Hi there, I got some old avi-files on my HD. And since I want to ban them from HD I just asked myself if it would be possible to change them to a dvd appropriate file. Of course, nero would do that. But it doesn't run under vista. Of course I googled a little bit but I only found programs that weren't an all-in-one solution. These programs like TMPGenc have to convert avi to mpeg2 first. After that one has to use another program to create .vob-files etc. Does somebody know an easy way to convert avi to dvd? And it has to be in dvd-format cause my dvd-player doesn't support divx. Also it would be great, if the file-size wasn't much bigger than the original one...

Well, since Nero is out of the question, I've found a lot of info on video-related issues from Videohelp.com

Here's a bunch of guides listed there for the AVI-to-DVD conversion you're after, good if only for the links to all-in-one solutions.

Now that's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much BlindMonk :)

Even though the files are enlarged when using the program. But it surely is impossible to keep the original file-size while converting an avi to mpeg or something similar, isn't it?
