This is the fist time I am attempting to burn multiple avi's to a dvd, and am not totally sure how to do this, as I've only done singles.
The avi's that I have are of different places while on vacation. I want to be able to burn as many as possible to a DVD-r or DVD dl . I would like to be able to have a menu as a start page, so I can choose which one I want to watch at that time.
A freind recommended using Nero Vision. I have ver4. I spent a few hours recently adding files in the creation process, creating a slick simple menu, to achieve what I want to do. 3 times now during the burn/creation process, it has puked out and crashed my system. At this point I'm really pssd with the prog. I've tried it set to "burn to disc" and "burn as image". Same results.
Would anyone have any other suggestions of a different prog to use, something simple and not too complicated. I do have Avi2DVD, but have only ever used it for single avi's .. not even sure if it can do multiple. Thanks in advance

That's kind of the way NVE is. Works sometimes.
You could also try the freeware FAVC. It should be able to handle multiple AVIs. Or for payware, ConvertXToDVD is fairly easy and versatile.
Or probably the best way is to encode the files separately to DVD compliant MPEG-2 video, then use a authoring program to generate your menus if you have any special wants. GUI for dvdauthor is a freeware authoring program.
And welcome to our forums. -
does FavC let you make a menu?? I tried that once and maybe i did it wrong but it converted the 3 avi's into one dvd?
i'm basically having the same problem... i used nero vission express 3 and i added the three avi's and then even made a menu with audio on it... i saved it to hardrive and it works great... but then downloaded onto a dvd rw and it wont play in any of the two dvd players...
when i download something either as a dvd or an avi it works great in both the dvd players but when i did this one (3 videos on a dvd with a menu) it wont play at all...
what can be the problem?? -
Don't even try to convert 3...4 or even more videos with other tool than VSO ConvertXtoDVD
That is the more reliable 1-PASS tool for episodes, or similar...like your case
Imagine you have 3 movies...totally and absolutely different
AVI2DVD will make at least 1 pass for each of them, or even more, perhaps 3 PASS which makes 3 * 3 = 9 passes total
If you have different type of movies, or episodes, FORGET IT !!! nothing better than VSO ConvertXtoDVD...a single pass encoder that can include menus as you want
AVI2DVD is not suitable for that...none of all-in-one is
Well...it is possible...but takes to long..in old PCs
There is 2 JOIN METHODS ... AND ONLY 2 METHODS :
1) join avis with VDub or similar..
2) convert each of them and author them together
method 1 is fast, and in my opinion should be used by all free softs. But not using VDub which fails most of the times
method 2 takes more time, you can get good results with free-tools but it IS FOOLISH, because VSO does that in half of the time
Join CD1 and CD2 ... it's easy....more than that...use VSO or wait...wait...and wait....
AVI2DVD doesn't join movies, neither TFM, or DIKO, or whatever..they just author them together ... method 2
if you want to test method 1 and method 2...use a gui like this :
http://avi2iso.planetaclix.pt/avi2iso.rar ( needs WinRar to unpack and .NET 2.0 )
it accepts the 2 join methods...with CCE SP2...whatever -

FORGET IT !!!
If you have CD1 and CD2, what do you do ?
use Vdub to join them ? foolish because it fails 80% of the time
use AVIMux-Gui to join them ? good choice, more reliable and less errors you get
And what about episodes ? without any relationship or similarities between them ? what do you do ?
unless you have a good system, dual-core or better, it is absolutely foolish to use all-in-one tools...or similars to encode multiple files
there is only 2...and only 2 choices :
- join them all togueter - as like Vdub or Avimux-gui
- convert each of them separately and author them together
VSO takes much less and does that in ... 40m ? whatever...it is unbeatable -

Do note (as was mentioned) unless you are real picky ConvertXtoDVD will probably handle your originals. It provides a basic menu, fast results and usually produces no sync problems. Give the trial a shot. -
Yes, AVIMux-Gui is the better tool to join and even correct bad chunks of audio/delays....it is often used by hordes of all-in-one users
But be carefully if you use SUBTITLES, because you must delay timelines for CD2...CD3...etc.....otherwise you will get subtitles out of sync
http://avi2iso.planetaclix.pt/avi2iso.rar ( needs WinRar to unpack and .NET 2.0 )
makes all of that automatically, it joins like AVIMux ( using Mencoder ) or...it authors them together in jobs
As for bad-chunks or delays in MP3...it uses the same algorithm, or very close....Alexander-Noe stuff
you can also use VSO ConvertXtoDVD with that tool
it's easy -
OKAY THIS IS GOING to sound like such a stupid question but i really dont get it.
what is the difference between AVI-Mux GUI and AVI2ISO? -

just insert them and it will join and sync all together. It also can join episodes, but it is no so reliable as VSO with episodes...unless using jobs
The difference, well...it joins...I don't know how to explain, see by yourself
You don't need to use AVIMux-Gui or any other tool, even for subtitles....just insert them to encode...just insert
the link is this
http://avi2iso.planetaclix.pt/avi2iso.rar ( you need WinRAR to unpack/unzip and .NET 2.0 )
good luck -

that algorithm is built in inside avi2iso, so almost no differences
also, Soopafresh and Jagger algorithms are built-in for upmixing to 5.1 (audio forum)
it is all there
