Has anyone used an avi to dvd converter program and if so, which? I have numerous avi movies that I would love to watch on my tv without having to connect the s-cable or whatnot. Also, how is the quality when converting, say, a 7-800MB avi to dvd? I suppose a HD download at 4+GB would convert better? Your help is appreciated.

I always use

convert x to dvd

The link is for their trial (but with watermark)

Torrent it and get a hacked version and you are all set

I second the convert x to dvd recommendation

I use NERO. YOu just drag your video onto a DVD and NERO will automatically convert and burn onto a disc. Also has a easy to use wizard to make your DVD menus.

dvd santa is an excellent program as well. It's small and light and easy to use.

I second DVD Santa. Results range from quick burning to painfully slow, but it's never ruined a blank disc on me.

Sorry for the belated thanks. You all have been very helpful. I am now in the process of evaluating which program best serves my needs. As I am no techo-junkie, I will be settling on the easiest program. Thanks again.

UPDATE: Need some help with DVDSanta. After you encode your movies it asks if you want to now make a DVD. I clicked YES but then nothing happens. Usually, or what I am accustomed with, is your CD tray pops open and you insert a disc. Oh, I also get the screen that asks you to name your DVD but after that, nothing... Any ideas?

I use convert x to dvd. It supports .srt files which Nero doesn't.

I also use convertxtodvd. It generally works well with subtitle files, although I have had some issues with some of the subs showing up, but not others in Korean movies I have converted. Probably my fault though, not the program's.

Turns out I already had a dvd in the tray and that's why nothing why happening. Brain fart. Seems both dvdSanta and XtoDVD are working great. Thanks everyone for the help.

Thanks for the helpful thread.

BTW, On a related note. Can anyone recommend a good torrent site that has English movies and Korean subtitles?
Soribada is no longer free I hear. Is that true?

Thanks.

If I would like to put 5 movies on a DL DVD using X to DVD, I get the warning that says low quality, reduce total time etc etc etc. Should I go ahead and ignore this considering I am using a DL DVD which has plenty of room to fit these movies?
