What program can i use to easily write avi files so they can play on a dvd player?

Question

ive used nero in the past but you need to use a seperate program to convert them, i would really like a program that does it all for you. Preferably it would let me create menus as well, but that is not a must, it just needs to be fast.

Answer 1

you can use SunCD/DVD burner

Sun CD/DVD Burner can back up data on CDs and DVDs, store large media files, and compile music CDs. It can burn and save whole ISO files, as well as create multisession CDs and erase rewritable CDs. Sun CD/DVD Burner supports almost all kinds of driver types including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM (SCSI, IDE, EIDE, and USB). The program also supports the ability to drag and drop.

Answer 2

Well converting from one file to another will never be fast, as in a minute or less. I use Roxio, versions 6, 7 or 8 and you can add a menu with buttons, background music and animate the chapter windows.

Answer 3

Yes, it is a pain. Standard DVD format is MPEG. Therefore, you always need to convert any movie format to MPEG, then burn the movie file to a DVD. The conversion process is always time consuming and cumbersome.

I always believe time is money. Therefore, in the long run, I rather spend money upfront, so I can save time later. These days most AVI files are encoded in Divx format. You can purchase a Divx DVD Player for $30-$50 these days Burn a Divx AVI file to a CD-R, then you can watch it on your new Divx DVD player.

The other workaround is to connect my computer to my TV and watch my AVI, Mov, Mpg files that way. My tv has a VGA, component, s-video and composite inputs. I have adapters for all of these to connect my computer up to it. Of course, I choose VGA because it yields the best quality.
