burning a .AVI file onto a dvd in order to play on a normal DVD player?How?
I am sure the subject line speaks for its self.I am pretty new on how to do this and have a few .AVI files that i need to be able to burn onto a DVD(DVD-R) that can then play on my dvd player and NOT just my Mac or someone elses.
Tried to google this of course before asking anything here. I have a copy of "Burn" which pretty much burned the AVI file on to my DVD as a file, kinda like a data disk but would not play the movie.
I also have a copy of "Visual Hub" which seems to allow me to convert my AVI into a few different types of files, I tried mpg and dvd but they all did not play on my DVD players. I tried a few and in my PS3 none worked.
I have seen some Youtube videos online that show you how to do it on iDVD but doing it that way seems to be a lengthy process and from what I read , it brings the quality of the movie down.I tried it this way but the movie was only able to play for a few min then it cut off
how do I do this,do I need some sort of software? do I need a different disk? Do I need a different type of burner?My brother did it on this machine a few months back before he gave it to me and headed out to the war. I know a bunch of PC users/ friends who do this all the time and they play on their dvd players or mine for that fact.
any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
