    Hi,

    I have many smaller avi, mov, mpeg files I want to put on a DVD. I tried Nero and it can make VCDs, but not all of the files work OK on the CD.

    After reading the forum and the guides, I downloaded and used divxtodvd to convert them, dvdshrink to test them and dvddecrypter to burn them. The only issue is that I can only burn one ISO on a dvd at a time. I want a menu with chapters, lilke 10 of the files on one DVD. How do I do that?


    I've searched the forum and have followed the guides, but maybe I'm missing something?

    Hi there...

    What you need is an authoring porgram to do such things, but you also need an encoder.

    First: encode your AVIs to MPEG-2 format (DVD compliant) using an encoder such as MainConcept or TMPG (the latter free for 30 days). If you check at the Guides section at this website there's a guide on "how to" do it yourself

    Second: Once the output is ready, you need to add all of your encoded files (it could take time to encode) onto an authoring program. I recommend using TMPG DVD author (there's also a guide at the same place I mentioned before) for beginners.

    Third: Once your authoring program has compiled your project, you can burn it to a good media disc at low speed with Nero or your favorite burning program.

    Have fun!

    Hi,

    Thanks for responding.

    Can't I do the 'authoring' part with DivXtoDVD? I followed the Guide about that. I have IFO/BIN files, and now I have ISO files. The Decrypter only lets me burn one ISO to a DVD at a time - or am I using it wrong?

    I am not sure about DivXtoDVD latest version, but IIRC version 1 did not allow you to add more than 1 AVI file at a time. That was why I suggested encoding all the files and later on add them to a project with an authoring tool
