New here so sorry if this has been asked before.

I have all CSI episodes as AVI on my PC and I would like to play them on the DVD player in the living room. So out comes Nero. I open the Make DVD Video part and drag the episodes in to the program.

The files are 350mb each per 45 minute episode. And yet I can only put 2 episodes per DVD or else Nero says I have run out of space on my 4.7GB DVD.

If I can only put 2 episodes per DVD, it makes the whole thing totally useless and I would be better off just trying to convert them to MPEG and burn them to DVD as data files since my DVD player will play ordinary MPG files........

Surely I am doing something wrong here?

Surely they must be able to simply design a burning program where you can just drop your AVI in and it does all the work and converts it all to a DVD-playable file without having to go through a whole host of different programs first? Why is that so difficult?

Nero can do all of that for you in vision express. Problem is when you transcode to dvd format the file size increases drastically. you can control the size and quality in video options, under the "more" button, allowing you more episodes per disc. Next option, I just saw a DivX dvd player in this mornings flyers, for $79 Canadian, made by Koss. Didn't realize they were that cheap already. The savings alone on dvd's might be worth it.

See, that would indeed be a great solution because I have a few DVDs with about 8 MPEG files on them and they play just fine in my DVD player, just like MP3s. So a DivX DVD player would be very useful. Will hunt around the web for one. Thanks for the tip.

Philips 642 at walmart for like $59 plays them great. It is even certified so it will play DivX vod as well.
