First off, I know this probably belongs in the newbie forum, but I wanted a mac-specific response. Anything else I found on this site required a PC, so Ima try heres.

Ok. I'm trying to burn a couple AVI files to play in my home DVD player. And I don't just want to burn them as AVI files, I want them to work in DVD players that can't read just that. If that makes any sense.

So I guess the first question is if Toast Titanium 6.0 can do this in one step without sacrificing too much quality (or at all). Second, how else would I go about encoding the files for my DVD player to read?

Word up.

A standalone divx player costs about 50 Euro. Try to buy one with MediaTek chipset and you save a lot of time with reencoding the movies. You just need to burn the avi file and the subtitles files keeping the same name for movie and subtitles:
Movie.avi
Movie.srt

enjoy,
