I need help burning Dvd's?

Question

When I try to put an avi file to a blank dvd it wont let me, when I try to use windows media player to do it it only has a burn to CD option.

What do I need?

Answer 1

"it won't let me" is not helpful, do you have a DVD writer? are you trying to burn a DVD with just data or playable in a DVD player?



if you have a DVD burner you should be able to put in a blank DVD and drag/drop your file on the disk and burn in windows, that will not be playable in a dvd player, but it will tell you if have a dvd burner, google "free movies to DVD" and it will convert your avi for DVD players.



if you got stuck with a combo drive (like my company laptop) it is a cd burner/ DVD rom so it won't burn DVD's

Answer 2

Let's assume that you used a dvd writer and you wanted to burn some avi movies or video clips into DVDs so that you can watch them on your dvd player. If so, what you need is a software that will convert your avi movies into a DVD format. You need a software like "ConvertX to DVD". I'm currently using this software to convert and compile movies clips in files like avi, 3gp, flv, etc. to a home made DVD which I can play on any DVD player. It's fun and easy to use. You can download a trial version of it here: http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/

Have fun :)

This problem happened to me before. Your computer may miss the code, download and install K-lite code pack may fix the problem.

Or you may try convertxtodvd, I always use it to convert and burn AVI video to DVD, it works pretty well for me. I think it's better than windows media player. If you are interested in it, here is a guide regarding how to use it

Hi,

The first thing i wish to ask you is if you are sure your dvd burner is ok?
