burning dvds

there's a number of good guides and links at www.afterdawn.com

i need specifics, please.

ive been trying to teach myself what to use and do for too long without success.

Nero Premium 7 works a treat for me.

if you can get you hands on Nero 7, it has an easy app that burns dvd from mpegs, wmv, avi's

dling...

I have to use Intervideo WinDVD creator at work, it's all they'll give us - but it works OK.
My DVD player players avi and divx and mpg etc so half the time the downloaded files are fine. Wish i could tweak the sound though, sometimes they're loud and overload the TV speakers.

SVG just make sure you use the right format of blank DVD disc for the target player.
DVD-R is probably the most versatile and will work in older players too; DVD+R is less so. Some players (sometimes old or cheap ones) won't play DVD+R discs. Most players will tell you on the front or in the manual if they like - or + or can play both, or can do dual layer too.

thanks sheik

Nah that's wrong, DVD+R is more compliant for VIDEO.
DVD-R is better for data (on computers).
You can bitset a DVD+R to trick practically all DVD players into thinking it's a commercial DVD (avoiding compatibility issues)
You can not do this with a DVD-R.

But most DVD players nowadays can play both now worries.

So, what do you do if you have an AVI with errors in it that won't transcode to a vob file?

Huh?

Carn, tell me.

Try downloading DivFix (), then run your .avi through that and see if it strips the errors out.

Stupid markup.

Sometimes you need to convert an avi over to a full dvd compatible disk (for parents, friends, etc.) in whicjh case Nero works well.

If the conversion is for yourself then I think for the time & effort involved in doing the conversion, that it may be more worthwhile to buy one of those $36-$70 standalone dvd players that play the avi divx format. Particularly if you have quite a few avi files you want to play.

That's just it, Tabula, I have one of those DivX players, but this is for someone else, and the vob file doesn't come out right.

It's annoying.

Thanks, jeffro, I'll try it out.
