ConvertXtoDVD if it has VBR audio, or you can try it first in NeroVison Express.

An AVI file of that size will probably not fit onto a standard DVD5...normally a movie of around 700mb (AVI) converts to aroung 4gb, thats around 2+ hours, so you may have to use a DVD9.
Heres a simple guide on how I burn my AVI files using NeroVision

there is an excellent guide in my sig (by alkohol) also using NeroVision.

yeah it asks for a DVD-9, but arent all is discs considered 9's?
I have done a few already using alkohol's tutorials, very helpful.
The movie is pirates 2, that's why it's so big of a file. also beerfest is only 701mb and it wont let me do that one either.

You can reduce the quality in Nero Vision so that it can fit onto a DVD5.

If your dvd burner supports dual layer, then go and buy some DVD9

Was there a pop up stating that the movie will not fit on a DVD5 media? You should have an option to automatically reduce the quality so that it can fit onto a DVD5. Dual layer disc are quite expensive so I usually burn them on DVD5 still.

Click on More, then click on Video Options, then click on Dvd-Video tab. Go to Quality Settings and lower the quality until it fits.
Hope this helps

The size has nothing to do with conversion to DVD, only the length of time of the movie matters. I routinely convert 1400MB XviD AVI's, the latest was actually 1.36GB with a running time of 1 hour 23 minutes, to fit on DVD-5s. NVE's default bitrate "Standard Play' is 5073 kb/s and is good for an almost 2 hour movie, irregardless of the size of the original AVI. Lowering the bitrate will allow for a longer movie. For example a 2 hour 10 minute movie will require a bitrate of about 4400 kb/s which with an Xvid/AVI conversion will still look good.
Also note that with XviD conversions you usually don't really have to even fill the blank to the brim, like when you transcode, for max quality. Usually a tripling of the the Xvid's bitrate is all that is needed to max out the quality. Seeing as many 700MB Xvid's have a bitrate of about 1100 kb/s, you only need a bitrate of about 3500 kb/s when converting to DVD, nothing is really gained going higher as the quality is pretty much locked in by the original XviD conversion.

What a cheap shot, your insulting comment is totally uncalled for. Maybe you should report yourself to the mods.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 2: Dead Man's Chest is a 2 hrs plus movie, so you'll need to do 2 things (or you have 3 choices below) . Yes, even the original DVD (movie only) needs to be transcoded via DVD Shrink or Nero Recode to fit into a single layder DVD-R or DVD+R disc (I ripped, transcoded with Nero Recode and backed up mine nearly 2 weeks ago).
So a 900MB of AVI into DVD is going to take you few hours (2 1/2 at least) to convert and transcode. Below is what I usually do to any of my AVI files if it (the AVI file/s) went beyond the DVD5 capacity via Nero Vision.
* 1st - ignore Nero vision's message of going over it's limits and process/convert them as usual.
* 2nd - once Nero Vision is done, fire up Recode or DVD Shrink and start to transcode as usual (i.e. regular backup/transcode process).
* 3rd - you can lower the quality via Nero vision's quality settings to see if it will fit on a single DVD-R or DVD+R disc.
I don't know about others, but I have been converting and transcoding AVI files (mostly anime movies) into DVD in the past and so far nearly 95% of times, any 700MB of AVI (especially if it's 1 hr 30 minutes) will become roughly at least 4GB (depends on the quality settings). Yes, even with just 4 episodes of BLEACH anime (22 minutes long) will end up roughly 4GB.
Since I owned a 55" SONY Widescreen HDTV, I want the best quality possible. That being said, time is not an issue for me.
Again, the choice is yours, so do whatever you deemed it fits your desire.

gwendolin I joined only after reading your misinforming and TBH very rude post.
The poster has a 900mb AVI file for a 150min movie, which already suggest the movie is bad rip, as the fiesize is pointless for CD or DVD storage, its also must use mp3 as sound, and 90% use 128k mp3 sound, so that leaves the video bitrate at about 600k/s, which is far too low for an action movie even on XviD, so TBH, stretching that onto to DVD5 size is a waste, never mind DVD9.
MysticE is correct in the fact that encoding a 700mb XviD to mpeg2 with a higher bitrate than 3-4000k is a waste, and nothing will be gained by going higher, as you cant put back what has been removed, same way your not going to get CD quality sound by converting a 192k mp3 back to an uncompressed wav.
The poster should re-encode this AVI to mpeg2 using a 3900k video bitrate and 160k audio bitrate, and even this is overkill, but will fill the disc nicely enough with a basic menu, using a DVD9 on a 600k 2.0 AVI is just silly.

You havent seen RUDE as yet, if this is the only reason you joined AD then it's for the WRONG reason. As I stated, an AVI file of that size WILL, after conversion using NVE "blow " out to well over 4gb.....sure you can alter the B/R to make it fit to a DVD5.
If you Read what I said in my post, you ignoramus
you will see I used the wordswill probably not fit and then this, my uneducated friend
so you may have to
So before you start jumping up and down and pounding your chest, Read my post again, this time slowly so you can understand
I look forward to some of your posts where you actually team up with your friend and help someone
