Title: Making DVD's
Post by: KoRo on August 21, 2006 10:41 am CDT

So, my mom has this avi file related to her nutrition class that she wants burned to a DVD so it can be playable in a DVD player. Does anyone know of any programs that will convert and burn video files to be compatible w/ DVD players? I thought I was onto something with Nero Studio 7, but the DVD it ended up with failed miserably. Thanks =)

This guide http://http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/avi_to_dvd_avi2dvd.cfm looks simpler than this guide http://http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/avi2dvdr.htm.

Go to hell Macrovision for stealing DVD Decrypter away from us.

For now I will have to go pro skub.

That sucks, but I only ever used it as a last resort, anyway. There are other programs that work just as well.

Thanks Xenos for the help, but both of the programs failed to work. I kept getting a message like "Could not load libavcodec MPEG2". I've tried googling it and no solutions came up (wasnt surprised, for something obscure as this). Even the Afterdawn forums didn't have anything useful either. There's a thread titled "Convert AVI, Xvid, DivX to DVD", but the programs in there were even less useful than Avi2Dvd.

*sigh*

I think all I need is an encoder or SOMETHING to convert an Avi to any format that can be burned to DVD (even ISO). Does anyone (Slorge, Parti, Darwin?) have any programs capable of doing that?

You can't covert to something you don't have a codec for, which is what I believe you're missing.
avi2dvd is an excellent program, lots of features/options, pretty easy to use. Once you get the files you need to convert things.

Instead of a long, time consuming guide, I'll let Doom9 do it for me:

I was actually looking for a way to convert .ogg to .avi or another dvd burnable format, wasn't really able to find anything, though.
