PC to DVD

Whats the best way to make my movies on the pc playable on dvd?

Please move if wrong section :flip:

I tried converting a .avi file to burn onto a DVD by using Nero Smartstart and using that…It encodes it then burns to DVD but my burn was unsccessful for some reason…

So thats a no no, thought as much;)
Clone dvd any good?

Personally I’d suggest either TMPGEnc Plus or MainConcept MPEG Encoder to convert to MPEG then TMPGEnc DVD Author to convert to DVD.

Both the first 2 will also convert to (S)VCD as well to make it easier…

Anywhere i can get a hold of that?

what if it’s a .avi file? or wmv?

winavi

dead easy to use, burn vcd, svcd, dvd from whatever format.

Gonna try this one myself. I tried to convert a 100mg avi with another prog awhile back (cant remember which one) and had to stop because of the file size. Can’t remember the exact ratio but seems like it was about 1mg = 1gig.
Of course it was after many :drink: and operator error is very possible :smiley:

edit found program stil installed, was DVX…

may be worth a look but seems like I had to download a large number of smaller files to even get it to work

Thanx all;)

I did just this recently with a friends holoday video, I used Nero Vision Express2, dead easy, I’ve now got their wedding video to do.

I use nero too…never a problem…cept when my dvd-rw started dying.
