    Okay, so I've been reading articles and tutorials and downloading programs galore, and just can't find a simple answer.

    Here is what I want to do:

    I have roughly 50 divx videos, about 25min and 175mb each, that I want to put on DVDs and watch from my DVD player. I have a DVD burner, and I want to get as many on each disc possible, so I don't think I want to go the VCD/SVCD route. Is there a simple way to get these on a DVD? I would like to create fancy menus with buttons (I got the free trial of DVD-Lab Pro, but it doesn't accept divx files - I don't think). I also downloaded TMPGEnc to convert the files, but by the looks of that, its going to take 20-30 minutes to convert each video.)

    I guess my question is, what is the simplest route I can take to get my divx videos onto a DVD? Is there a simple way?

    Here is the info about my files:
    -Image-
    Height/Width: 640x480
    -Audio-
    Duration: 25:00
    BitRate: 128kbps
    Audio Sample: 16 bit
    Audio Format: MPEG Layer-3
    -Video-
    Frame Rate: 29 frames/second
    Data Rate: 124kbps
    Video Sample: 24bit
    Video Comp.: XVID

    Try out VSO ConvertXtoDVD. Has a trial but will put a watermark in your video. Fast, easy and excellent quality. It will make a simple menu and you should be able to add 8 files to a DVD and, maybe, 9 to make it simple so long as long as your files are good quality. But, that applies to any encoder you use.

    Thanks for the help, Mistycat.

    Just thought I would report back that I downloaded the program you mentioned, and it works brilliantly. The videos I wanted to burn were complete seasons with between six and eight episodes per season. I didn't have any trouble getting a season to fit on one DVD, so thats great.

    The DVD Menu customization is a bit basic for what I would have liked, but it keeps it simple, and the rest of the process was very smooth and quick. It took about an hour and a half to convert and burn one season, so I'm happy with that.

    And the quality is great. I didn't think the videos were going to look good, but they look better on the TV screen than they did on my PC monitor.

    Thanks again for the help!
