i'm just curious because if this is do-able, wouldn't it be easier instead of converting it to dvd format first?

anyway, i'm not sure what the difference is but i have a co-worker who said he burn just avi files to the dvd and they play just fine on dvd players.

am i missing something here? thanks.

Hi there,

Your Co-Worker is right, you can burn .AVI files (As data) on a media and SOME new dvd players (That now supports DivX / Xvid) will play them without convertion.

Just like when DVD players started to support MP3 files.
Burn as data, play the songs.

If you have an older DVD player, that is *NOT* ready for DivX / XviD, you will need to convert those .AVI files to DVD Format with convertion tools.

I use VSO DivXtoDVD.

VSO DivXtoDVD v1.99 Pre-Release will:

- Convert all your internet movies (.AVI / .MPG etc..) to DVD Format

- Add subtitles (using .srt files / More formats to come in future releases)

- Add chapters to each files

- Create a menu (Menu entry for each file, based on the filename, for now)

- Burn your DVD creation to media, with it's own built in burn engine
