[Raith]

thanksssss. <3!

[Raith]

oh, one more thing guys.. sorry to ask but: im converting avi to DVD file, the DVD can be played on DVD player right? thanks. please reply.

[jimmalenko]

You convert the AVI to MPEG-2, then you need to author it (which turns it into IFO, BUP and VOB files). Then you need to burn this using a DVD-video template in your burning software.

All of the above processes are well-covered in the guides and FAQ sections.

[Raith]

one more thing, can i just change my .avi to dvd file or mpeg file and can that just be played on a DVD player? without authoring it?

[soundforbjt]

No.

[Ironballs]

Soundforbjt, I think some players can play AVIs directly, but of course for max compatability Raith needs to convert to MPG compliant DVD.

If only it were that quick to rename the AVI -> MPG

If you have a DivX-capable player, normally these can play raw MPEG (unauthored). Check the DVD Players list (to your left) and look up your DVD player. Most will required authored material though. http://members.dodo.net.au/~jimmalenko/AVI2DVD.htm can help you convert the AVI to MPEG-2, then you need to author (I'd recommend TMPGENc DVD Author). Then burn using a DVD-video template in your favorite burning software. Please check out the guides section or the FAQ for more information, as it's all there in black and white.

[Raith]

oh man i really dont know if my DVD is DivX-capable player... ill check on the DVD player lists. thanks ill keep you updated brother.

>mine is a PIONEER DVD PLAYER. can play laser disks, mini disks and DVD/VCD / CD... dont know the model..

checking:

PIONEER LD PLAYER
DVL-K88

thats the model name...

one more thing. im using WinAVI to convert .avi to mpeg, but the thing is.. it goes to 99% and kind of sticks there. i cancelled it because it was 99% for hour and a half. and ive tested it and it works.. why?

[jimmalenko]

I don't know ... and I don't know about using WinAVI either.

[Raith]

alright ill try using the other file you gave me then. does it have to be mpeg-2? can it be mpeg?

[jimmalenko]

alright ill try using the other file you gave me then. does it have to be mpeg-2? can it be mpeg?

It must be either MPEG-1 (352 X 240/288 only) or MPEG-2 (352 X 240/288, 352 X 480/576, 704 X 480/576 or 720 X 480/576). https://www.videohelp.com/dvd has all the information you need regarding what is DVD compliant and what isn't; I'd suggest you take a look at it

[Raith]

hmph. problem im having right now is the TMPGEnc DVD Author.. it says:

Illegal audio format
--

For a standard DVD you can only use the following audio formats.

Dolby Digital (AC-3), MPEG-1 Audio layer 2 or Linear PCM.

I used ffmpeggui to get the sound file from the .avi file...... whats wrong? help pls.

[Raith]

little bump if someone can help me. :]

[jimmalenko]

What did you convert the audio to ? MP2 or AC3 ?

[Raith]

i converted to AC3.... :[ i tried MP2 as well, same thing. (

[Raith]

is there another program i can try? :[

Raith, there are answers to all your basic questions in the GUIDES sections. There are also numerous things explained there that you need to know, which you are not aware of yet.

I strongly recommend you commence doing some reading there, as you will soon find out that not doing this will cause your questions to no longer be answered, even by the most patient.

[soundforbjt]

Try the FilmMachine...it come with everthing you need and it's free.
