Converting video

[Faram]

Hi,

I transfered few of my video from camera to my PC. Currently they format is
..AVI which is big in size and I am not able to burn them on DVD. I think I
need to convert them to MPEG2. What software I should use to convert them
easily.

Thanks in advance,
Faram.

Are you burning a Data DVD or a Video DVD?

Burning a Video DVD is about duration ...not file size.

What software are you using to burn the DVD?

Thanks John for your respond, I try to burn video DVD, I use Nero.

=================================
To burn a Video DVD with Nero...you need
NeroVision and it is included in the full retail
version of Nero.

If you do not have NeroVision...try the following
free software:

DVD Flick
http://www.dvdflick.net/

Be sure to read the Guide:
http://www.dvdflick.net/guide.php

If you have problems downloading DVD Flick...
try the following direct link:

Save the file to a folder on your hard drive and
install from there.

To create a basic Video DVD that should play in a free
standing DVD player...try the following...

Good luck.

First...read the DVD Flick Guide to familiarize yourself
with the program.

Open DVD Flick and insert a blank DVD in your burner.

If your computer's Autoplay window opens....just close it.

Click the Project Settings button and go to...Video /
Target format...residents of USA...choose...NTSC /
Accept.

Left click the Add title button and browse to your
Movie Clips and select the ones you want on the DVD.

You can arrange them by selecting one and then use
the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

Left click the Create DVD button / OK / Yes / Yes.

Wait while the DVD is created.

When the text "Finished Successfully" appears you
may close DVD Flick. Now you can eject your DVD
and play it in your DVD player.

At some point you may wish to purchase more
advanced software like Nero, Roxio, Ulead, etc...but
at least this is a start.
