Default AVI to DVD

Hi
Does anyone know how to convert AVI to DVD? or can you just record the AVI footage onto DVD disc to play in the DVD player?

Thank you

Hi Monsterscud, maybe this will help.

Converting the AVI format to crystal clear DVD format is now a piece of cake. There are several free and commercial pieces of software available that makes the conversion of AVI to DVD format quick and easy. You can use video converting software such as ConvertXtoDVD to make your AVI files DVD compatible; the software is available for free, but the free version has a transparent company logo in the background. After buying the software, the watermark vanishes.

If your DVD player is DivX compatible you only have to copy the avi files to a DVD-R/RW etc.

I have tried a few different file conversion progs and the best in my experience is TmpGenc 4.0 Xpress.

Thats correct Mark

Also if you have one of the new style DVD players that can play A.V.I Divx /Xvid contained files with the correct codec reader then you can connect this to a DVD recorder through a scart lead and then make a recording to the Hard drive and then burn to a DVD-R or DVD+R that will be in Mpeg-2. This may sound slow and long winded compared to using one of the many computer based converting programs available however the above method will reduce on screen artefacting that does occur while using these that is most visible on the blacks!
