Divx avi to DVDs

Postby Mr. SmartyPants » Fri Mar 17, 2006 8:19 pm

I'm fairly certain it's possible to put a divx avi onto a dvd (to play on a dvd player). But how do you exactally do this? I have some anime that my friend wants to watch but she's unable to watch .avi files on her computer (and refuses to download codec packs or VLC)

well, so long as you have a DVD-RW drive, you can do it, I'm sure. You just need to find a good software to do it. http://www.download.com

Is an external one slower than an internal one?

external is slower. If you were trying to capture video to an external drive you would drop frames. Since it can take a long time to burn a disc normally, it might not be worth it

you must convert avi format to Mpeg format in order to play on dvd players just try google to find a avi-to-mpeg converter then just burn to a cd-r or dvd-r depends on how large the file size is.
