Now
days, it is common for the average computer user to have at least a few movies
stored on their hard drive. As they take up so much space, it is sometimes
better to store these movies as AVI file format. However, there is one draw back
to having a AVI movie file. Not all Home dvd players can read an AVI movie file
as it is compressed. But if you rip your movie footage off your camera in
another format, it takes up too much hard disk space. Therefore, if you have an
AVI movie file and you want to convert it to DVD disc to play in a home dvd
player, follow these instructions.
This
tutorial applies to Nero 7 essentials cd which comes with most dvd or cd
burners. It is only a 30 day trial version, but it does the job.

Then
click on the Photo and Video icon and choose Make your own DVD-Video
from the menu.

Choose the movie that you want to
put onto a dvd disc.
-
Press next.
-
This is your chance to
customize
your dvd movie menu.
-
When you have finished making your dvd menu, you
can choose where your finished movie will end up.
-
To burn to a dvd disc, put a dvd in your
burner.. Then choose Burn to.... and pick your burner
from the list. My burner is a Liteon so I will choose this option..

Press Burn. The process will start.
It could take an hour or more as it is converting the avi movie file to mpeg,

Notes:
-
Please
be aware that, in some countries, it is illegal to even backup a dvd movie that
you have bought and paid for. This tutorial is to help convert your home movies
only.
-
Instead of choosing a dvd burner for
the finished dvd movie, you can choose a folder on your hard drive and burn to
dvd disc at a later date.
-
This tutorial could also apply to later
versions of Nero essentials. We have used a trial version in this
instance.
-
An AVI movie file means the movie has
been compressed to a smaller size. Some home dvd players can not read this
format and therefore it is necessary to convert the movie to mpeg to be
playable.
-
Some digital video editors allow you
to rip the movie footage and instantly transfer it to disc, without cogging your
computer up.
