ricktendo Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Most new DVD players will play it if you burn it to a CD/DVD "as is" (avi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeball Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 DVDs consist of a few file types, .VOB and a few others i cant remember. Anyway there is a prog called dvdflick i think that converts avi straight to dvd format for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDucTor Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 This is determined by the DVD player, for which formats can be played, and also the video if it will be handled.Newer video players are starting to handle DivX format, so if the video is encoded as divx, and your DVD player says it can play them then you're fine just burn it as a DVD Data disc.However if it does not handle DivX format, and/or the video is not in DivX format then you must re-encode the video using a program such as DVD Flick.Or if your lucky and have a chipped xbox w/ XBMC (or some other good home entertainment unit), you can probably just burn the video files and put them on there, or if its an xbox plug a network cable to it and play it from there.

Stoner81 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 thanks ricktendo64i got convert x to dvd and changed to to .dvd format but havent tried it yet. if that doesnt work i will try to burn "as is" like you said..thanks again!ConvertXtoDVD is probably the best one there is since its so easy to use (i use it all the time) it will create a folder its name being the name of your movie, inside u will have two folders;Auido_TSVideo_TSNow you just use ConvertXtoDVD to burn then to DVD just select the folder in which the other two are stored and bingo!!Hope this helps i can make a tut for u if u get really stuck Stoner81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
