AlexJames Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Is it Nero Vision Express your using? If it is, Click on made dvd, add files.. browse to your file. Click ok to add it in. Click Next. Should see a screen where u make your dvd. Customise as needed then follow the general next buttons to burn it. Make sure its set to PAL though ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 yes it is, I've tried some tutorials on the new but I just get a green line when I put the dvd in my dvd player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 are you looking to convert the avi file so it plays on a normal dvd player? or do you have a divx dvd player that will play the avi file? if you have a divx player then you only need to make a data dvd and ad the avi files. but if you don't have a divx dvd player then you will need a program to convert the avi to dvd first before you can burn it, as i don't think nero will convert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 HAHA im an expert at this, rite! first you need winAVIvideo converter, which will take the file and put it into lots of files like a DVD has, ISO etc, make a folder to put it into. then using pinnacle, go on create a disc, you have 2 options, where to copy from/to, copy from the hard drive, and go into the folder, only one file will appear, use that, then backup to the dvd writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I need to do anymore in the future I will try your method Kevin, may have to pick your brains if I get stuck though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this ever happened to you? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

far Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Jon - I dont have a Divx player - its a standard dvd player, Kevin you've totally lost me dude! lol, guess I will have to DL one of these programmes and have a play. Anyone know which program is best to do the job? Also if I buy a Divx dvd player is it as simple as burning the AVI as a data dvd and bunging it in the player job done? I think this may be the simplest solution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this may be the simplest solution! it's soooo worth getting a divx player, i used to mess about converting stuff to DVD, but now it is as you say just a simple case of burning the avi as a data disc i store most of my films like this now, you can get 5 or so on a dvd and the playback quility is perfect (depending on the original avi i guess) they're not big bucks either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Or just plug the pc into your TV That's what I do. My lappy does a wonderful job. I start it playing then close the lid. It's something I really like about the ATI graphics drivers - they have a useful Theatre mode which clones an overlay window to full-screen video on the secondary device. I can have a movie playing in a small window on the desktop, hidden behind firefox or whatever I want, and it's playing full screen on the TV. DivX playing DVD players are so the way forward though. My movies are compressed to 700mb xVids, so that'd be 6 whole movies per disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of using an external USB hard drive with it, although it only runs the drive in USB1.1 (1.5MB/sec), but that should be fast enough to play movies off it.

ivan Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I recommend ConvertXtoDVD, fantastic piece of kit.Tried that and did some speed and quality comparisons with AVI2DVD. ConvertXtoDVD is certainly a lot faster than AVI2DVD, but the result is disappointing. Darker areas of detail were almost black and the quality overall was pretty ropy in comparison. I found that quality varied in AVI2DVD depending on what method I used. The best IMO is FreeEnc set to 2 passes. I thought it might be down to the program only making one recoding pass so tried AVI2DVD set to one pass only. The result was still far better than ConvertXtoDVD and almost as fast. However, neither of them were as good as the original .avi file. So my advice is get AVI2DVD if you need to burn the files as a DVD, if not then store them on a DVD as .avi files.

wrenlea Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I didn't go as far as burning it, since there were no audio files to burn. This is normal and does not mean "no sound", so it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
