One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:\n\n1) Use "TMPGEnc" to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this \n\n2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)\n\n\n**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress\n\n\nIf your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode \n(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")

Save it as a movie (avi) file, and if your dvd can play avi files you should have solved the problem\n\nif your dvd cant play avi files, save it as mpeg and use a cd burning software to make a VCD that most dvd players can play.

You'll want to re-encode the video from the DVD to another format suitable for online viewing. Your best bet is probably MPEG-4, as it's possible to read that on any OS. MPEG-4 with H.323 is very efficient.\n\nThere is a lot of software out there to convert DVDs to MP4, because it's the format used for iPods and PSPs. So, look for software to turn a DVD into an iPod or PSP movie, use that, then put the MP4 file online.

Search for some software on the net which will either play it directly or convert it to some which you can play with your existing software.\nEG :\n*.mov,*.3gp = Quick time player .\n\nOr you can post the file extension here so that more specific help can be provided

That is not an easy question to answer.  There are a lot of things to consider here.  If it is a VIDEO_TS folder that needs to be burned, I use Nero...  \n\nBUT there is a wonderful site that can help at www.videohelp.com.  They have loads of tutorials that can help you.

I bet you do not have the proper codex for the videos your trying to open. download a good divx player, it probably will have the codex you need

This may not be helpful as i use strictly Macintosh computers.\n\nI find DVD2One, Toast Titanium, and the swiss army knife of video tools: ffmpegX to be invaluable.

You'll have to re-encode it.  Try using AVI2DVD.  It's freeware and it'll convert AVI, DivX and Xvid to an ISO you can burn on a DVD.

A couple things:\nIs the software you're using updated? Check the help files to see how to update your software.\n\nAre you playing a DVD or just a video clip file? You might want to check if the DVD is dirty or if the video clip was badly made. You might want to check your DVD rom drive if its dusty or so.
