Question Avi to DVD ? Software
Hi all

I have edited some digital video using Adobe Premiere 6.0 and now have a master tape edited with music titles etc. The file extention is avi and about 1 hour long (big file). I would like to record it onto a DVD disc so I can take to friend's etc and have a good back up.

Any ideas on the best way to doing this and with what software.

Many thanks

Mike

If you have a DVD writer, that may come with some software.

Re: Avi to DVD ? Software
What CD/DVD writing software do you have? I know that PInnacle Instant CD/DVD (which I got with my writer), the latest version of EasyCD/DVD and Nero (6) can all create basic DVDs from AVIs.

Nero 5.5 can burn a DVD but it's looking for files...IFO/VOB/BUP/VIDEO_TS....but my files are avi and this is what is confusing me which is not hard to do.

If you google for covert avi to dvd you'll find loads of programs. I have no idea which one is best I'm afraid.

Have a look at these sites. There are reviews of various dvd authoring packages.
Do you use any p2p software Mike?

Those files are DVD files.

DVD uses mpeg, but does something different to it, like split off the data and audio from the video etc.

When I did a conversion, I had to go from AVI to MPG, then to DVD

Can't remember which programs I used, there was about 4 of them required.

Re: Avi to DVD ? Software
A good place to start is http://www.doom9.org/
But I think what you need ultimately is a DVD Authoring tool, look here....http://www.doitfast4u.com/ , you may have to convrt to mpeg first as Xaccers said.

Re: Avi to DVD ? Software
Are you actually trying to convert the format to make it play like a DVD or just copy the file to the DVD for transporting it? I get the impression it's the latter. In Nero do you not have an option with 5.5 to create a data dvd disc, non-bootable? I don't know as I have version 6.

Re: Avi to DVD ? Software
I have Nero 5.5 as well. It also has Nero Vision Express with it. Does this show in your programme list under the start button? If not, have a look in the "Ahead" folder in "Programmes" folder. It may well be different to yours but mine were bundled with the dvd burner. It seems strange that you have a burner that doesn't have any software to make it useful.
If you are just backing up the AVI to a dvd disc, nero burning has a wizard to make a data dvd as well as templates from the "New" dialogue box. Yours should be ok for this as you have managed to open a dvd template that was asking for VOB files and the like.
Prem. should also be able to export the AVI to an mpeg2 file. I've not used it myself but all editors I have used, do so.
