convertxtodvd vs nero 7's nero vision

which is better for burning avi files to dvd?

 

I have all the VSO programs and I use ConvertXToDVD for AVI files to
DVD! works great, fast and easy and does more than an adiquate job!

Nero..... I never used it for conversion of AVI files.

 

ConvertXtoDVD hands down Nero is just to slow also CovertXtoDVD does a great job of keeping audio in sync.

 

and I hear that ConvertXtoDVD is coming out bigger and better in their next upgrade! I can't wait!

 

Thxs sound good im looking forward to that then.

 

I love the program even prefere it to nero but the only thing i cant get it do is join 2 avi files to gether with out a break i can get it join and burn but when it gets to the end of the 1st avi it stops and you have to push play for it to continue into the 2nd half

 

cant you just delete the menu so that it goes straight to the next video.

 

will give it a try with the next one will let you know if it works thanks for the help B

 

i use ashampoo burning studio 6 for burning and iv never had a problem with it. and i use winavi 7.7 for converting n stuff and it will jion avis together you just need the right codecs http://www.free-codecs.com/
is a good place to start for those

 

I love the way convertctodvd syncs my audio with video. With nero 7 at least one third of the time the audio was out of sync. I only miss one thing about Nero and that is the templates for setting nice display backgrounds. Convertx2dvd just lists the titles in text on a plain screen on my tv.. I guess small price to pay...

 

Oops I just figured out I can use any background I want.. I just cant do it for each file (tv show) i put on the disc

 

Trick question?
Correct me if I'm wrong but convertX can't burn avi files to DVD. It converts them first.

ConvertxtoDVD is libavcodec/format based which is good in the way like VLC it is self contained. Also like VLC means that there are some things it doesn't support like RV30/40. Nero being dshow based if you have rmvb files, you just need to install the correct dshow filter and it should support them. Not sure that it is possible to put RV30/40 in an avi container anyway, but that doesn't change the fact that if libavcodec can't decode it then convertx wouldn't be able to convert it.

Not sure if VSO is using their own encoder or libavcodec for MPEG-2/AC3 encoding. libavcodec's MPEG-2 encoder is fine, but the AC3 encoder isn't the best.

 

is the audio sync bad even when converting to svcd?

 

I've been using Nero 6.6, and although it's a resource hog. One thing I particularly like about Nero is that it will ask you if you want to convert PAL to NTSC or vice-versa, depending on your preference settings. Question... Does ConvertXtoDVD convert PAL to NTSC???

 

yup, it asks you if you want it in NTSC or PAL. and it askes for 4:3 or widescreen aswell
