avi to mpg to disk

You need to convert your AVI using TMPEG software, then you can burn them using NERO 5.x using VCD selection. Go to this site and download TMPEG...

Try the Xing MPeg encoder software (www.xing.com). This will generate a standard .mpg file from avi. Just burn this to CD using any CD-R software. You are just copying a standard file, you do not need to create any particular format of cd, purely a data disk.

The file then just requires double clicking to run under Windows Media Player.

I've just started looking into this myself, a great site for info and downloadable programs is http://www.vcdhelp.com
Look around it and see what might work for you, leave a posting.
Thanks

The most likely answers at this point is that the avi files you have are using the divx codec, and you have not downloaded that pluging for TMPGEnc. Go here:

http://www.vcdhelp.com/tools.htm#codecs

and download any codecs which are applicableto your situation, esp. both for divx.

Once you do that, follow Opatzg's advice and read the how-to's and FAQ's at www.vcdhelp.com. The are very informative and will walk you through the process of converting file formats, just in case there is something you are missing along the way.

Finally, if you still can't get this to work for you, you may want to post some more specifics about the problem. E.G., where are you running into problems? Is there a part of the avi-to-mpg process that is giving you an error? Errors trying to burn the files to VCD?

Hope this helps, and good luck :-)
