I have been using AutoGK recently and want to put the AVI files on a disk. I know I can just burn them to a DVD disk (they work just fine that way) but what I want to do is to include a simple menu similar to a VCD...keeping the files in an AVI format. I don't know if this is even possible, but if you can do it with a CD why not DVD...any suggestions?

its not possible to have a menu on a DVD with movies in avi Container that works on a SAP.

its possible to have a Video-DVD with a menu, but not with avi.

Kopernikus,

I'm still new to DVD / video editing, but It just dawned on me...I can't use a menu with AVI on DVD, but how about DivX?

Hi!

but how about DivX

"DivX" is a form of compression. Such files still use an .AVI container...
