The procedure for AVI to DVD

[polishpaul]

Another New-Question.

I have about 3 short AVI films i wanna pack into 1 DVD. I remember using AviToDVD or whatnot and making 1 ISO image which i then burned. I need to be able to have them in the menu as well (i can make one) so they can be selected as individual sections? I guess i'm wondering how this happens - Do i have multiple files which i then pack into an ISO image? Is there a good guide here that you would reccomend?

Basically all of your files need to be converted from avi to dvd spec mpeg files. You then need to author a dvd. Then are many ways to get a final product.

What is the progression here? AVI -> mpeg? -> ISO -> Burning.

I'm trying to:
- Put 3 avi movies (25 min each) onto 1 DVD
- Be able to create the menu allowing choice of which to watch

Basically true. Between mpg and ISO I'd put in Video DVD structure (which is what the authoring app outputs) even if most authoring apps can create the ISO and even burn for you.
Some packages (like convertx2dvd) put the whole procedure under one roof - most crap, but the mentioned quite competent (if you're satisfied with the freedom (or lack thereof) it offers).
