![]() I've got an AVI i want to put on a disc that can play in most DVD players. I only have a CD-Burner. What programs do I need and format create the disc? As you can see I know very little about these things |

![]() You need to create a VideoCD (basically it's in MPEG2 format) from that AVI movie in order to be able to play it back using standalone DVD player. Most modern CD burning applications can generate VideoCDs, and I suggest you to try Nero Burning Rom... |

![]() I don't have a DVD burner and I have no idea how to burn one but I would say that Windows Movie Maker v.2, that's a free addition to WinXP, can do the job. But you do need a DVD burner, not a CD burner, to do the trick. And the media is also different: you need a blank DVD disk and not a blank CD disk. DVD stuff is much more expensive than CD stuff, but yet affordable these days. I am just waiting them to become much cheaper to buy a DVD burner. |

![]() Yeah, normal CD burners can burn VCDs just fine, and most DVD players can play 'em too. |

![]() Ahh, but what am I to do if the video is 86mins? Thats 6 mins than I can fit on a VCD :P Looks like I may have to split it up. |
