    OK I have a 686 MB .avi movie file. All I want to do is burn it to a 4.7 GB DVD-R disk. I dont have any burning software, just what came with my iMac (the new G5s that just came out with the built in isight, DVD burner, media center.....) 1) is this possible? 2) If so, what do i need to do to burn it to the disk? This seems like a fairly simple process; i dont want to do anything fancy to the movie, just burn it so i can watch it in a DVD player, not on my computer. Also, if i burn it to a blank DVD-R will it have chapters and all that even if the file is just one straight movie? Thanks. If anyone has some time and is willing to help, my screenname is BigBoy7267

    i agree with the toast 6, toast 7...

    it does take a while to encode.. just leave it running overnite and you wont notice how long it takes.
