    Hi,

    I suggest using vso divx2dvd (check) the software tab at the top of the page. Once you convert it to dvd compliant files then you can run it thru shrink to fit on a blank dvd. Suggested size when using dvd shrink is 4300mb (4.3g). If you use nero vision express 3 it will automatically convert the avi file so you can burn to dvd. http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/software.htm a guide with some excellent guidance on how to use dvd shrink. Please don't hesistate to post back if you need additional help.

    ok im using divxtodvd to convert the avi files. after that is dun i will shrink them wit dvdshrink. hopefully it will shrink enough. but the movie is in two files. is there any way to make it one file or is it not a big deal cuz my dvd player will just play one after the other?
