Simple way to convert .avi formats to dvd

[octane]

Anyone?

[impaler]

I use WinAVI - it does it all with minimum effort. I'm sure you can come by a copy from one of the usual 'outlets'...

Or buy a DVD player that plays AVI files.

Could wait for daz to reply, but I can reccomend VSO divx to DVD (avi files converted to dvd quickly with very good quality picture and sound ). Teaman reccomended it also in another thread some time ago.

Anyway, here is a cracked version. Try it out see if it does the job!

I use it to convert my 'Lost' avi files so i can watch it on my dvd player in the living room...widescreen ya know!

I use NeoDVD. This gives me the option of making my own menus. The new Nero is reported to do this too.

Or alternatively use VSO DivX to DVD that is good you get all the quality but no menu I'm afraid.

[Edit] You beat me to it Tokarev. [/Edit]

[HerbalDayZ]

I find with DIVXto DVD it takes around an hour per file WinAVI only takes 10 minutes.

Both are good altho if i remember right divx to dvd doesnt burn does it.I foudn i had to convert the files then use DVDShrink to burn it.

If you want to get into converting burning these are what i would sugest you had

Dvd decrypter (good for also making ISO files)
Dvd Shrink exellent quality an its free
WinAVI
an DivXtoDVD

So to put all of my 700mb+ films onto dvd's (all are avi, some are dvix and what not) I will use winavi (got it) to convert and then dvd shrink to get them onto dvd. Good stuff, thanks. Always found the quality rubbish when you shrink them so never bothered putting them onto dvd as the point of dvd = good quality.

[HerbalDayZ]

Exaclty right m8 .I also have 12 episodes of LOST series 2 .An have put them all onto 1 dvd like 5 hours of LOST its sweet .

If you get stuck add me to msn ill go thru it with you if you would like

I have tried converting Avi/mpeg to DVD before and got horrible results. Not sure which programs I used though. I'll give some of the ones mentioned a try. At the moment I play AVI files straight off my PC onto my TV and the quality is very good. But it would be handy to have them on DVD too.

I used to get problems too, sometimes it would take 45 mintues sometimes about 13 hours.

Tried just about everything including new dvd rw tmgpenc nero etc and didn't get great results. I think its the dvd players in my house though.

[instigator]

I used to use Nero encode or something like that. Horrible results, unacceptable really and it took 4 hours to encode and burn from a straight avi.

I have a 80gb Hard Drive filled with films and I really need space so I really should start recording them onto dvd soon. 119 films I think it is.

[octane]

I just used the VSO DivX to DVD that tokarev posted to burn Aeon Flux on to a DVD; took just over an hour, and the quality is just the same as the source as far as I can tell.

Top stuff.

[HerbalDayZ]

Can i ask did it take you 1 hour to convert ?

If so please try WinAVI you would be much more happy with a 15 min job an burnt in 10 25 mins instead of about an hour an half.

Who said they got 119 films on 80 gig they must be terible quality .A normal DvD rip to avi is atleast 700-800mb a DvD is 4.3 gig

i would be a bit worried on some that the sync on sound or vid may be out.

Ocatane as i said if you would like to add me to msn ill be happy to send you winavi an any other programs you might want.

WinAVI is what I tried and the quality was hideous.

Trueblue what kind of pc do you have m8 .Just so people understand you do need a pretty powerfull pc to convert films well .I would personaly say a pent 4 or Amd 2000xp or higher

I currently have a AMD64 with 1 gig of ram so its pretty fast for me

Herbal - I'm the one with the 120 odd films sitting on my hard drive. They're all about 720mb big, maybe 2 or 3 1.35gb or so. Not dire quality whatsoever to me!

[octane]

Well, it worked fne on my DVD player, but I tried on someone elses's low end player, and the sound was fubar.

[HerbalDayZ]

Instigator wanna share i got about 200 movies an plenty of games
