how do i record .avi to cd to play on a dvd player?

i have a film in .avi format, is it possible to record it to cd to play on a normal dvd player which supports vcd's?
thanks in advance

 

You can make a VCD (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/110106) , a SVCD (http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd2svcd_with_tmpgenc.cfm , read it from the 'FitCD' passage), a KVCD (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/124272). First, open the AVI with VirtualDub and check if you receive a warning on the audio stream (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/129217).
Exèperience is, as always, the best strategy. My suggestion is to make the easiest stuff (VCDs) first, the others later. Ah, you have to split the movie into many CDs so that each piece is <55'(SVCD) or < 80' (VCD). Maybe 2-3 parts for SVCDs and often 2 parts for VCDs (many movies are 1.5 - 2h long). KVCDs need not to be split (up to 120-140' fit in a CD-R) , but you'll lose a little quality.

 

thanks
i'll do that now
