convert avi to what?

[Guest]

Hello,
I have some movies in avi format on my computer. I would like to
burn them onto a dvd+R recordable disc. Do I have to convert them into a
certain format in order to be able to burn it onto a cd? And is there any
good program that will help me to do this and that will burn the file for me?
thanks
emma

Try opening WMP,select,new or free player available,at WM page,locate,show
all updates,locate downloads,scroll to WM encoder,download,get the codecs,
and the utilitys.

You need a program which can make "DVD Video". There are many tools:

Shello,
i downloaded the program n followed the instructions. in the log
window, when doing the video encoding this message appeared: AVISynth Error!
AVISource: couldn't locate a decompressor for fourcc DIVX. I pressed ok and
then it came up after a short while. all jobs done.
wat did this message mean and has the covertion from avi to dvd, been done
properly?
thanks

well seems something is amiss. You need to install either of the following
and try again. Dont need to install both:

ffdshow: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/
or DIVX itself: http://www.divx.com/divx/download/index.php

uninstall ffdshow and install divx itself as was mentioned
previously!

It seesm the matter of configuring the ffdshow to enable it for DIV3.
