If your desire is to convert the AVI files to a DVD-related file structure for the purpose of playback on a conventional DVD standalone player, do the following:\n\n1. Convert the AVI/mpeg file(s) to a DVD compliant mpeg-2 file(s) using "TMPGEnc" or "TMPGEnc Plus". Use the DVD template (NTSC or PAL) form the "Project Wizard" to help you accomplish the task.\n\n2. Then use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (different than "TMPGEnc") to author the newly created mpeg-2 into a DVD-related file structure (.IFO, .BUP, .VOB). As an alternative, you can use "DVDLab" to author as well.\n\n3. If the combined filesize of the project exceeds 4.37 Gig, use "DVD Shrink" or similar transcoding program to compress.\n\n4. Use "Nero" or similar burning program to burn onto a DVD (r, rw) disk.

Pop the DVD into your comp....look at the file extensions for the video files....i forget what some of them are.  then google "[extension] to .avi converter"\nfor example, if the extension is .abc then you'd googe ".abc to .avi converter"\nYou'll find ones you might have to pay for, but there are free converters.  I guess you want avi so you can edit them or cut scenes out and make something out of the eps?\nIf your going to just view them, no real need to bust your balls(or boobs) to convert...

Hi there...in addition to iDVD, other freeware DVD software programs to try:\nMac The Ripper: http://www.mactheripper.org/\nHandbrake: http://handbrake.m0k.org/

Win/Avi/Dvd converter\n\nhttp://www.winavi.com/en/products.htm\n\nBut most movies will not fit on a single disk (usually takes 2 regular cdr's), this program cuts the movie at 600megs. This is if you are using cdr's opposed to dvdr. Cdr allows you to create vcd's which are playable on all dvd players but use normal cds. \n\nYou can use nero to add a title screen and chapters too if you want.

There is NO need to buy any program.  If you have a windows box the microsoft media player will do it.  Realplayer is also free and also will work.  Go to download.com\nhttp://www.download.com/CD-DVD-Burners/3150-2646_4-0.html?tag=dir\nor http://www.freewarefiles.com/cat_6_205_CD-DVD-Burner-Apps.html\nand you can find other free programs.

You can download a free programme called DVD SANTA.  Use it to convert various types of files (mpeg, avi, wmv etc..) to VOB files which will allow play in a dvd player.  I've used it, it's easy.

If you want a program that "just works" with the click of a button, I would look to DVD95Copy. The more techie bunch of us use a combination of tools such as DVD Shrink, etc. but if you are looking for a non-technical solution, I would try theirs.

If you are not for long tern use, suggest you have a 15 days free trial of Total Video Converter which converts DVD to avi or mpeg with pretty good quality.\n\nIf you prefer to long tern free, I think you still need to source.\n\nit is easy to use: \n\n1. Download software\n\n2. Run Total Video converter component, load the video files you'd like to convert by clicking 'New Task' button. After the files were selected, the window 'Please select the format to be converted will popup to remind you to select the right button。 \n\n3. Click 'Convert now' to start \n\n4. After converting, open the converted folder to check the files \n\nhttp://www.effectmatrix.com/
