.avi files to disc...what do I need

Ive tried using the decrypter and shrink, but it didnt work. I even tried Nero, maybe I just missed a step somewhere. Would someone mind pointing me in the right direction. Thanks.

ps...Ill get this dvd stuff figured out pretty soon and Ill stop asking dumb questions :lol:

.avi can't be used with Shrink and Decrypter.

Do you want to watch the movie on your DVD player? then you need to convert the file to mpeg (SVCD/KVCD)

I finally got that to work, it only took 3.5 hours to code and write :huh:

yep that sounds about right took that long when i did it but there was hardly no loss of picture quality

if u want it to play in ur dvd player use ACP to make a KVCD. Check muchspl2's tutorial on it.

VSO DivX to DVD is a very fast program for AVI to DVD files. IT is much faster than WIN AVI, and VSO is free, you've got to crack WIN AVI, I found out the hard way, Resident Evil 2 with "YOU CAN BUY WIN AVI FOR BLAH BLAH BLAh.." stamped across the screen then entire movie.. :angry:

WIN AVI, tends to Bog down right in the middle of the converting. And I have a P4 3Ghz. Go figure. With VSO I can AVI to DVD in an hour or less.

Hmm, I've been using WinAvi(full verson) for about six months now. It will convert a 700mb .avi file into DVD format in about 30-40 minutes(sometimes less). And I'm running an Athlon XP 2500+ with a Barton core and 768MB of memory.

I don't know what you're doing wrong.

i also use win avi, and i just converted a 702mb to mpg in 17 minutes.
