How do you make a .AVI file work on a dvd player,like add a menu and stuff as a direct boot???

 

For a standard player you need to convert and author as DVD video. avi itself doesn't support menus anyway, .divx which is an extension to avi does, however I don't think any current hardware supports divx menus yet.

 

OK so how exactly do i change the format from avi-dvd(does it take time??)The dvd players no that are coming out suppoert divx1

 

celtic_d- I want to make the avi files compatible with my dvd player but im not using dvds im using cd-r?can you help with this?

 

For a standard DVD player your best bet would be VCD or SVCD. It might also be possible to use miniDVD or X(S)VCD (non standard resolutions, bitrates, mp3 audio, etc.).

 

To make a VCD or SVCD waht do i need to do??convert the avi???

 

yeah you'll need an conversion program
search google for one
i never convert to vcd/svcd only dvd so i can't recomend a program

 

ok after i convert the file what do i do??

 

nero burning rom will convert and burn VCD/SVCD. Open nero burning rom. When the 'new compilation' window pops up, select 'CD' and scroll down the left side to 'Video CD' (VCD) or 'Super Video CD' (SVCD) use the 'Menu' tab to create + Customise the menu. when you have finished, click new and choose the file(s) that you want to convert. click burn and you can modify menu or burn settings etc. click burn and it [bold] will automaticly convert to vcd [/bold]
hope that helps
