Avi to dvd

[andrewslavin]

i have download many movies off TMD which are avi and i am having trouble burning them to a dvd. I have used many programs like TMPGEnc to convert them and burn them and that doesnt work. I dont want to use TMPGEnc so i tryed Nero 6 to burn that and it still doesnt work. Any idea on what is going wrong and can someone recommend some good burning software.

will this convert the avi to file i can burn. if so what will i burn with?

Yes it will, & you can use any DVD burning app you like

Why wouldn't TMPGEnc work? I mean, what error messages do you get? If there's nothing wrong with the AVIs, you have the relevant video codecs installed, the audio codec is one that TMPGEnc understands (or you have extracted audio to wav before encoding) there's no reason for TMPGEnc to fail you.

They're encoded at 14.985fps, and don't run smooth once converted.
There's an easy way, with tmpgenc plus 2.5, but you need to frameserve to do it right.
Open the first part in vdub. Select File, append avi, and open the second part.
Select Video, filters, Null Transform, then click on Cropping.
Crop the top and bottom off.
Start the frameserver.
In tmpgenc, download and install this template (right click, save target as), and put it into the ..\tmpgenc\templates folder.
Load the .vdr, then load the template, then encode.
Do audio separately, or it will be totally out of sync.

This is a FULL D1 KDVD template. Don't change any of the settings, unless you know exactly what you're doing.

will dvd santa be able to burn the dvd without it being out of sync or what about nero 6?

[mats.hogberg]

Burning (transfering preformatted data, files and file structure to the writable media) is not the issue here. It's converting the AVIs to DVD specs mpg that's your problem. Unless you have perfect AVIs as source material, no allinwonder app will hack it, be it Santa, Nero...

so will i do this then. convert the avi to mpeg 1 or 2 and then burn in nero?

[mats.hogberg]

Well, if you feel obliged to use Nero, go ahead (no pun intended!) and do so.
Your steps:
1) Convert AVIs to DVD specs MPG (TMPGEnc, CCE, Procoder, MainConcept, QuEnc...)
2) Author MPG as Video DVD (DVDAuthorGUI, TDA, DVD-Lab...)
3) Burn output from author stage. (Nero, ImgTools Classic + DVDDecrypter...)

Win Avi converter is good converter for divx to dvd

VSO DivxToDVD works flawlessly for me. You can also directly burn from within the program.
