    More info please ... as in, where'd you get the file, etc.? Your own DVDs that you're backing up don't turn into .avi files ... if this is a downloaded file, that's piracy and we can't help you here ... pls. read the forum rules esp. #5 ... http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487.

    Hi Mike,

    Try using TMPGEnc DVD Author to convert your MPEG files to VOB's, then burn to disk -

    BTW, Welcome to the CLub,

    Pete




    Karen2003,
    I looked all over, where did the "Piracy" come from ???

    As I wrote, DVDs that we back up ourselves don't turn into .avi files ... but that's apparently a common downloaded file format. And I ASKED him if he'd downloaded it, I didn't assume he had. And he didn't answer.

    Just remember Karen we’re not the cyber-police. Our rules state:


    Our new friend Mike hasn't broken any rules at all, he hasn't asked about, spoken about or linked to anything at all, he's just asked a question, and that is why we are here :)

    We need your sharp eyes and your diligent here, ya just have to cut our new friends a bit "O" slack when they haven't done anything. There are too many we have to ride herd on and step on cause they are out of line (lol) - you'll have plenty of those - sometimes too many :)

    No harm done, I made the same mistakes when I was coming up through the ranks :D)

    Peace,

    Pete

    karen2003,

    I used to think the same think about avi files. But one who has personal video footage might put it on their pc using the avi format to save space.
