You'll need to convert the AVI to MPEG2 and author a DVD which creates the directory structure that makes a video DVD that will play in a standalone DVD player. |

If the player is Divx capable it will play, assuming you have an uncorrupted file, if the player isn't Divx it won't play. |

You can also Create DVD menus with different templates available, possibility to add background video, image or audio, have chapter and audio/subtitle menus. ConvertXtoDVD - top-choice AVI to DVD video conversion software - convert and burn any videos such as Avi to DVD, WMV to DVD, MKV to DVD, YouTube to DVD, ogm, MPEG to DVD, quicktime mov to DVD.I suggest you can download its trail version to burn your avi movie.

It is my understanding that Divx is MPEG4? AVI isn't MPEG4. |

Gold Member Username: SamijubalPost Number: 4294 Registered: Jul-04 | I don't know too much about this stuff but AVI is just a container that holds the Divx/Xvid file. They may hold other types of files too but I think those are the most common. AVI files aren't MPEG. |

Silver Member Username: Ieee488Post Number: 466 Registered: Dec-07 | Divx and Xvid are MPEG4 derivatives. You usally get an AVI when you capture camcorder video directly to a PC without any encoding. This is what I suspect the OP was asking about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Video_Interleave http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX |

Gold Member Username: SamijubalPost Number: 4295 Registered: Jul-04 | An AVI is also a downloaded Divx/Xvid file. The OP is just another spammer. Since the posts keep getting deleted they're trying more creative ways of spamming. The first and fifth posts are the same person. |
