Simple way to get AVI viewable on new DVD player

[27am_dot_com]

I have a DVD player that plays everything (apparently... and it should for the price!). I have a stack of DVD+R ...

With that said, I have a movie in .avi (I don't know if it's also DivX... don't even know how to check that ... but it ends in AVI)... running time is only 1h:56min and the file size currently is exactly 700mb.

Is there a simple "plug and play" way that I can get this movie onto the DVD so I can view it on my television?

I'm reading all these "cover to this, then create img file, then burn img file"... that's all well and good if I'm in the duplicating business or have some other commercial purposes. But I simply need a viewable, at least moderately good quality, copy of the AVI (700mb or less) so it plays on DVD. And I currently have Cyberlink PowerProducer but also downloaded TMPGEnc... do I really need to jump through a lot of hoops?

Thank you.

convertxtodvd.

or if your player supports avi divx then just burn the avi on a cd/dvd as an ordinary data disc and it should work.

The reason many are 700MB is so that they can be burned (as DATA) to a CD. Try a CD as was mentioned.

A "2 hour 700mb avi file" and "quality" shouldn't be used in the same sentence. You will end up with a disc that is VHS quality at best.

Read the manual for your player and see if it does play some avi formats (generally Divx/Xvid), or just put the CD in and see if it plays. Neither of these exercises will kill you or your player.

Otherwise, ConvertXtoDVD is probably the easiest and most reliable method. Better quality can be obtained, however the price is more effort on your part, and more time taken to process and encode the video.
