Help with Nero! Working with avi and mpeg files!!?

Question

If you have a film in avi or mpeg format of about 700mb, what is the best way of making that into a playable dvd? I use nero7 demo, but it takes an age to "Transcode" the video and sometimes the results are unstable on a dvd player.
In simple terms, how do i create "iso" files from avi and mpeg files?? Is it best to make a dvd using iso?? Please help! I'm not very computer orientated, so, please be simple and clear in explanations.. Many thanks...

Answer 1

Coding the avi or mpeg file to DVD format DOES take a long time. Try using DIKO...it's what I use and it is considerably cheaper than Nero and works very well.
