Hi,
I am a total n00b and this is my first post I need some help on the following pls....
I have a 700mb AVI file which I would like to burn to disk so I can play it on my dvd player so:
1) Do I have to convert the file? If yes to what ext?
2) Which software is best suited for this? I'm a n00b so easier the better
3) How long on average does conversion take?
4) Once converted when I burn the file what do I burn it as in nero?
5) Will this reduce the quality of the avi? Its currently a divx dvd rip....
I would appreciate any help, sorry if this question has arisen before I have read different sections within this forums but could not find any help....
Thanks in advance....
Cheers

hi,
after converting the file the total size is around 1.67g so I thought I would convert another file so I can burn more files to 1 blank dvd r....all though they converted fine when I came to burning them as a video compliation I recieved the following error msg
"a special entry is already present at the target location"
how do I overcome this error so I can add multiple files I have converted from avi to dvd?
Please help
Thanks in advance..... -
Add all the files you want before encoding with ConvertXtoDVD, or use DVD shrink in reauthor mode to bring all the parts together.

Excellent!!!!
Reauthoring mode in dvd shrink worked a treat....
Now to be a lil greedy:
Is there any way I can include a menu so I can choose which file I wish to view?
Atm I have to skip thru all the 1st file to view the second file I was wondering if it would be possible to add a menu so at the beginning I have a choice of which file I would like to view?
Perhaps there is an easier method as I am a n00b perhaps there is something I am overlooking?
Please advise?
Thanks for your continued help and support I really do appreciate it -
If you use ConvertXtoDVD to convert several avi files at once, it will create a simple menu at the beginning for you.
To rescue what you have done so far, you would have to use TDA instead of DVD Shrink to bring everything together.
If you use TDA, I recommend you delete the ifo and bup files first, as the ones created by ConvertXtoDVD can sometimes cause problems with TDA.Read my blog here.

Two weeks is a long time to spend on a movie but after a week, it was hard to just give up and throw in the towel. -

I can't remember if it just refused to open the files or if it told me that the structure was incorrect. I believe it was the latter but I didn't get a jibberish error. Since I knew to change the structure using IFO edit, I'm sure it was the structure error.
I hadn't seen either DVDdecrypter burn half of DVD or TDA refuse to open a DivXToDVD TS folder before then.
I did notice that I was having some other problems with programs and playing mpegs on the internet until I uninstalled Studio 9 which I had just installed a week or so ago (wanted to see if they had fixed any of the problems but obviously, they've only gotten worse). Those problems disappeared.
I guess I'll have to find another file to experiment on. It's like shrink and TDA both had problems reading The DivXToDVD TS folder. -
hi,
I took your advice and using convertxtodvd i selected all three files avi files to convert to dvd. then i used dvd shrink so they would fit onto 1 dvd and unfortunately I did not get a menu at the beginning?
Where do I go wrong?
Please help
thanks -
Did you choose Full Disc or Re-author in DVD Shrink?
He's a liar and a murderer, and I say that with all due respect. -
Did you ask for a menu when you encoded with ConvertXtoDVD ? It is on the Authoring tab under Settings. Make sure you have 'Include Menu' ticked, then change the settings to look the way you want (within it's limited abilities).
If you choose Re-author in DVD Shrink then you threw away the menus anyway.Read my blog here.

steve: i chose reauthor mode as I had several different files....
guns: my convertxtodvd does not have an authoring tab...I'm using the slightly older version 0.5.2.99 -
Use TDA to bring everything together. DivxtoDVD does not do menus - you have you buy ConvertXtoDVD to get those.
