Converting

How do I convert a .avi file so that I can watch it on a dvd player?
what files do dvd player read?

 

DVD players read (IFO/BUP/VOB) Files.

But you can buy DVD players that will play AVI(Xvid/DivX) files. Your DVD will have to suport it.

If you need to convert then you can convert the AVI file to DVD format using Nero Vision Express.

Below is a link to a guide on how to use Nero Vision Express.

or you can do it the quick and easy way using ConvertXToDVD by VSO. You can make menus, add music to the menu, change background, and a whole lot more. it's fast, with quality and I love using it so much I bought all the VSO programs!

will it convert wmv file ? cos this will play on pc but not on standalone dvd. What should I convert the wmv file to to enable it to play on standalone?Thks

 

Hi,

@cynn,

Reference Ihoe's post as convertx2dvd will handle wmv files as long as there is no drm protection on them.

 

I would think this could get fustrating for members when they ask what program to use and there has been 4 diffrent ones suggested to them.

Guess in a way it could be good cause they could try all them and choose which 1 they like better. But in some casses if it was a newbie asking it could be a little overwelming.

But hey guess there is no wrong answer if you get the same end results. But you will always get diffrent opionions on which program is best. That will never change.

 

is there any free program?

 

I found this program in the guide on this site: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/avi2dvd.cfm is this any good?

 

Yeah, is there any good free prog? I tried the trial WinAMP...Also, is there any free prog to capture streaming video?

 

@larrylje........ how about this question: is there anyone, who is free, come over to my house and do all the work for me!? Who should I ask to do this? hahahahahahahaha
