OK, i'm not so much a newbie (at least i hope not) but am having the worst time tring to get this to work. I have downloaded several programs and even bought a few to do this. What i am tring to do is: Take an AVI format movie and Burn it to a DVD so that i can watch on DVD player w/ TV. The process, as i understood it, was to first convert the AVI format to a MPEG2 VTS file? (Video_TS) I assume that this is possible, and that i am simply using the programs incorrectly. The programs i currently have at my disposal are:
The complete collection of ImToo. specifically ImToo Avi to DVD converter
Nero 7 Premium
Nero Burning Rom 7.0.8.2
MediaCoder
MediaEditor
SC Video Converter
DVD Decrypter
DVDFAB Decrypter
DVD Shrink
Alcohol 120%
DVD Audio Extractor (argh, obviously unusefull)
So, if there is anyone out there that has done this with any of the previous listed programs, could you please walk me through the process, because i am lost!
