How do I burn an .avi movie file to a DVD to use in a DVD player?

best dvd player xvid image

Brian B

I recently received electronic copies of all the Friday the 13th's, and a friend of mine and I were going to watch them. Now I understand computers can be hooked up directly to a TV to avoid the whole disc thing, but my computer is not going to move. So, how to I burn the AVI files (Xvid) onto a standard DVD so I can play them on my Sony DVD player?

Answer
Standard DVD players read the .Vob format, the files you have now are in XVid-AVI format..

I would recommend you download ConvertXtoDVD. Ive been using it for a year now, never had a problem!

It will convert your video files to the dvd format readable by all standard dvd players, then burn automatically to DVD!

it is easy to use, fast and it works perfect for me.. give it a try, you'll love it

1. Download ConvertXtoDVD here:
http://convertxtodvd.burner-software.com/

It can convert any video file.. like wmv, mpeg, asf, mp4, avi to dvd

2. Add or drag-n-drop as many video files as the DVD can handle

3. Insert blank DVD

4. Click "Convert"

5. Enjoy watching those video files on your home DVD player! =)

ConvertXtoDVD has a lot of extra nice features too,
for example you can make your own ANIMATED DVD menu or auto-generate it, add subtitles, auto-burn to dvd or save your conversion.

How do you burn videos or movies to a CD-R and play in on a normal DVD player?

Moose E

Ok i have a lot of cd-r's and I want to be able to burn movies or my video clips onto them. What format should the file be to be able to play the disk in a normal dvd player. BTW i know about the divx and xvid way. But I want to be able to play the disk's in my other dvd player that doesn't support DIVX. What software do I need to convert the videos to the appropriate file extension and program to actually burn the disk?

Thanks

What is the best recommend dual DVD portable player for car?

best portable dvd players kids image

Mari

My husband and I are taking our kids to Disney in June, I was wondering we have been window shopping for portable DVD players for the car. Preferably a dual. But for some reason every dual dvd player that we have seen has terrible reviews from other people. Out of chance does anyone have or know of a great dual portable dvd player for the car that you can say works great and really recommend? Thanks in advance.

Answer
My wife and I are lalso taking the kids to Disney in June and I have been shopping for a dual dvd system. I know that as a norm, you get what you pay for but there has to be a decently priced sytem that has good ratings. Keep me updated please if make a decision and I will do the same.

Can you take a portable DVD player on an airplane?

Mama

I will be taking a flight that will last about 2 1/2 hours, but my toddler is coming with me. I planned to bring her a portable DVD player and she can sit and watch cartoons to occupy the time she'll be sitting still for.

Answer
Yes, you can, I do the same thing for my toddler when we fly. Be aware that you will have to take the DVD player out of your carry-on at the security checkpoint and place it in a bin by itself to send through the x-ray machine. Once on the plane you can only have it on at cruising altitude; the flight attendants will make an announcement when electronics can be turned on, and another when they must be turned off.

Also, as a courtesy to the other passengers, please remember to bring headphones to be used with the DVD player. I have been on flights where several kids didn't have headphones, just had their DVD players blaring, and that is WAY more irritating, in my opinion, than a crying baby on a plane.

best buy headrest dvd players image

pakk

I am trying to decide if I should buy an audiovox dvd player (D1817PK) for a road trip that I am doing with our son who will be 20 months old when we travel. Can I just strap it around the front headrest? Else, should I expect him to hold it?

Answer
The best thing to do is strap it because your son may not be able to hold it right and the DVD player might end up falling and possibly breaking.

Where can I get a good DVD player with Headrest TV screens?

Ben

I was trying to find those headrest TV screens and a DVD player for my 2007 Dodge Ram but can't seem to find anything for my truck. Is there a good place to buy that? I went to Best Buy today and they were clueless and told me that they can only get those for SUV's. Is that true? Why not a truck?

Answer
There probably isn't enough business for a company to build vehicle-specific units for trucks. And at any rate, I've found that the folks at Best Buy are clueless in just about everything.

Here's one source for a generic unit that replaces the factory headrests. The mount is adjustable from 4-7" so it will fit most vehicles. Just measure the "posts" on your headrests to see if it fits. These are delivered with black, gray, and tan covers.

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_385CLD700/Concept-CLD-700.html?search=headrest+dvd

Crutchfield will tell you if they fit.

If you are a first-time purchaser at Crutchfield you can get a $20 discount off a $200 order if you use a "friend referral code" such as mine, which is: p7sdj-hrx8q-9800g, plus free shipping. Oh!, I get a $20 merchandise credit too.

