How do I fix my AVI files so I can put them on DVD?

Question

I have a few movies from my canon 7.1 mp camera that I have put on my desktop. The files are played with a VLC player. When I click on it, it says the avi file is broken, do u want to fix it? I click yes and it takes about 20 seconds and then the video plays fine. My problem is, when I want to drag these video files onto Nero to make a dvd, it wont let me. Says that the files are corrupt. Basically Im looking for the easiest way to either get these on dvd or get the files fixed for DVD. Someone? Anyone?

Answer 1

There is a great program that converts avi format to dvd, it is called: ConvertXtoDVD. You can find it here:

I'm not sure why your files are "corrupted," but maybe this program will work.

You can get the program for free here: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4058446/...

But you need the program bittorent to download it. To get it you can go here: http://www.bittorrent.com/

good luck!
