How.....AVI with DivX compression to be burnt to a normal DV |
|
|
I have a video file (in AVI format) from a friend which saves onto a CD and
is about 500 MB in size, it was recorded with DivX compression. Whilst my
computer can play it back after doing an upgrade with Real Player (and
getting DivX) I wanted to be able to see the film on a television with a DVD
player.
My Sony Click to DVD software wont recognise this AVI file. Nor does
Windown Movie Maker.
How then can I burn the film to a DVD.
It's annoying me.
Thanks.

Some new DVD players (quite a few recent ones) will simply play the DivX. |
Only other option you have is recode it to mpeg2 and then author it.
There is an interlace problem (DVD wants interlaced).
Better to spend the 70$ on a DivX capable DVD player perhaps. |

And if you can't spend the money, get a copy of DVDSanta which will create a
DVD from a DivX.
Really simple to use

I agree. I asked the same question last week and got DVDSanta to do it. I
have the entire battlestar galactica (3-13) series in mixed formats. Most
are Divx and Xvid, 2 are mpeg. I simply load them into santa and it
converts them to a dvd burnable format (Audio_ts/Video_ts) that any burner
software should easily use. I happen to use Nero for all my burning needs.
It worked flawlessly. The free version is a little dumbed down of course,
so the only real hangup I can say at all is size. By that I mean, I dont
know how much I can add to the compilation before attempting to burn. Not a
big deal at all.

They used to. Most avi files are now XviD and since the latest codec won't
play back at the correct frame rate. ie: they try to play 30fps files at
24fps with loads of jitter. AFAIK stand alone DVD players are designed to
handle true DivX files.

Kim's answer is correct for my American-bought DVD player ...

My "new" JVC DVD player can play DivX, but not Xvid. JVC tech support
tells me firmware upgrades are not supported on the model I have.
Luckily, transcoding doesn't take too long since Xvid and DivX are
similar. Using Virtual_Dub, I seperate video & audio streams and
transcode the video to DivX. Then repackage the movie. On my computer
a ~700 meg file takes around 20 minutes to transcode.
Sure beats the +4 hrs. it takes TMPGenc to remake into an SVCD!

Somebody else has realised this and is now posting true DivX 5.11 versions
of the latest episodes of Enterprise for those with stand-alone DivX
players. You sometimes have to expand the file name to see the DivX 5.11
reference. Hopefully other posters will follow suit.

Sorry, this is a really late reply!
I have an Archos personal video, records in DivX from analogue so I've been
using it to save my (analogue) camcorder films.
My PC (about a year old, win2000) has a fairly new Sony multi-format DVD
writer which came with Nero 'Burning ROM' (ouch!) bundled.
Nero has an option to write a DVD, with menus, titles, etc. If it can read
an AVI file (i.e. if it has the codec) it will transcode it to the MPEG 2
format that DVDs seem to use. It will save still from the clip to use as
title page buttons. On my machine this is very slightly faster than
real-time ;-( - but my (standard) DVD player in my hi-fi stack then plays
it, so I'm burning a lot of DVDs these days...

My new Phillips 642/37 has so far played every xvid (and divx) I've thrown at
it. Plays mpeg files via menu on udf formatted dvds as well, ones over 2 G in
size, which leads me to a question:
I haven't been able to get the 642 to play an avi file on udf formatted dvd
media (only iso), so effectively no avi over 2G will play. Is there any way
round that? Bearing in mind that I don't want to do any transcoding or undue
fiddling. Nex |
