Just downloaded some Avi files and want to burn it to a dvd to watch it on my DVD player, How can i do this. Do i need to convert the file ?

I have ther Latest Nero and a DVD Writter.



HELP ME -- Thanks

you are going to need to convert to a dvd compliant file i.e mpeg2 and 48khz sound. TMPG encoder will do this. cheaper just to buy a Divx Dvd player that will play divx avi files straight off.

i think Aria tecnology where selling a Crystal divx player for about 25 quid this weekend.

You could always burn it as a VCD (depending on the codec that it is encoded with) as most DVD players have support for this VCD.

Either way, like the previous dude said, Nero can handle it... and VCD

yes vcds are mpeg1 file. you can just drag and drop onto a dvd within nero and most new dvd player will recognise it as a vcd. if you are wanting menus etc etc then it will need to be compliant dvd files, so a re-encode is necessary. then you will have to take youe MPEG2 file and put them into VOB format. a program like DVD LAB will do this. you can create your own menus, chapter stops and scene selections. quite a nifty piece of software, but if you c an get your hands on the Pro version so much the better.
