't they just point 'em to msnautos.com??? :laugh::roll:
Lastly..........thanks for the links. (I honestly do appreciate your effort to at least point me or somebody else searching in the right direction). However, again, the conversion can't be done without implementing TMPGenc (ridiculously over-bearing program) and in that particular page you pointed out, that has got to be about the most complicated way to convert one file format to another that I think I've ever seen in my life!!!!
Heck, that's $30 of my life I'll never get back just reading the thing! DVDSanta all the way!! :thumbsup:
