Whole different formats wanted on one dvd+rw

[Islamik]

Hi,how are you?

I got a whole bunch of video clips that I want to be able to play on my dvd player[Emerson TV/VCR/DVD combo] .

The files are anywhere from avi, mpeg,mpg, mov,m2v. Is their one format I should convert them too? I don't really care about that fancy stuff, just along as it plays fine.

The lesser programs needed,the better. So if you can recommend maybe one program that can do what I want, I would greatly appreciate it.

Peace & Thanks

TMPGEnc should be able to convert your AVIs and other non-DVD standard MPG files to DVD for you. Check that the files are DVD standard before encoding them though - save you some time!

To author the DVD, TMPGEnc DVD Author is a very good and easy to use package.

I second what Cobra said. They will all play guaranteed if you make them to the specs listed in What is DVD (top left). There is a guide for AVI => MPEG-2 here, as well as plenty of guides in the guides section of this site <======. This list shows all the guides for converting to DVD MPEG-2.

Actually the quickest and easiest way would be to convert them to mpeg1 (VCD) only one pass required and a whole lot quicker.. plus many hours of footage on one DVD. Converting down rather than sizing up will make for better playback too.

However, quality will suffer as a result. If the clips are low-quality anyway then go for it, but if they are something you want to sit down and watch then I'd encode it to DVD.
