I can play the Avi/xvid on my computer. I would like to play them in my stand alone. I followed a guide.. I cant remember who's it wass and everything worked. BUT the quality is really bad on my TV.. its great on my computer but like watching an old 70's film on the stand alone. Any help there?
The process was as follows: you can thank res1492 for this one:
Ok i know this is a lot of encoding but this is how i get my Tv episodes (AVI) onto DVD
First start by opening toast 7...under the "Video" tab choose "Video CD"
Drop in the episodes..for some reason i find that if i try to encode more than 6 at a time
they Fook up...so no mre than 6...it doesnt matter if the little coloured bar at the bottom
goes into the red at this moment in time because your not going to burn the image to a
CD..you just need the .Dat files that it encodes
Now goto "File" And "Save as Disk Image"..Save it somewhere..After it has encoded, right
click and "Mount it"
Now open the Disk image and goto the "MPEGAV" Folder ...You should see your episodes
there...they will be called "AVSEQ01.DAT" files
So depending how many episodes you dropped in you'll have as many .DAT files
OK now copy the .DAT files out onto your desktop and rename them to your TV show.
So....
If you dropped in 3 lost eps
AVSEQ01.DAT=Lost Eps 01.DAT
AVSEQ02.DAT=Lost Eps 02.DAT
AVSEQ03.DAT=Lost Eps 03.DAT
And so on......
Now open up toast again and under "Video" tab choose "DVD-Video" and drop in the .DAT
files...keep your eye on the little colouerd bar so you know when your DVD is full.
Choose the menu style you want and Goto "File" and "Save As Disk Image"
Once this has encoded you will be able to burn the image to a DVD and watch on your
Player
Guys i know that there must be easier ways of getting .AVI files onto DVD but this has
always worked for me and with my new GigaDesigns 2GHz processor upgrade for my G4 it
doesnt take long at all
About 20 mins to encode an episode to VCD then about 1 and a half hours to encode a full
DVD Thanks for the time
