get Dvd encypter, that copies over the raw .vob files to your hdd, then get dvd2avi to make it into avi, then use program such as virtual dub or tmpeg to compress it

I think he wants to convert avi into a DVD movie.

Just use Nero/Burn DVD video files, but their convertor may take ages.

basically i downloaded a .avi format video file . and wanted to see if i can burn it so i can watch it on a DVD player.

its creating folders and such it said and estimated time is nearly 2 hours

How long's the clip?

 

[Krangelus]

you need to encode the avi to MPEG2, which is DVD format, then dvd author the mpeg2 file to the dvd.

there is alot of different software which does this.

i use TMPGENC & TMPGENC DVD Author and it is gold.

go to the site http://www.videohelp.com/ or http://www.doom9.org and find some tutorials.

It might actually take 2 hours then.

 

[SashatheMan]

but i burnt just some files before and it took like 10 mins or sometihng. why i this so long

 

[Templar]

It takes a lot of processing power to convert video files between different formats. Maybe the previous ones were MPEG2 and didn't need conversion.

Im guessing those ones were mpeg1 files

nah i tihnk last time i just saved them as files, never ment for viewing on DVd player. for storage basicly

Ahh ok, yeah.

Nero isnt the best for quality, but in terms of ease, its good for that.

If you want a more in depth tutorial, that site posted is a good place, TMPGenc and CineCraft Encoder are probably the two best for the job.
