avi to dvd how?

i have an avi file im tryin to burn to dvd i tried converting it to dvd with this cucusoft avi to dvd thing took like 15 hours(rediculous)and it gave me an mpeg video file and an mpeg audio what program can i burn them with can't seem to get nero to do it?

 

If you have a Mpeg Video file and an audio file then you still need to use a DVD Authoring program so you can add your Menu"s and Chapters and Format it all into a Videol_TS Folder and then Burnt to DVD....

An easy DVD Authoring Program to use is "Tmpgenc DVD Author".....

If you don"t want any menu"s or Chapters you could use something like "VSO DivXtoDVD" which will convert your AVI file to a Video_TS Folder which you would then just Burn to DVD in DVD-Video Mode but since you allready have the Mpeg-2 Video and audio files it would be Quicker to use the DVD Authoring Program to Put them on to DVD ....

Cheers

 

is this "Tmpgenc DVD Author" you speak of freeware?

 

nevermind its not but its got a 30 day trial i'll try it out

 

No, It is Not...But the Demo version is Fully Functional For 30 days...

I don"t think there are any Real DVD Authoring programs that are Freeware....

 

the final product burnt dvd has bad sound i checked the preferences and it says that is does'nt have the digital sound plug in thing is that that the problem if it is know of any other programs that come dont need a plug in

 

oh and i dont want menus or nothin does "VSO DivXtoDVD" take 15 hours to convert like this stupid cucusoft pro program

 

DivXToDVD should only take maybe 2 hours Max if you have a PC that is Over 2.0ghz....On my system I can encode a 2 hour Movies to Mpeg-2/DVD Format in about 90 minutes....

Cheers

 

ok but does it require a sound plug in like the other one?

 

No....And "Tmpgenc DVD Author" only requires a Plugin if you want to encode the Audio to Dolby Digital AC3 but you don"t need to use that audio format on your DVD"s.....

 

watkins86,

you say you already have Nero? Then drop the avi file into NeroVisionExpress and that will convert it to the vob files you need to burn to disc. It will even burn the files to disc for you if you want it to.

If you want to keep the AC3 sound (I always do) then download the AC3 filter from Afterdawns download section and that should do it.

 

and this filter just works on its own while im converting with nero?

 

I've been trying to copy an avi file to DVD direct via Pinnacle - I obviously need an encoder but the manual doesn't say so. I then tried using Sonic to burn the AVI to DVD - it copies OK but the film is very jumpy either to DVDR or to DVDRW. Waht am I doing srong?
