Cant burn a vpi file to dvd - what software do i need

[chybby17]

I have no idea what I am doing - I have downloaded a movie and would like to burn it to a dvd - however the file is in vpi and my nero software wont let me burn it because its not a .bup, .vop or .ifo

Can anyone please help me I am clueless.

vpi??? Are you sure the file extension is .vpi?

[chybby17]

No -told you I had no idea - it is an .avi
No idea why it wont burn I have even tried converting it again to an .avi just incase something was wrong with it - but didnt work. I'm not that computer literate when it comes to these things

Thanks for your input - but it didnt help me. The information that you linked was for a program that i couldnt download - says it is corupt

[mats.hogberg]

No - the link I gave you is a list of no less than 48 guides for your reading pleasure, on the subject of "How to convert my AVI file(s) into a Video DVD". Which guide did you try, and what app didn't you find?
If you like to take the easy way out on this either:
Get Convertx2dvd - the best AVI to DVD method for those who are uninterested in knowing how it's done, just do it
or
Buy a DivX/XviD capable DVD player, that allows you to play the AVI as is, without any reencoding or converting.

They cost about the same.

Sorry - I read the guide about converting .avi to dvd it gave a link to download a program called DVDflicks (i think) but when I went to download it - it said it was corrupt.
Once I download Convertx2dvd will that fix my problem? because my nero doesnt give me the option to burn .avi files at all and I have software already I think to convert it but it didnt seem to work. Sorry for being so blonde. I am just very new at this

[chybby17]

sorry - please dont worry - I have a few things I will try here - I dont want to bother you. I will reply to you later if I still cant figure it out - thanks for your help!!

Most probably your avi is fake. Load it in GSpot to see.
