having Trouble burning .avi files to DVD

[MrFedEx503]

Im trying to burn this new season of lost I got onto DVD but when I burn it through DIVX and put it in my dvd players it doesnt work..... any help will do.

 

[Shaniac]

does your dvd player play divix? if not u gotta convert the file to DVD format, i suggest downloading ConvertXtoDVD

 

[MrFedEx503]

^ i did but i gotta pay for the whole program or theres a watermark in the background of the picture of whatever i just burned

 

[Shaniac]

dont download the trial version than... search the open forum for it thats where i got it i think...

I picked up a dvd player "phillips brand" that plays divx for 40$ at circuit city. I just burn the avi as a data cd. or dump a bunch of avi's on 1 dvd.


as for the convert to dvd, How long does it take to convert let say a 1 1/2 hr movie?

 

[Shaniac]

around an hour

 

[SuiPSYedKing]

around an hour

wow so youll spend a few hours on 1 dvd movie. or 1 hr = download/covert/burn to dvd.

 

[cycoxiv]

just use nero to convert it takes 1hr to convert and burn

 

[TLALOC]

Try it now using the steps previously mentioned:

try using DVDSANTA to convert..real easy program to use.

DVD SANTA

Might as well just use Nero 8 and burn it that way (it converts when you burn, takes the equivalent amount to however long the movie is), instead of using DVDxtoAVI.

Unless DVDxToAvi takes shorter than an hour..

with the phillips dvd player, i DL in 20 mins unrar in 2-3 mins then burn in 6 mins to a 80 min cdr (some movie are 2 part so 12 mins to burn them both) watching movie in a lil over 30 mins.

so "only" with the phillps dvd player you can actually "Watched" movies that are burnt onto "data" dvds instead of burning it like an actual movie?

 

[Shaniac]

no the dvd player has to be able to play divix

Aas long as it plays divx. I own 2 Phillips 1 about 3 years old the other fresh from circuit city 3 months old. Both play with no problems. I only mention phillips because i know they work. and all i do is create a data disc drag&drop avi then burn and watch.

I went to WalMart and copped a magnavox for a little less than $40.

As long as the box has the divx logo on it, it will play any file ending in avi or divx.

I used to use roxio toast to convert from vai to dvd - it would take about an hour for an hour and a half movie. Why waste that time when I can just burn the avi in 6 minutes and be watching shit.

Go save yourself a shitload of time and buy a new dvd player.

I'm using WinAvi to encode .avi files to .dvd files and it works for most of the movies I do but some of them have video but no audio anybody know what I could be doing wrong or recomend another program to use to encode them

Exactly what I did...I went from burning 1-2 movies per disc to 5-6 movies a disc in avi format without losing any quality. Best $35 I've spent in a awhile.
