I have a question that I know you guys can answer!! (cause you are the best! ;0) Anyway, I need to know how to get my DivX movie to a dvd so that I can watch it on my dvd player. I apoligize in advance if this has already been answered in this thread but there are 30 something pages and thats just to much!

THANK YOU

Give ConvertXtoDVD a look, the trial will leave a watermark in your video but it's fast with excellent quality and contains all you will ever need. Even has simple menus.

hey guys. i am trying burn animes (which are in AVI format) into dvd so that i can watch them on tv. one episode is like between 200-300 mb so i was wondering how many episodes would i be able to put on one dvd?

i was hoping u guys could link me to a step by step guide on how to convert AVI files to dvd which will maintain the good quality and is also very fast. thanks guys! please help.

Depending on the quality of your original files, you should be able to fit 3-4 1 hour episodes or 6-8 1/2 hour episodes on a regular DVD. ConvertXtoDVD is fast and gives excellent quality. Also, very easy to use; just add your files and a blank DVD and all the work is done for you. WinAvi is probably the fastest I know of but has no menues and gives a bit less quality, IMO. If you want an encoding program, I understand that CCE Basic is very fast but you will need an Authoring program with it and any quality increase would probably be very minor. I use MainConcept and I see very little difference in quality between it and ConvertXtoDVD.

Edit: double post

alright thx so much! hmm i am using ConvertXtoDVD. how do i find out how many episodes can i fit in in one dvd?

I don't know that you can tell how many episodes you can fit on a DVD except by personal preference. You can add more than I mentioned but quality will definitely suffer or you could buy a player that will play them as data and then you could add as many as will fit on a blank DVD. Again, no menu, maybe an index, not sure and no one else would be able to play them without a proper player.

1. lol im interested how to convert a DVD in AVI or dvix , because im recording on a blank DVD using my DVDR player from my TV and i want to make it AVI or dvix

2.oh and one more thing (separate from my previous question), is there a way to convert RMVB to DVD ?

Thx.

ConvertXtoDVD supports RMVB and WinAvi may as well. As to your first question, no idea, I would assume you would rip it to your HD and then convert it, check out WinAvi or AVS Video Converter but why?

hey mistycat thx for ur help. i am using ConvertXtoDVD and i realised u can also convert OGM files to dvd..which suits me better. however, there is one problem which i shouldn't be discussing in this forum but i hope u can help.

when i add up the ogm on ConvertXtoDVD to convert to dvd...there are 2 audio streams as it should be..but there are no subtitles listed. i am quite sure there are subtitles cos when i watch it on Media Player Classic i can view them in japanese or english...but on ConvertXtoDVD it doesn't show...so is there something wrong with my computer or what?

I am not familiar with OGM or subtitles but a pm has been sent to someone that will be able to help.

ConvertXtoDVD does not support completely OGM movie files.
We're working on it, for a future CxD release.

oh okay. well what i did was to rip the subtitles from the ogm file and then on ConvertXtoDVD i just put in the subtitles b4 converting it into dvd...

hmm i having a problem with ConvertXtoDVD. i have set the chapter time for 15 mins...so 1 chapter is of 15 mins. however, after i convert, when i press the "next" button when watching the dvd...it goes straight to like 10 secs b4 the ending of the episode.

i am not exactly very bothered by the problem but i just wanted to know if anyone else is having that problem too and why i am having this problem?

i believe it must be cos...as said earlier..ConvertXtoDVD doesn't support OGM files completely.

i have this problem in ConvertXtoDVD. when i try to rename a file which i am going to convert to dvd, i get this error: "Access violation at address 66783324 in module "avcodec.dll". Read of address 00000018."

and if i do try to convert the file, it doesn't. here are the logs:

I got a prob with my conversion, I did every step in the guide here on the web, it all went great, i burned it nice with Nero, untill I put it in my dvd player. It switches to black and white, there's no sound, and the subs are gray, with no words. When I thought: maybe it's my player, i tried my PS2, it looked like it was gonna work, because there was colour, but it still didn't have sound, and it also didn't have subs anymore. HELP PLZ!!!

I too am having this problem and have no idea how to rectify... was there a resolution? thankls

I got a question hopefully someone can help me with this..., I convert .AVI files with DivxToDVD, they work fine on regular DVD players or MSIDVD on a PC, but when I try to play them on media player clasic , or windows media player, They won't play?, Original DVD's will play but not the conversions, Does it have something to do with a setting or the DVD's I'm using ?, And what's the difference between DVD-R & DVD+R ?, Thanks for any help anyone can give me !

Convert it using DivxToDvd, then use Dvd Shrink to back it up making it into an (.ISO)

I been using convertx to dvd for a while with no problems.. I burn movies onto dvds with no problems.. I got a movie the other day in .avi and usually it takes 1 hour to convert. Well this time it said 5 hours. Well I let it go took forever to DL. So I let it go over night next day still says 5 hours its 17%converted . I dont understand the problem. it plays fine on my vlc player. Any suggestions??

A lot of people are using convertx to dvd.It isn't free so you could try this software. Its the predessor to convertx to dvd.
I would give the serial key to convertx to dvd as I have the unlocked version,but I don't know If Im allowed to put it on here.
