Hi, can anyone recommend a free program for converting .avi files into a format that can be burned on a DVD and played on a DVD player?

VSO convertXtoDVD

Search for it on a torrent site to get the "free" full version. I downloaded 1980's spiderman for my nephew, converted it to dvd so he could watch it. The dvd was great quality (as good as the avi) and was a region free dvd.

I use the "cyberlink Power producer" that came bundled with my burner and it works just fine for the conversion.

I have created and burned DVDs from AVI, MPG, and WMV files.

It will do the conversion automatically if you want it to as it burns the DVD.

I've tried searching for VSO convertXtoDVD on sites such as www.isohunt.com, but while they have links for the torrent, there aren't any seeders. As for Cyberlink Power Producer - it's not free (at least, if you aren't able to find a torrent for it).

Try Torrentspy. You'll be able to download it in about two minutes.

The only problem I have with "cyberlink Power producer" is that you must specify a region or DVD type. The program I specified will work on ANY dvd player. Cool

Yep. It's dead easy to add subtitles too. You can put two movies on one disc with decent video quality. I think the max is four hours movie time.

As it happened I needed to convert avi/mpeg/etc to DVD just yesterday. I remembered skconqueror's post and downloaded VSO convertXto DVD. Sweet little program and great for the novice. All automatic and basic. Nice!

Tried the VSO software but 3 hours of work led to a stupid watermark on the middle of the screen, and why would I pay for software that should be free somewhere on the net?

Voila! DVD Santa--works like a charm, although the source material I've had to work with thus far has been less than stellar, so I'll let you all know how good it works with proper DVD rips.
