Converting .avi to .iso

[jmstipe]

I am having troubles burning an AVI file to a DVD - using Toast. Program is telling me that my file is too large for the space on my blank DVD. I have been told that I need to convert my AVI file to an ISO file so that I can compress the file and make it fit onto the DVD. If this is the case, can someone recommend a program for MAC that will do this?

Thank you.

Thank you for your concern.
I have read the forum rules and this is NOT a duplicate post. I am asking for a recommendation on a program that I can use on a MAC to convert these file types.

Not to belabor the point (too much) but, this is your other post, referring to using the same MAC-only software:Hi
I have a movie in AVI format that I am trying to burn to DVD using Toast v6. When I insert my blank dvd - program tells me that my AVI file is too large for the available space on my dvd. How can I resolve this issue? Is there a way to compress the AVI - but still make it readable on a DVD player?

I have ripped AVI's to DVD's in the past using Toast - however they must've been smaller file sizes because I did not get this error.

Thanks for your help!Since you're new to the Doom9 forums, I was just trying to offer you some friendly advice...

We generally prefer to continue an existing thread if it is basically the same problem, as it appears in this case. But no big deal. Welcome to the forum!
