i have searched for some answers b4 posting this but cant seem to get my answer.

the question: i am trying to make a DVD from an AVI file. i have used the latest version of DVD2SVCD and extracted (or whatever) a big MPV file. how do i burn this ?i seen something about converting it with ifoedit but have no idea what to do with it. there is various files in my movie folder but dont know what to do with them.

Can anyone point me in the right direction

You need a Dvd authoring program. The Video and audio files on a dvd are vob files. There are a numer of programs to do the task. One of the simplist IMO is Tmpg DvdAuthor. Video and audio go in, dvd come out. It will even burn it for you. Btw It is also one of the lowest end products with the least options. Go to the Doom9 web site for excellent tutorials and tips. He also has links to needed software. Spend a little time checking out the info on that page and lurking on the forum including stickies. It will be well worth your while. If a dummy like me can start to get the hang of it anyone can. Do a search for postings by 2cool. He always has something worth checking out and explains it in a simple strait forward manner. He is just one of many. Enjoy!

so Tmpg DvdAuthor converts AVI 2 DVD ? need to check that out

No, it does not convert avi to dvd. It takes dvd ready mpg2 audio and video and places it in the correct dvd standard. If you look at the files on a dvd, you will see they are labeled with the extension VOB, IFO, BUP. These contain the necessary video, audio and information telling your dvd player how to output it to your television. This is a simplified explanation. The video files must be Mpg. The audio can be wav, ac3, or mp2. There are other methods to convert the avi. If you wish more info either read the tutorials/faqs or search the forum. If you need more help PM me.
