Convert
your AVI movie file to DVD or CD using Nero 7 Essentials Recode
I
realised that the first tutorial I did on this subject was performed with Nero 7
essentials V7.5.13.1. This did not suit some users that had just the plain old
Nero Essentials. I did not realise that the two were so completely different!!
Therefore this
tutorial applies to Nero 7 essentials OEM cd which comes with most dvd or cd
burners. It is only a 30 day trial version, but it does the job.
Follow
my instructions to convert your AVI movie file to burn to DVD, Cd or even a
flash drive.
What you will need to convert your avi movie file to burn to dvd or cd disc.

Now you can Choose if you want to
put your movie on a dvd, cd, flash drive.
-
If you choose an 80 min cd the
movie will be compressed to just under 700 mb. If you choose DVD
it will be uncompressed to anything under 4.7gb. See Picture 1 below.
-
Tick the box that says Fit to
Target to make the movie the size you choose.
-
Then click on Import files.
-
Browse for your movie. I have
chosen an AVI to put on a normal cd. You can also convert it to a dvd disc.

Select your movie by making it blue
and then press Add Files. See Picture 3.

Then press close.

The movie file will be ready to convert. Now
Press Next. (Picture 2)

Notes:
-
Instead of choosing a dvd or cd for
the finished dvd movie, you can choose the size of your usb flash drive.
-
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.
-
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.
