How do I play/burn .avi files?

i have the newer version of nero (6.6) and (6.6.0.12) how do i burn avi files to a dvd r
please tell me thanks

P.S i am a begginer so dont use any technical terms and i was able to burn with the older version not the newer version

I am gonna lose it soon, i have created a movie in Premiere Pro, I can export it as an avi, VCD, SVCD but I can’t burn it to DVD, I’m doing something wrong but don’t know what!!!! I have Nero and have tried burning it straight through there but with no luck. When I go to export to dvd, i choose a 7mb variable bit rate but during the transcoding it just stops, it’s not crashed but just stops half way! HELP ME!!!

does ne1 know how i can burn an avi file onto a dvd disk. i have roxio at the moment but it is not letting me!!!! plz reply soon

To use the same tread. Im also new to making dvd´s from other filee formats.
Anyone know, if i can burn mpeg4 format directly to an dvd , and then play it on my dvd player or is it only mpeg1 + mpeg2 formats, that allows it ?

I have a questions.

First of all, i got lots of movies in my comp. and they are all in .avi format, but i looked everywhere to find converter from .avi to .bin and there are not converters like that. Ok so i found converter from .avi to .mpeg and my .avi movies is 699MB but when its converter into mpeg its 820MB which cant be fit on cd, even if i convert .mpeg into .bin and .cue. So my question is this:

Is there any kind of a program that converts .avi to .bin and stays the same quality and size so i can put it on my cd-r.

Thanks in Advance

Um yes but you do understand that by turning that .avi file into a .bin file does not change the file format. Meaning if you did turn it into a .bin file and burn it, it would just put the .avi file on the disk and there would be no .bin files left. .Bin files is image of a disk. So really dont understand why you would want to do this. Just convert that .avi into a dvd format{thats .vob and .bup} files. But it will easily double in size and wouldnt fit on a cd-r anymore. See you download a movie in .bin and .cue form and you put it on a disk and it plays on your dvd player correct? The reason why is because it’s a replica of the original dvd. the files on there are .vob and .bup files because thats all your standalone dvd player recognizes. Except for .jpg inwhich is a picture file. Hope this help you some.

Lee420 Thank You

Get the Neu Neo MPEG4 DVD player. I have one, and all my burned .avi files, divx and xvid.. whatever I throw at it, works fine. I bought one for $140, region free goodness.

I love this, but you could probably find something cheaper that does similar crap, but I don’t know about it, so i suggest my model.

There’s nothing like downloading episodes of American Dad and burning it, then watching it on TV in my living room.

I just use a ATI graphics card and hooked it up to my t.v. and i dl a movie and play from my computer while a watch it in my living room. And having a nice video card allows you to do this and plus makes all the games look and play really nice. Just another option for ppl.

thanx a lot

I have 13 avi format files and I want to put them on DVD 4.7GB and be able to watch them on my normal DVD player. My DVD player does not support DivX. Please help.

Tom,
Use Nero Vision Express 3 or TMPGenc Express to make ur files DVD compliant and then burn them into a DVD-R.Is this what u r looking for?

Everything that you need to know can be found here: http://www.torialtown.co.uk/index.php?content=how-tos/how_to_make_a_vcd.html

I use a program called DVD Santa. First I put the avi file in santa and make the files into VOB format then I take the VOB and put it in DVD Shrink
(another program) and burn it to dvd right there.

Hope that helps a little

Hey Butterman,

Where do i get the easy video splitter? I need to split the movies too. Some movies are too big.

Mark read all the above and ya know wath to do...

I need too

I had a ** ****.avi movie and so i wanted to make a VCD

out of it. I used Nero Vision 3 to make the VCD and it gave

me all these great options like scene selection, menu

template and stuff. The encoding and burning went fine, but

when I tested the VCD in my DVD player, it just shows the

scene selection menu at the beginning of the of the VCD and

won’t let me play the movie. When i play try to play or fast

forward oranything at that menu, the DVD player won’t allow

me to. I tested it in like 3 different stand alone DVD players

and i wasted like 3 CD-R’s in this process. Can anyone tell me

what i’m doing wrong?

anyone know any good free for download vcd burning software that can burn 700 mbs to a cd-r.The cd burner that I have is an HP cd-writer 9300.
