Burn AVI?

[al´Thor]

Hi!

Please excuse my english. Not my first language.

I´m kinda new here but I´ve been looking around for some comments about burning AVI files.

I´ve been thinking about all this converting and stuff and I really ain´t got the time to sit and cut the movies. So, instead I thought I was gonna buy a DVD-player that can play DivX. And that means avi files right?

So I browsed the forums here for some answers about burning the avi files but couldn´t find any useful. But I`ve been looking at the KISS 500 DVDplayer that is supposed to play DivX and maybe I´ll buy it, or some other player that can handle the format.. But then I saw in a forum that people had been getting problems playing avi´s that they had burned in Nero on the KISS 500. So someone else recommended that he should use the burning software RecordNow I think it was called.
Now to my questions:

1. Can I backup my AVI files on CD-R to play on my computer and possibly in a future DVD-player and if so do I burn it as a datadisc?

2. If yes should I do it with RecordNow or Nero or something else?

3. If I burn a AVI file with Nero on a CD-R and later find out that it doesn´t work in my DivX DVDplayer but DOES on my computer, can I take the file on the CD-R and copy it back to the computer and then burn it with another burningprogram (like RecordNow)?

4. How do I get the subtitles in the movie if i burn it to a CD-R? Do I just place the sub file on the record just like the AVI file?

I don´t know if this is the right forum for these questions but if it´s not, then I´m sorry for posting them here.

Take care.

you would burn as a data disk. you can always reload file from your disk back to your computer. That is the whole purpose of the disk. you should use cdr-w that way if it doesn't work you can always erase the cd and put something else on it.

Thank you Secretagent for your quick respond.
I appreciate it alot.

Found another forum now that deals with my particular questions, so I´ll get the rest of the information about the subtitles there, hopefully...

See ya around...
