Converting Xvid & DivX Movies Using WinAVI

Ok, in this tutorial you will learn how you can quickly and efficiently convert your .avi movies into dvd format ready to play on your household dvd player.

You will need the WinAVI software which you can download a free trial version from HERE, you will also need an .avi movie file you want to convert and about 40 minutes of your time.

First off you need to open the WinAVI software, do so by double clicking the icon on your desktop. Next you need to select the round DVD button in the WinAVI menu screen (see figure 1.a)

Once you have selected the DVD button as shown above, you will then be asked to choose the file you want to convert. Locate the .avi file on your hard drive and click it once then click the open button.

The next screen is fairly straight forward (see figure 1.b below). In the top box it shows the source to be converted (the .avi file you chose before), the output directory (where you want to save the converted files too), and last but not least the file output format which we already decided on at the start of this tutorial and that was DVD, so now were all set click on the OK button to start the conversion.

Now we have the .avi being converted, all we can do is sit back and wait for the video to finish converting. It usually takes about 35-45 minutes, thus depending on on the speed of your processor. See figure 1.b1 below to see what the conversion screen looks like.
