hey kidderhooker you were right i tried your program
well the software you said we should try ands it worked great
let me tell you from one to ten i give it an eight cause

it does no gives you many apearence options for the menu but
it just works great.

it took me about 3 hours but it was perfect.

and when you finished convetring the .avi files

just open nero express > dvd > videodvd > drag the .bup .ifo and .mpeg hit burn button > sellect 2x or 4x for best results and put a name (all in caps) and finished

you have your avi files in a dvd and your able to play it anywhere.

Can’t be done. You need a divx/xvid/mpeg4 enabled dvd player. The logo for one or more of those will be printed on the box the dvd player came in and maybe on the player itself. More and more of the newer players play these but not all. I spent a lot of time converting avis to vcd and svcd until I realised that for 60 euros (now only 50) I could get a player that would play avis. Well worth the investment. When/if you do get one, the answer to your question is burn the avi to cd (treat it as data, which takes about 10 mins) and then shove it in the player. Voilá! "


How were you able to treat the avi files as data? I tried burning 710 - 720 +MB worth of avi files into a cd-r but my DVD player can’t read it? I’ve tried burning the same files thru nero but it always says that the 700MB cd-r isn’t enough so i tried treating it as data files and it did reduced it but now my dvd player cant read it???

the best way - buy a DVD player, that opens the avi files and you will be able to burn six movies on one DVD and you wan’t have to wait forever for encoding.

you need dvd creator plus and blank dvd, dvd creator plus can ocnvert video to dvd, edit dvd menu and burn it. very good and easy to use. you can try it:

you 'd better install ffdshow codec, select all the audio and video codec formats.

I have recently switched from XP to Vista, and I have the latest version of Nero that is Vista compatible. I downloaded a movie and it is an .avi file and it plays fine, but when I go to burn it onto a DVD it stops working. Do I still need a divx codec in order for the file to burn because it seems to me that I have divx because the media player plays the file just fine. I even tried the windows Vista Burn DVD option and it says the file is corrupted, yet I played the whole movie and it’s not corrupted.
What should I do?

Well, what if you don’t want to necessarily watch the files, you just want to put a various number of .avi files onto DVD to save space on your hard drive? What would you say be the best program for that?
I have abosultely no intention to convert the files. It defeats my purpose.

I want to burn my avi (Downloaded from the net)movies fast, as I can with this program I found from Austraila, called express burn. but, I only have one mpeg 4 player/recorder, that will play these burned movies.
I also have a new portable dvd player that wont play express burns movies, (bought in 2006) where can I find this burning program just like Express burn, but will play like a vob movie that you rent in the store, on all of my players?
also similar to CONVERTODVD, but less than 1 hr. express burn burns 5 movies to one dvd in 15 min. (and my pc is old, 2001)

Thanks for any help. P.S. Im only looking to burn movies from my pc with this program, I already have a program to burn DVD TO DVD.

You guys are all missing the big plot. Get NERO 7 and create you’re own DVDs. Form AVIs, MPGs what ever!!!!!

.VOB : you have to use a program like WinAvi to convert your video files like .wma or .avi into these files that will be able to be played on a dvd player...
but there is an alternate
if you get some of these new dvd players they have the capability to play .avi files (as data files)
SO, basically you just have to burn the .avi files onto a blank cd or dvd as a data file and it’ll be able to show up on the dvd player.
.VOB takes too damn long that’s why i’m not doing that.

IT SAYS NO DISC BECAUSE YOUR DVD PLAYER DOESN’T SUPPORT XVID OR THAT TYPE OF FORMAT!!!!
