What’s the Easiest way to make an AVI into DVD

[DoC hEx]

I have some old home movies captured into AVI files. I’m looking for some simple solution to convert them into a DVD. The only thing I would like to do is have each file be a chapter on the DVD. I have no problems with manipulating AVI file with tools such as VirtualDub, but I’ve never created a DVD. I’ve had a look at the tutorials but was hoping for a simpler way even if the quality isn’t to the same standard.

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" (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:

**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 ;>}
