shrinking avi video file

kingofbeers

Hi,
I have a avi video file which is about 1gb. i want to burn it onto dvd into vob files so it will play on any dvd player so i use sonic software (which i used before) but when i transfer the video on to sonic software to edit and burn to dvd as vob files it shows in the software that the video file is nearly 8gb which is to big for 4.7gb dvd.anyone with any suggestions on how to remedy this. thanks.

Get avi2dvd & convert it. Guide here

Nero will handle that too, no problem.

It'll convert it in about 35 minutes depending on cpu etc..

Just so you know bertisevil, you can use tags here, instead of the code tags...

Also, I've used Nero to do this, works a charm...

i use convertxtodvd , i find that it converts a lot faster than nero and it auto sets chapters for you instead of having to manually set them yourself

Is the convertxtodvd freeware ? If you have link please post it.
I've tried an avi to dvd program called dvdsanta and it was horrid.
thanks.:o
