Tomm Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I want to stick a film I've got onto a DVD so I can watch it in the DVD player downstairs. It's just a bog standard DVD player (no DivX or anything clever like that) so I need to do some conversion. I believe I need to convert to MPEG2 - Which I can do using my favourite program (Super) so that's not a problem. It's after that - getting it onto a DVD that will play in a normal DVD player. I need some sort of DVD authoring program?Does anyone know what I need to do? (Preferably using freeware).EDIT: This is using my mum's computer which has an OEM version of Nero that doesn't even do DVD video discs, so I think I would need some burning software too.

Tomm Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Thanks but that's not freeware. There must be something free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 http://www.newfreedownloads.com/find/divx-to-dvd.html?I don't mean to be rude, but I am capable of using google. I don't want a load of apps that will only encode 30 seconds, or have loads of spyware etc. I want advice/recommendations from people who have actually done this before.

Krisboats Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Do you not have a nero suite installed? You can record dvd's from avi files using that. Just need to import the avi file, make up the menu and tell it to start and it'll encode+burn everything for you. Its what i always use.

Tomm Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 No, it's actually my Mum's computer since I'm home for Christmas and didn't bring mine back. It has Nero but only an OEM version that basically does nothing. Didn't realise the full version of Nero had that functionality. I might try and see if I can get it for this PC.

If its nero 6 i have the code you can use, if you have nero 7.... well, its available from "those" types of places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Argh this is really annoying. I have now got the full version of Nero 6, but now I need to buy the DVD plugin. The first thing I tried was a program called avi2dvd which seems to work OK but there's a conflict in my Xvid drivers apparently so it gets to encoding the video and stops (Avisynth- cannot decompress frame 0 error). IT'S ALL SHIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
