    I have an avi file that I want to burn to a dvd on Windows XP. Can someone tell me what program I need to do this? Or what's the best way of doing it. My head is wrecked from it!

    try videohelp.com for guides, such as the one below
    I'd work a short avi file, as practice with it before doing a full movie

    Right back to square one. Downloaded ConvertXto DVD and burnt the DVD. It all seemed to have gone fine but when I was watching the DVD last night it started skipping at around 55 minutes. I've checked the download and the download plays find on winamp on the computer so it's not that. I've played to disc on two different dvd players and it's the same on both.

    Anyone have any advice?

    I have the same software and in my experiences, it only gets skippy when the source file (video file) is damaged in some way.

    Break the original video file up into 3 parts, with the second part containing the damaged video, leaving the 1st and 3rd in good shape. Then just put all 3 files into convertxtodvd .

    You will need to thick some options in the DVD menus in which the titles play one after another, to have a smooth playback.

    Off course another option would be to get a better copy of the avi !

    Ill dump this as I do it a good bit and find the below solution easy enough. Use:-

    1) WinAVI to convert your AVI file to DVD format,
    2) Use DVDShrink (requires Nero installed) to then burn the DVD vob files to a DVD.

    I think CDBurnerXP Pro does DVDs but its not very clear on how you do it, so I avoid it. Nero itself will also burn DVDs.

    Note: WinAVI is a very good program but you gotta pay otherwise they put a watermark on the movie.

    Simple as :)

    WinAVI does the burning as well, at least the one I have does. So no need to go into a separate program, does it all in one.

    If you're having problems with burnt discs skipping or glitching, make sure to do the burning at a slower speed, can help sometimes.

    WinAVI is the program I use

    I used to get skipping on disks I burned not now.
    make sure you or not running any other programs when doing the convert
    and burn.
    also do the convert on a internal drive not usb drive.

    Here is what I do:

    I presume that you are trying to burn a divx file to dvd - if not you can convert the avi to divx format using divx converter (available from the same place as below).


    I use the burn engine in divx player (free download)
    here is the latest version :
    http://www.divx.com/en/products/software/windows/divx

    which I think should have the same functionality as the older version that I have (sorry not at home to check).
    The process could not be easier, just import the divx files to the libary then drag across the file to the burn engine and press burn.
