How to convert AVI to DVD, MPEG to DVD, WMV to DVD, MPG to DVD, MOV to DVD, RM to DVD, DIVX to DVD, ASF to DVD and burn to DVD with Cucusoft AVI/MPEG to DVD/VCD/SVCD

Converter?

1. Download AVI MPEG WMV MOV DIVX to DVD Converter and burner and run.

2. First of all, select the conversion you want to do (1). We want to convert Divx/XviD/AVI/MPG file to DVD, so select 'To DVD'.

Now you have to select between two tabs (2). 'Merge' will join all the video files you add (such as AVI, MPEG, DivX, XviD, WMV) to one DVD file (including VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS, etc.). 'Batch' will encode each video file to a different DVD (so that you burn it in more DVDs). As you understand if the videos are small select 'Merge', if it's big movies you want to put into different DVDs select 'Batch'.

After this click 'Add' (3) and open the video files you want to convert.



Now it's time for the output settings. First of all select the location and the name of the output file. Then select 'Keep Aspect Ratio' (4) unless you want your actors to look like aliens!

After that select the output format between PAL and NTSC depending on your DVD player. The PAL and NTSC selections will set the right output size (resolution).

Also if you want your PC to shut down after the conversion (usefull as the conversion may take much time) select this option (4). If you like, you can set 'Frame rate', 'Output Quality', 'Aspect Ratio', etc. by clicking the 'More Advanced Settings' (5).

3. Click "Convert and Burn" button (6) to start converting movies to DVD's files. The AVI/MPEG to DVD converter will automatically create a "DVD_Disk1" folder in the output location, and the DVD's files VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS will be placed there.



4. "CD/DVD Burning engine" will be launched automatically after video conversion done. Please choose the suitable DVD burner drive. (supports DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW)

The AVI to DVD, MPEG to DVD converter has embedded "DVD Author Express" and "DVD/ VCD/ SVCD Burner Engine". So it can burn the files coverted to DVD, VCD, SVCD directly.

If you'd like to burn DVD with another DVD burning software such as Nero, please click "Cancel" and burn the files in "DVD_Disk1" folder to DVD later.



5. Place a DVD-/+R/RW disc into your DVD drive. If it is a rewritable disc, the program will erase the disc before burning DVD disc. When burning DVD is done, the DVD disc will be ejected automatically.

what is the consequence of downloading the software? do you have to pay for it?

It's a Trial version of software that costs €29.95 to purchase.

Thanks for the info. I'm always looking for a program that is better or quicker than what I'm using. Can you give an example of the time required to convert an .avi movie of say 2 hours and burn to DVD? I'm presently using Canopus Edius Pro and TEMPGen DVD Author. Converting takes around 6 hours to get the frame re-sized and burning takes about 45 minutes. So, something quicker would be great.
