I've got it all wrong I want to burn XviD to dvd. Will it need to be converted or will it play on a dvd player?

Thanks

Here is one method:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - You can use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this.

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish).


**If the combined file size of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink to compress it down to fit on your recordable media.


If your operating system (O/S) is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use Nero to burn in "DVD-Video" mode - Tutorial Located here on how to do this: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=221453#p...

Man I really don't understand much of that. Sorry. Will I need to shrink or compress the file in anyway?

A alternate choice would be to buy a DVD player that will play avi files.

XviD is just the type of codec (form of compression) that was used to make the .avi file. DivX is another type of codec just like XviD.

Its not the length of the movie (file), its the overall file size.

You could have a 10 hour movie that will fit on a DVD-R if the total file size of the movie is under 4.7GB.

I really appreciate the help. So what if the video isn't less than 4.7G's? Would this stuff work for the converter http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/avi_to_dvd_avi2dvd.cfm ?

I feel dumb...

Yes, that will work.


If the resulting DVD is over 4.7GB, just use DVD Shrink to compress it down.

This is for DVD Shrink questions. Try the AVI to dvd forum.
