Ok fish, i'm gonna give you the simplest ways I know to do the things you want............
Quote:
does anyone know if the process is different if the file is smaller than an actual movie. Im trying to burn some episodes of the simpsons to dvd. they are all AVI files about 180mb in size. Do i have to join them first, then convert or convert them separately then burn them to dvd. I have 25 AVI files im trying to burn. I tried burning one but i only was able to produce video without sound. And the subtitles were cut off at the bottom the screen. The picture didnt fit the screen at all. Any suggestions on how to do this are greatly appreciated
Don't try to fit 25, half hour episodes on 1 DVD is my first piece of advice. Here's a guide for DivXtoDVD that should help http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/vso_divxtodvd_guide.cfm . You'll probably have to span those 25 eps. to at least 2 DVD's using DivxtoDVD. Hope that helps some.

That really depends on what program you're using to encode, what settings, what filters you're using, etc. More info would be helpful. :)

malcdogg,
i used the method you provided and i was able to burn with video and sound. Only problem is that the video is cut off by the screen. It cuts off the video on all sides. Do i need to edit the video to make it smaller? What am i doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hmmmm, when you play the DVD in your computer are the sides still cut off? Or is it just when you play it on your tv? I'm trying to think of why that would happen.

Ok, here's a snippet of info from a post by a video Guru called DJRumpy regarding another person who had a problem similar to yours where the DVD would play fine in the comp. but not the DVD player........
"It's just overscan. The TV automatically removes about 5% of the video image area. All TV's do this, widescreen or otherwise so you don't end up with black borders on the outside of your video."
I think this is what's happening to you only it's not just cutting out black borders, it's cutting off part of the pic. I don't know man, I don't know a simple fix for that. I wouldn't be supprised if someone else here does though. Personally I say try a different method then using divxtodvd, as i've had aspect ratio problems with it before also. The only reason I refer people to that guide is because it's easy and quick to do.
Do you have TMPGEnc? Here's a link to a trial version of TMPGEnc Xpress http://www.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/te3xp.html that's a 14day trial of it. Here's a guide for it http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/55/59/ it's very user friendly. And hopefully it will solve your problems. If not, post back here and hopefully someone who knows more about your problem will see your post and help.

hi people, new here, spent ages trying to work out how to burn Divx files as a DVD and am also wondering if it should be taking so long to convert the file, Im using Super DVD creater 8.0, i have the conversion engine speed set halfway between max speed/best quality. the original file is just under 700MB.
as it is the first time i have used the program and im kinda going on trial and error i havent changed any settings other than PAL/NTSC and the aspect ratio
bassicly i am wondering if there are faster ways of converting or am i gonna be in for the long haul every time i want to durn a Divx as a DVD?
thanks
oh yeh 4got to mention the original file and the working folder are on differant hard drives, would this make much diff? i imagine it would be faster if they where on the same hardisk? or not much diff?

hi bread 2001
You might want to try a progran called WinAVI which will convert a full frame 2 hour DivX movie into DVD in approx. 90 minutes.
Also, it's better to have the file that's being read on a seperate drive from the one that's being written to.
Cheers
PS: There's a free trial of WinAVI so you'll know what you're getting.

@Bread2001, http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/vso_divxtodvd_guide.cfm . That's a free program called DivxtoDVD. Using it on a standard length, Divx movie with my 3ghz P4, 512mb ram, it takes about 1 hour to convert to DVD files.
Honestly unless a person is using an encoder like CCE, Procoder, or TMPGEnc, I see no reason why the conversion should take so long.

I've used the vso_divxtodvd guide which is great (fast encode, good quality, sooo easy).
The only problem I see is DivxToDvd doesn't support subtitles. Is there an easy way to add subtitles to the final DVD??
Thanks!!
PS: I read cucusoft support subtitles, but I read about many problems trying to get it working.

Blatant pimping of other sites isn't appreciated or tolerated so it would be a very good thing if you can find it within yourself to actually provide help here in the forums because if I see you continuing to pimp that site you'll be shown the door.

Hello Crunchee..If u are aquainted with Afterdawn..u will find a multitude here over & above just the forums Software[some free,some shareware]Links to others etc..some program will do what they call a batch..which is putting a group of files in 1 project to convert[DVDSanta is 1]does a fairly good job..but has its draw backs
U can even find a good program to join your files [DVTool]is a good 1 then use VSO AVItoDVD..this is the method i use when in a hurry..only takes a couple of hours this way..U just have to find what suits U..Some here swear by certain programs..but as I've found..whats good for the goose is not nessaraly good for the gander.
When I run accross a good movie that I define as a keeper..I use procoder..this can be an all nighter..sometimes as much as 8hrs..but I've never found a movie that it takes less then 5hrs..course this depends on your computer mine runs at 2.2gig with 512mem which is just par for todays standard..hard-drives are important..it is highly recomended that u have 2..I like the 250 gig..but u don't need that much..hard-drives are really not that costly nowadays..I've seen them as low as $30.00 for an 80gig..but definately 2 is better for speed & quality

Crunchee...If u have or download the software..it is pretty much self explanatory..their are guides here at afterdawn..VSC AVItoDVD IS EXTREMELY easy..DVD Santa..also easy
Procoder..a little harder..gotta have common sense & be willing to make a few mistakes to learn...just remember 1 thing..the only way to do it right..is to do it wrong a few times
