Hi, I'm a little new to the burning process any help would be very appreciated. What I would like to do is burn multiple episodes that are in avi format to a playable dvd. Do I need to convert them to a vob file, or mpeg? I'm not sure what the difference between the two is. What would I need to accomplish this in the easiest way with the best outcome.

I've tried convertxtodvd and tmpgenc dvd author, but I get this unusual message when I try to use dvd author I get this wierd symbol message, so am not sure whether it's my file, dvd author program, or convertxto dvd. So, I was thinking of trying other programs out there.

Thanks so much!

Convertx should convert the files to a video_ts and audio_ts folder that you can burn direct to dvd. It will convert the files to vobs, which is the same as mpeg. Can you watch the files? If not you may not have the right codec on your cpu. Download Gspot and see what info you get about the files.
