if you dont want to rack your brains too much , there is Winavi which i would highly recommend . if you feel comfortable enough with codes and self configuring them try Cinema craft encoder or TMPG encoder

for any more info check Doom9.net - The Definitive DVD Backup Resource

Avi2Dvd is the one I use.
It not only automatically merges 2 disc movies but also the subtitle files. All one has to do is point it to the proper files.

Also Avi2Dvd is 100% free and comes bundled with the necessary codecs. It can make use of CCE too if you have it installed, otherwise the included codecs provide excellent quality output anyway.

^ saumil how long does it usually take for you to encode a standard 2 hour AVI file into DVD?

Thanks for the reply, but that is also a concern, the timing of the file, i have had some previous software and while trying to convert it took over 8 hours only for my laptop to crash on it… thats my only problem

Around 4 hours using the HCEnc encoder included with Avi2Dvd.

Edit: 1337th post hehe.

well i used Nero VIsion .. it also takes around 3 hours to convert 2 AVI files and burn a playable DVD..

Nero Vision doesn’t have any support for subtitles does it?
Also my cpu is slow, which may account for the 4 hour encoding period.

I guess if u wanna write it to a DVD then…AVI files can b written to DVD using “Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5”… It does a conversion of AVI to VOB and then writes it, but it gives nice DVD authoring tools, with menus and nice music and stuff… Also u can choose the various video/audio quality options before conversion to VOB begins…

I guess thats the fastest way to burn DVDs from AVI files, but then the conversion does take same time as would other conversion tools (about 2-3 hrs) depending on ur PC config.

try winavi converter usually any pc conversion within an hr

Nero Vision also requires that you have at least 9gb of free disk space… :stuck_out_tongue:
