Hey FasFrank, thats about the DVD copying stuff, but do you know anything about DVD burning with .mpg or .avi files? or any software that could possably convert it so I could burn or sumthing?
Ive never done any .AVI stuff so I can't help you much. You can find info in the guides section here at AD though. IMHO it is just not worth the effort in most cases, There always seems to be problems with audio sync and the quality is usually not that great. It can be done and I suppose the ones who get it right don't post much, so I don't read very much about successes. If you were to try it, people would be glad to help. Just be sure to read the guides first so you know what you are getting into. Read the forum rules too, while you are looking at stuff. John, If you can post the make and model of your DVD burner then we can tell you what it is. You can also use this tool to tell you all sorts of things about your burner: http://www.dvdinfopro.com Good luck!

Hi OtakuX, In response to your question on burning avi's to DVD, I've done quite a bit of that. In fact most of my DvD's are burned mpg's and while I'm no expert, I'm very pleased with the results. First of all avi's must be converted to mpg's in order to burn. So its best to start off with mpg's. if possible. I use Uleads Video Studio 7 (Great program) for editing, authoring and converting, I then burn with either Video Studio or Nero. I also have an AverMedia TV capture card that I use in conjunction with InterVideo's WinDVR3. As stated by FasFrank there are at times audio sync problems. I have only had one such incident and I used Video Studio to correct that. Quality wise they are of course not as good as DVD. However to my eye they are slightly better than VHS in SP mode. I've converted my family movie's from VHS to DVD (with menu's) with very good results. Growing up in the muscle car era and being a former drag racer muscle cars are still one of my main interests. So I've been able to put 12 half hour episode's (- commercials) of a popular muscle car series on one DVD, and its lookin' Good. These are the DVD compatible capture settings I use most often: NTSC - SVCD2 Format: MPEG-2 Audio: Format: MPEG-1 Layer II Sampling Rate: 48.0 kHz 16-bit Stereo Bit Rate: 224 KBits/sec Video: Size: 352x480 Frame Rate: 29.97 frames/sec Bit Rate: 2500 KBits/sec With these settings I'm able to put Two movie's (up to 2 hours each) on One DVD, usually with menu's.
