    You need to get your hands on a copy of ConvertXtoDVD.

    It is very easy, just a few clicks, it lets you set menus, chapters, quality etc then converts the file and burns it when complete.

    Check your PM for the download location.

    Don't most modern dvd players play divx files? I know that mine does so I manage to fit about 5 films on each DVD.

    DVD Flick

    Simple to use. Comes with a pictorial guide.

    Thats a bit of a mine field in my experience - hundreds of hits to various programs, some very expensive, some free downloads but then charge to use the features, some free but rubbish.

    And I'm sure that this is a legal location ( the program is $hareware ) - lol :A

    I use Convertxtodvd and Ashampoo Burning Studio 7. Both do a good job although you have to pay for them. DVD Flick sounds good.

    I use VSO's DIVXtoDVD available here
    http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_encoders/vso_divxtodvd_free.cfm

    It's the unsupported freeware version of ConvertXtoDVD,
    works like a charm for me.

    I use my Samsung DVD players - plays avi's - most do now-a-days - save you a lot of headache and messing around!

    The one click converters can be OK, but after 40 mins watch the audio go out of synch, the image be pixely or file end up massive!

    Good luck though.

    If you have Nero it natively does this.

    I use version 7.
