Buring .avi's

A:I

hey guys, what would be the easiest was to burn a .avi file to DVD so i could watch it on a dvd player? Can i just use nero? :beer:

Not unless your DVD player supported divx and your AVI file was encoded with DivX

Otherwise you will need some sort of converter program. There are plenty out there you can try before you buy. Personally I found the package from cucusoft to be good. http://www.avi-to-dvd.com/ Your mileage may vary.

Once converted then you can use Nero to burn.

Not only divx - Xvid as well.

If you have an .avi compatible DVD player you can burn them as data discs in Nero

I'd second Avi-2-dvd. Does exactly what it says on the tin!

I found this very helpful and it works ... I burn most of my dvd's this way - it also converts them if you don't have a divx dvd player

P.S. and it's free :j

I use Windows DVD maker, came as part of Vista , works a treat, encodes AVI no problem, and you can add titles etc

erm, use nero. I use that, you create menus and then it encodes everything to dvd and burns it. leave it overnight when youre not using your comp otherwise the sound will be out of sync

Nero should work.

You might want to have a look at:

http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_free_utilities.htm

Which lists around 100 free - really free - great utilities.

For hassle free copying of any DVD, then you can't beat the combination of https://www.slysoft.com - AnyDVD - but must be paid for (worth everypenny), plus DVDshrink - freeware, plus Nero for burning. Slysoft also have an excellent package that converts DVDs to mobile player formats - PSP, Zen, etc.
