Converting AVI files to DVD

Question

I downloaded some videos and burned them onto a re writable DVD, when i tried to play them on my home player it wouldn't recognise the disk, i've been told i need to convert the files but every programme i look at says that a watermark is added, does anyone have any ideas to get around this

There are loads of "free" programs out there that will convert your AVI files to Mpeg or whatever format you want. By free I mean you can download the pirate version of the programs that in demo mode leaves a water mark. So go to piratebay.org or another torrent site and type in the name of the program and you'll get the full version for free.

Answer 9

You may need to get yourself a DIVX compatible player to play them in the format you downloaded them in or you could buy Nero Burning Rom software. there is a program in the package called Nero vision express which allows you to make dvds from Avi files, I have used it many times.

Answer 10

hi,

I'd suggest you download Convert X to DVd v.3

i summarize by sayin: its easy to use, and works perfectly.

It lets you burn multiple video files (including AVI) to DVD, along with amazing DVD menus.

I'm a movie enthusiast, so I've tried many DVD burning tools out there, they are rly many.. but only few do the job right.

My fav is Convert X to DVD.

i'll try guiding you step by step...

I)   Download n run ConvertXtoDVD by clicking here:

http://www.burner-software.com/AVI-to-DV...

II)  Drag-drop your video files onto the tool

III) Click the [Convert] button

and you're done! but there are also extra features like customizing the DVD menu, adding subtitles, and hmm alot of useful things actually.

I'm sure you'll love the tool. give it a try ;)

Answer 11

Well have you tried this thing before? Did it work then? I mean your player might not have the firmware to play .MOV or .MP4 files. Also even in AVI format, newer codecs may be required for playback if they were used in burning the disk. Try converting the AV files to MPEG-2, that normally works on all players.

Best of luck mate!!
