Creating DVD's

[structure]

Not sure where to look for this information(or post it), but I tried a search and came up with nothing...

Im looking to burn a .wmv file which I have created on to a DVD.. Which I can then watch on my home DVD players.

I am also interested in doing this with .avi files.

Can anyone direct me to a thread where I will be able to find some information on how to do this?


Thanks

Hi!I am also interested in doing this with .avi files.

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:

**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 ;>}

A simple way to make DVDs with .avi and .wmv files is using the latest free version of VSO DivX to DVD.. Don't expect any option, simply open the file, select the AR (or just use auto) and encode.
I repeat: no options at all, but it's the easiest possible imo.
Here (http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/98/59/) there're a few hints, and the link to the download page.
