ive got a plextor 712a burner adn im having a hard time putting an avi on a dvd-r to play in my dvd player on my tv. im using roxio software that came with the device. what do i need to do to get these files to play on my dvd player?

thanks IDLE
 
NeroVision Express does the trick for basic DVD Video creation. Comes with Nero.
 
It wasn't made clear in your post, so I wanted to make sure you know that AVI files will not play from a disc on a standalone DVD player. The file must be converted to the correct format before you burn it onto a DVD-R. The link below is an excellent resource for accomplishing this. There is free software and guides to help you.

unless you have a dvd player that plays straight divx or xvid or anything else that encodes to avi you won't be playing it on a dvd player unless you convert it to mpeg 2

what I use is nero vision express with the right plug ins and I start the program up and it converts and burns it for me.

I used to use tmpgenc but gave up on that cause it took 4 ever...but it's free and easy to use.

so you have options and the websites the others have posted are very helpful as well
 
great guys thanks for the info...i did use tmpgenc and it take forever. like 3 hours. but i was able to put it on DVD and what not but my dvd player cannot read dvd-r in any way. the player is really old....so i convinced the wife to update and get a new one.
 
They're cheap enough now to where it's worth updating. :)
 
And the good news is that even the cheapest ones will handle most formats even +R, +RW.

DON'T let the wife see this part!
If you burned at faster than 1x it may be a burn speed issue and not a -R issue. Most players will handle -R. My players don't like anything over a 2x burn speed.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
