Hi, first of all I apologize if this is not the appropriate section for this discussion, if thats the case please move it to the correct section. I have around 30 episodes of a show in AVI format that I want to burn onto DVD's. I installed WINAVI, and was wondering if there was an easier way of converting them to .VOB format instead of one by one..Also, I noticed that after I convert a single 100mb episode in AVI format it becomes larger in .VOB format..I just want it to play like the original disc on the DVD Player. Can someone give me some tips? thanks!
Thanks for the response. Well there are 29 episodes and most of them are under 12:00 Minutes of running time. I'm still not sure how I would burn it like the original DVD..using DVD flick, will it create separate .vob files for each episode?
Ten individual AVI files of twelve minutes each is two hours running time - which is the nominal capacity of a standard DVD-5 disk.
You can either have the ten clips as individual titles, named VTS_01_n.VOB, VTS_02_n.VOB, VTS_03_n.VOB etc or merged (if the files are all the same type as to frame size, compression etc)into one large title, VTS_01_n.VOB.
DVD Flick includes 'IMGBurn' for optionally burning the output.
The guide included with DVD Flick gives concise instructions to get started.
Well I finished converting the first 11 episdoes and I got a DVD folder in my documents now. It has many files, and I forgot to check the "burn to disc" before creating the DVD using dvd flick. Can I burn that folder onto the DVD with another program? I want to keep the order and the menu..etc..thanks!
You can download and install another copy of IMGBurn - as many do or - simply locate it in the DVD Flick folder and create a shortcut.
Run ImgBurn Click 'Mode' > 'Build'
Click 'Output' > 'Device'
Click 'File' > 'Browse for Folder', highlight on the 'VIDEO_TS' folder, > 'OK'
Set burning speed to 4x and click the green write button.
BTW, it's good practice not to burn immediately.You can play the output folder using a media player and verify before burning.
Ok I installed IMGBurn, everything is set but I don't know how to check the files in this "output folder", please guide me on this. Thanks for all your help!
DVD Flick saves the output to a folder - I think the default is 'My Documents\DVD', the files are contained in a folder 'VIDEO_TS', you can play them back using your media player.
The 'VIDEO_TS' folder is also the folder you select to burn (with IMGBurn')
