Hi,

I hope this is the right spot. If there is a more appropriate forum for my questions, please me know. Okay, off we go...

I just downloaded a video conference that is in 10 parts in the .dvx format, which I am not used to dealing with.

I want to be able to burn these 10 files onto a DVD but I am not sure how to do it with .dvx. I am used to just dealing with avi format and burning using Nero.

Could I possibly convert these files into avi format and then burn as usual? If so, what conversion application would you recommend? It doesn't have to be a free one, just the best one, and maybe fastest, you can think of. Also, if I convert to avi, will I lose picture quality?

Perhaps, another format, other than avi, would be best to maintain the best quality, because the files are already degraded a bit, so I don't want to make the picture even worse. If I use another format, then what program would I use? Could I still use Nero?

If you have other suggestions on how to deal with getting these files onto a DVD for viewing I am all ears.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

First try renaming the extension to .avi and see if Nero Vision can handle them.

@ MysticE

Your suggestion to switch from dvx to avi worked fine. I was able to play the newly coded files in VLC media player. However, I was NOT able to burn the avi file using Nero. Nero Vision said it was unable insert the file:( I am confused as to why it is doing that. Now that I renamed the file format to avi, isn't it just like a regular avi file? Or is it somehow different?

How do you suggest I proceed with burning these files to a disk, or is it not possible? Thanks.

No. I thought maybe it would work so as you could use Nero.

Rename them back to divx and get DVD Flick (free).

I did as you said and renamed the files back to the dvx format. Then I download the DVD Flick and after two attempts I was final able to burn the dvx file to a DVD disc and then play it on my regular DVD player. Yeah! I am not sure if DVD Flick will take over for Nero in my life, but it certainly did the trick now. Mission accomplished!Thanks again for your help!!
