Alright, got FF7 Advent Children xvid avi. Got the subs in my .srt file. Got the divx vobsub and was able to watch the movie just fine on my computer.
Now, I'd like to get it to a DVD.
Followed the DivX/Xvid to DVD guide here on the site, it converted fine over to a .iso file. I can load it into DVD Decrypter, but when I go to burn, it bitches about invalid media. I'm using double layer DVD's at the moment. Do I have to switch off those to regular DVD-Rs?
If anyone has converted it successfully, can you please post the method and tools you used to do it.
While I've not done that particular xvid avi, I can tell you how to do it ~
Start off with your choice of either DivxToDVD (Free but with a little work) OR the brand new and totally awesome DivxToDVD2 (Free for a week then $29.99 but fast as all get-out and totally automatic) by VSO.
Let's begin with DivxToDVD (Free). First browse to locate your file, for the source line then create a folder on your Desktopand select that for your Destination. If you have CopyToDVD, IMO the fastest burner on the planet, you can "tick" the box which says "Burn with CopyToDVD" and it will render your AVI into a DVD complaint format and let you burn it to disc. It's a good app., which does a great job, but it does take a bit of time. If you don't have CopyToDVD then you'll have to burn the DVD complaint file with your favorite burner.
OR,
You can try DivxToDVD2, the commercial version, which all you need to do is enter a location for a TEMP folder, and either drag and drop your AVI into the proggy's window ORbrowse to it and click "Convert." The commercial program is fully automatic and will render your AVI then use it's internal CopyToDVD burner to burn your DVD. As for speed ? This proggy is 2X as fast as the free version with a top of the line encoder, which will give you an excellent DVD.
I worked on the commercial version and, if you are into to downloading, you just can't be without this program.
BTW, You can hold on to your DL discs as a single-layer can handle 2 full-sized movies without any compression.
