Hi

I have movie maker v 2.1, - Nero 6.6.1.15 - and anydvd installed on win xp home ed.

I downloaded a movie from graboid site .

How can I burn these AVI files to a DVD, using the programs I have installed?

I would like to view the movie on my DVD player in my home.

or if I can't use these programs what is the simplest program to use that is free, not a trial.

I read somewhere that I could use Movie Maker but I need instructions.

Thanks

dk7

Nero Vision Express is part of the full Nero 6 Burning Suite, and it can convert the avi to dvd for you. It will take you step by step through the process.

There are a number of free alternatives, including FAVC, DVDFlick, and AVStoDVD. Any of the three are easy to find using Google, and they are not difficult to use.

I'd like to add an alternative solution (useful if your computer is not powerful enough to run these conversions that usually requires a powerful CPU and a lot of time): buying a standalone player able to read also AVI files

Could it be something with the GRABOID software?

Thanks kerry56!!!!

I used free AVStoDVD to convert the avi files to ISO, saved to my computer.

Then I copied ISO files to DVD using Nero 6.1

Worked great. Thanks

I had tried several others with "free" trial and none worked.

Thanks again!!
