    Help please. I have an AVI file & am trying to convert it to DVD using Avi2dvd by trust fm. Seems easy enough to use. It's meant to leave me with a resulting ISO file to be burnt with DVD decriptor. However, when finished, there is no ISO file present to burn. This is my first time doing this. Have tried a few times. Am starting to get frustrated. Where might I be going wrong? Singed frustrated and appreciative.

    You don't need an iso, just burn with e.g. Nero Recode:

    Open Nero Recode, choose 'copy entire dvd to dvd', then 'import dvd', then choose the video_ts folder of the converted movie, and follow the lead from there.

    Really doesn't matter. With all the dvd files that you have, any ordinary program can burn them to dvd. But you could use Shrink and Nero:

    First, connect Shrink with Nero: Run Shink, check 'edit', then 'preferences', 'file i/o', and check 'enable burning with Nero'.


    Then at Shrink, highlight 'full disc', then 'open files', then go and choose the video_ts folder, and follow from there.

    Happy dvd burning!

    I Got It!!!

    Thanks for your help!

    One more question, is it easy putting extra movies on one dvd?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Yes, it would be pretty easy if you have Shrink and Nero linked:

    1) If you have avis, just keep adding to VSO before hitting 'convert'. This would convert several avis into one dvd movie. You can then burn with Shrink + Nero.

    2) If you have two or more full movies (i.e. with Video_TS folder), then a) store the movies on harddisk under separate folders (e.g. movie1, movie2); b) run Shink, choose 'reauthor', then go highlight individual 'titles' of the respective movies and add them to the compilation window. Then burn with Nero.

    3) In both cases, if the resulting outputs are over the normal capacity of a regular dvd, Shrink would automaticaly compress to fit. You can click 'compression settings' to adjust the compression ratio for each title manually. 10-20% compression would not hurt resulting quality that much.

    Happy DVD authoring!
