Anyways yea, I have some 'legal' AVI files that I would like to 'legally' burn to a DVD.

How would I convert the AVI file so I can burn it on my DVD+R/W drive =]

"Legally" obtain DVD Santa, and click on the AVI to DVD button.

Insert blank DVD and wait an hour.

hahahahahaha!

Or you could check and see if your dvd player supports 'legally' obtained .mpeg files.

Get a copy of ConvertXtoDVD in the same crime-free manner you obtained your movies.
Burn.

So I legally obtained a copy of a program that converts AVI to DVD.

Now I have another question.

What file format has the highest quality if I wanted to legally burn DVDs. Because AVI = the horrible >_<

It's avi all the way.

You probably just got a shitty cam version of your legal video.

DVDR is the best (.vob format) But if its already in avi, theres nothing you can do, once you lower the quality encoding a file with xvid, going back to DVDR format wont help anything, the quality will actually be slightly worse


files are usually encoding with xvid (.avi) because it has a good size:quality ratio, it is NOT the highest quality format, most xvid's are actually encoded to a very low resolution such as 272i, compared to a DVDR's 480i

this is slightly off-topic, but anyone know of a good free converter that converts .mov to .avi or .mpg without putting a watermark on it?

TMPG movie Enc: then use that to convert your avi's to MPEGS
Then use Winavi to convert your MPEGS to DVD folder formats
Then burn those files as a Device using IMGburn I can make a guide if you would like, but it might take time

Winavi is for speed, not quality IMO
