I searched through the guides and through many threads and I am wondering if there is an overview newbie guide for what steps to take from the point when you have an .avi movie file to burn it. A step-by-step guide. If someone could point me to something like this (which I know must already exist), I'd appreciate it! Thanks.
Use VSO ConvertXtoDVD, it will convert and burn your DVD in 1 step with a menu and excellent quality but the trial will put a watermark in your video. You won't need a guide but here: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/vso_convertxtodvd_guide.cfm
There is an old freeware version of divx2dvd which wont give the watermark the link is here http://freedownload.softonic.de/windows/vsoDivxToDVD_setup_0.52.99.exe If you like it you can buy the full version it will create a video TS folder that you can use nero to burn a dvd with or if you dont have NERO alternativly load the the video ts folder into dvd shrink and create an ISO and then burn with dvd decrypter in iso mode
Let be a little more specific about my question. I have a movie that downloaded into two .avi files. I would like to combine these two files (because this is just one movie that was originally one disk) and them burn the movie. I have ConvertXtoDVD, but I'm new at using it, so I don't know if I can burn these two files together and still have all the chapters from each of the files (one has 10 and the other has 11). Also, each of these files is over 700kb, so I'm not sure about how big the ending file will be if I figure out how to combine them and if that file can be burned on one dvd. Like I said earlier, I am new to this, but willing to learn if I can find these types of answers somewhere. Thanks in advance.
ConvertXtoDVD will not burn both files to 1 file but you can add both segments onto 1 DVD and have a menu leading to each. I think in the future, ConvertXtoDVD will have this capability. Also, it doesn't matter the size of the avi, only its runtime. You can use VirtualDub to join files: http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/14/59/ and this if you get this error, I always did: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/309635
