24 avi's on 1 DVD?

[Squid_uk]

Hi

i have got 24 avi files on my system that i would like to burn onto dvd to be watched in my dvd player

what is the easiest way to do this?

the total size of all the files is 3.5GB and my dvd player is a Pioneer DV-350.

I have tried using TMPGEnc to convert the files to dvd but i could only fit 4 files per disk

Hello,

Use a videobitrate calculator to determine the bitrate needed to fit them on a dvd.

Though you might be better off getting a dvd player that plays divx files. If you have to use a really low bitrate the videos won't look very good

i've got the bit rate calc but kinda confused as it seems like it is meant to be used for a VCD

If you convert them to DVD format they will grow in size ...a lot.

You could try using 1/2D1 DVD format. It's half the resolution of full DVD, and the player will play it full-screen. It'll play just fine and you might be able to squeeze quite a bit more onto one disc, but probably not 24

Try using TMPGenc DVD Author, ignore the fact that the end result will be bigger than will fit on a single DVD, then run it through DVD Shrink using the "Full Disk" method

The maximum I seem to find that DVD Shrink can handle before moaning it won't fit is betwen 10-12GB, in that case I used DVD2One 1.5.1, and that managed to squeeze it down to fit on a single DVD

i tried using TMPGenc DVD Author but it would let me do anythin over 5gb

Tmpgenc dvd author will let you author up to 8 gb,it just warns you at 4.4gb that you are going over the dvd5 file size.

when it actually began to process it i was told that the file was too big and the operation had to be stopped

[johns0]

Do you have enough hdd space left to make the dvd files?

[Squid_uk]

yeah it jst if i convert them and burn them im gonna have to use at least 5 dvd to fit them on
