(sigh) i tried to defend you and all i get .. oh well


Back to the original problem it is then.

So , you got an .avi file.
And you want it on a dvd.

First of all. HOW do you want it on a dvd ? Do you want it to be playable on any dvd player by the same method as the dvd's can rent at the video store , OR , do you just want them burned as data (same as a data cd-r , but only more megs per dics).

If it's the latter , it's easy. Get your dvd burner proggy (nero ?) and burn it as data on the dvd-r

If it's the first , that's going to be tricky. DVD's have menus and don't really handle movies in the format of .AVI. Usually , those .AVI are DivX encoded movies. Which is an mpeg standard with MP3 audio. So you first have to decode that movie to a normal mpeg standard , which the dvd burning software can use.
