Hi guys. I am new to the whole authoring thing. So far I know how to take and backup one of my dvds so they can play on a dvd player. Now, I was wondering. How do I take movies I get like (dot)avi and put them on a dvd so they can play on my dvd player at home? What do you use, and is it easy?

stay with vso, i do not like tsunami one bit, converting takes way to long , vso is what i use and i find the quality you get out, is realy the quality you put in. its absolutely fine. people sometimes just like to be seen to be using a complicated application for fashion reason, then anything else. i prefer function over form myself.
