making dvd HELP

ok so its my first post

i have a few tv episodes on my pc as my hd is small i want to burn them ,the problem im having is putting multible episodes on one dvd, the files are in avi and i have the software to convert them to dvd.

so help needed please

What software are you presently using? If you want a easy conversion, look at ConvertXToDVD. For freeware, the older DivxToDVD is still available.

If you want more control over your final product, for quality, you would need to study our guides. Episodic DVDs are easy enough to create, even with freeware programs. If you look to the left you will see the guides for the procedures to create a DVD. CAPTURE>CONVERT>AUTHOR. If you already have the video, skip the first one. Burning to DVD is the easy part. For a episodic DVD, look to our 'AUTHOR' guides and you should see several methods to produce that type of DVD.

First, you need to encode the files to DVD compliant video. For DVD specs, see 'WHAT IS' DVD. Then you need to author it to the DVD format. For freeware, DVD Authorgui or GUI for dvdauthor will work fine. If you have some money to spare, TMPGEnc DVD Author is very easy to use and fairly inexpensive. Also TMPGEnc encoder is good for conversion to MPEG-2 DVD format. Both have trial versions and are a good place to start.

And welcome to our forums.

im using avi2dvd to convert to dvd ill take a look at the g guides.

thanks for the help

Why convert? Just burn them as data files. You can fit a lot more episodes per disc that way.

yer thats the way im heading

Get a cheap DivX player and you can even watch them on your TV. This is just an example and not meant as a recommendation:

Try ratDVD

ive been unpacking my files with MPEG4Modifier , but when i burn them to a disc the sounds out. any help

no i decided to burn them as files but the sounds out , not on the pc but on the disc

i used ashampoo to burn it and watched it on a liteon dvd recorder

your advice is very welcome ive just been using ashanpoo to burn all my stuff and forgot about imgburn

I use Record Now to burn multiple .avi files to DVD, mainly because it came free with my PC. No problems except that ImgBurn insists on a full reformat before burning a true DVD to the same disc.

You cannot just burn "avi" to dvd and expect flawless play ... you must check them out first .

A pc will play anything provided the correct decoders are installed .

Top set players WILL NOT ...

Use gspot to find out what they contain in video and audio ... most players are fine with xvid and mp3 audio ... I dont know how the players handle different "frames per second" though ... this could be an issue ...

I use super to do the fps conversion , and to xvid with mp3 audio , then burn as data .
Though I pass the video through vdub for rescaling and boxing , so all video is same scale ... make's it simple to join them later if required .

Ashampoo dose quite well , though I am a fan of imgburn , and nero .

===================

My player supports folder navigation , so each gose into a seperate folder and is burnt as data .
