AVI Discussion

Where would I go to discuss problems converting my church's avi to dvd?:confused:

If it's a DV AVI, then go to the DV forum.

I would have thought MPEG-1/2 Encoding or similar. Like DVD to XviD avi goes in the XviD forum, but XviD to DVD doesn't.

Hi!

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI
(DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" v.1.6 (a different program than
"TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)
You can obtain a FULLY functional free 30 day trial version of this commercial program at:

http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/tda16.html

**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress

If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use
"DVDLab")


Let us know of your success ;>}

@setarip_old:
The question was "Where would I go to discuss problems", not how to solve the problem (which wasn't mentioned, by the way).

Yeah, but setarip_old did give some new insight though

@aecdesign:
There's much more you can learn - if you ask your questions properly, so that everybody knows what you are talking about, and the moderator team can decide whether you post is misplaced or not.

We'll make it a passion to help you out, but we cannot read your mind (maybe setarip_old can :) ).

This is a "meta-discussion". It belongs in the "meta-discussion forum".

As far as I know, it's a plain old AVI file, I don't know how to tell the difference.

[lisa_8023]

Does it can be played normally by your pc?

[Shinigami-Sama]

start playing it, right click the video frame and click properties?
most media players will tell you what kind of video it is. At least last I checked

As far as I know, it's a plain old AVI file, I don't know how to tell the difference.Load it into the program/tool "GSpot" and post a screen capture of the information back here - or load it into "VirtualDub" and from the "File" drodpown menu, select "File Information" and post a screen capture of the information back here ...
