Hi, newbie question. I have been using Cucusoft Mpeg/Avi to DVD/SVCD/VCD/MPEG Creator Pro Version 7.07 to convert .avi files and burn to blank dvds. When I have multiple .avi files (such as with multiple episodes of tv shows), I cannot convert and burn on the blank dvds as separate files. I can combine a number of the .avi files and convert as one large dvd file, but cannot separate them on the dvd. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I haven't used that particular software, but 'DVD Flick', by default, presents each title as a menu item. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/dvd_flick.cfm
I have a full season of a tv show in avi. 32 one hour shows. I have convertxtodvd and also dvd shrink. I put all the shows in convertxtodvd and it said the quality will be poor because the file size is too large. Do I just do it anyway and use dvd shrink? How do I know how many shows I can get on one dvd without losing quality? BTW - I've burned movies without problems just not used to burning tv shows. Thanks
Two or three hours of running time on a standard DVD disk for DVD formatted files.. If I faced the prospect of converting 32 shows to DVD, I would buy a standalone player that accepts DivX files (which I suspect these are) and burn the files as data (no conversion required and you just keep adding files until the disk is full).
VSO ConvertXDVD - http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/ You can add several avi files, create a menu to play them individually and compile the lot into a dvd structure. Very easy to use and has a high quality encoder without the need to codecs installed on your machine. I have not put 32 files onto a disc like cueball67 has, but had up to a dozen on a DL disc. As attar says, might be best to pickup a dvd recorder with hdd that supports divx, xvid, mp4 and leave the avi's on a disc.
I didn't put all the files on one disc. I was going to but convertxtodvd said it would be a poor quality. Wasn't sure how much to put on there 5, 10, 15 files to make it a good quality so I didn't do anything. I'll probably just watch them on my pc.
