i kno that u can convert them and all of the stuff from the gurides. I was wondering if you didnt have to convert them. I also want to kno how long it should take the dvd's to burn. I have a fairly fast computer. Thanx
If you don't want your AVI files to convert into DVD, then all you need to do is burn them (your AVI files) as DATA into your DVD-R or DVD+R disc, that's it. You can probably fit at least 6 - 8 AVI movies (files) into a single 4.7GB DVD+R disc. NOTE: keep in mind that your standalone dvd player is AVI or DivX certified, in order to play them corretly.
me personally if u want them just as a dvd movie use winavi to covert them then clone dvd to put them on the dvd
yeah I would also use winavi and then burn them with a program like nero. you could also use nerovision and make your own menu's and other stuff.
Basically the only prog I use for burning is NeroVisionExpress3. Most of my files are in AVI format and I DONT convert. All I do is open NVE3, drag files into NVE3 and then burn. Easy as. Once the files are in NVE3 it takes around 1 to 1.5 hours to transcode and burn, that is for a 700mb AVI file.
It all depends on your computer's specs, ram, processor, etc. Make sure you don't multi-tasks, make sure you have lots of free memory ram available as well. I can convert one AVI (full movie 700MB) roughly at anywhere from 50 mins - 60 mins (this is converting only), or depends on how many MB the movie has.
I've used both Nero Vision 4 and DivXToDVD, I like them both equally. However, I'm using Nero Vision more and more. The choice is yours.
I am with Alkohol on this one, I like NeroVisionExpress, as I said if you have AVI files theres no need to convert. A movie around 700mb on my comp with a 2.8 processor takes around 60 to 90 minutes from start to finish, yours may take a little longer. Heres a link to NVE3 http://www.nero.com/nero6/eng/nero-up.php you will need package 2 only.
