.avi To DVD?

[The Ironist]

Say if i were to download a .avi film what is the best software to write it to dvd so that it could be played on a bog standard dvd player?

ive been doing this for a few years now, the best ive come across and use all the time is TMPGEnc DVD Author 3.

You can get a copy if you know how to use Bit Torrent which im sure you do

Load AVI, create menus if you want, split into tracks, burn. It will then play in normal players.

or nero vision.

Only one i've tried. It's good but i have no reference point to compare it to.

Bit Torrent? Never heard of it.

Will give both a go to see which one i like the most. Thanks for suggestions

One thing I realised some time ago is that not all apps appear to to be able to convert the 5.1 audio from Xvids etc. that contain such a soundtrack. This is a consideration if you are using such files and have a surround system hooked up to your DVD player.

DIVx or Nero works ok for me.

there is a proggie called avi2dvd
and its the best one-click solution around.

I think that's what I use to use. I only found one good app that would mantain the 5.1 audio. I think that may have been it

ive tried both avi2dvd and Nero, i have to say TMPGEnc is rated higher than both in both ease of us and features. But find out for yourself.

If the DVD player supports DivX then there's no need to convert it. Just burn it to CD/DVD.

That's what I always use. Then I just use Imageburn to drop the image onto a disk. It even works under Vista Ultimate 64!!.