Is the Phantom of the Opera 25th Anniversary DVD Region 2 Only?

best dvd blu ray player 2012 image

Britt

Ok so a friend just told me that the Phantom of the Opera 25th Anniversary DVD is Region 2 only. I'm confused. You can pre order the DVD in American money on the anniversary's website, so does that mean you can buy it but not watch it in America? I'm really confused. If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it! Thank you!

Answer
For right now it will only be released in Region 2 format. The region 1 format for North America will be released in February 2012.

Some DVD/Blu-Ray players are capable of playing multi-region formats, but they usually cost a lot more money than regular ones (and most are NOT multi-region).

Can someone help me with my Westinghouse tv?

Lauren

I just bought my tv in July of 2012 . After I got direct tv installed my tv has been doing this weird thing where the buttons on the tv and remote won't work and the screen flashes many colors with a box that says "no programs are shown" . I've already unplugged and replugged it but its still doing that. What do I do !? I tried restarting the directv box but that did nothing .

Answer
If you have a blu ray or dvd player, see if it works right with the tv. If so, the direct tv box wasn't installed correctly or is defective, and you need to call them.

Best way to stream Netflix thru my LG Blue Ray DVD player?

best dvd player netflix streaming image

Curious In

I have an LG Blue Ray DVD player capable of streaming my Netflix from the PC. What is the best way to do this? Should I get a wireless router to send the signal to the DVD player? Does it cost more than my actual monthly subscription? Serious answers please...thanks!

Answer
Well, you should get a router regardless. It's the easiest way to share your internet connection between multiple devices. Using a router does not add to your internet fees.

Your LG blu-ray player can stream directly from Netflix - a PC is not required (other than to set up the account.) All Netflix subscriptions include unlimited streaming so if you already have a Netflix account you're all set there.

As for connecting the blu-ray player to the router, if it supports wireless, go ahead and use that. It'll be easier than having to run an ethernet cable from the player to your router.

Keep in mind that streaming movies is like downloading a very large file. If your ISP has monthly limitations on how much data you can download, use of Netflix streaming may cause you to go over. An average 90 minute movie will use between 1 to 3 GB of data.

Can I connect a Roku to my old TV through my old DVD player?

Touscents

This is mainly for Netflix streaming. I am not tech-savie. The TV is not in the same room as the computer, but I am thinking my wireless router means that I do not have to physically connect the Roku to the router. Would a Blue Ray DVD player that can stream Netflix be a better choice for me than a Roku?

Answer
The roku box does a lot more than you think so check them out before you buy. http://www.roku.com
A blu ray that connects to the internet will give you Netflix and maybe 3 other apps. Look at what you get before you buy. Each brand gives you some different apps. However, you will be able to play your old dvds in the blu ray and have a better picture.
One thing of caution, in order to go wireless, some blu rays require a wireless lan adapter that can add $70 to the cost. Sony has a built in antenna.
Also, your speed is crucial to getting good results with Netflix. The higher the better but it has to be above 2 mbps. The further your modem is away from the blu ray the more your wireless signal can drop and it's subject to interference from cell phones, cordless phones and any wireless device.

How can I tell if my Magnavox MWD7006 DVD player will play "multi region" DVDs?

best multi region dvd players australia image

idolaw826

My daughter LOVES Summer Heights from Australia. I notice that the DVDs for sale say that you need a multi region player.

Answer
If your player does not, its very easy to make it region free. Its a one-time operation that only takes a few seconds.

Usually you simply need a 4 digit code that is typed in via the remote.

There are plenty of websites that give you step by step instructions and codes. Try this site:

disney world for five days with 22 people. help please?

Nicole =)

okay well me and my family are DRIVING to orlando florida disney world in march 2010 from houston texas. how long is the car ride?

well my dad says its like $40 a person for one theme park. and theres twenty-two people so yeah we can only choose one or two theme parks.
Which theme parks would you say is the one with most thrill rides or rides that just give you that adrenaline.

what should i bring on the car ride to burn time. we might rent a van beacuase theres 8 or 7 people riding in the same car as me. so i cant bring things that are huge you know what i mean?


we are also staying at the reunion resort 5 bedroom house.
theres 5 teenagers (including me)
4 or 5 kids, and like 3 or 2 babies. the rest are our parents/gma gpa.
what should i bring for us teenagers/kids to do in the hotel or house w/e when we get bored at night? im already bringing my nintendo wii but what else beacause only 4 people can play the wii at a time.

so yeah can anyone help me out here?

Answer
1) The drive is about 14 hours 25 minutes according to google maps if you take I-10 E. If you take I-20 E it will take you almost 20 hours.

2) Theme parks are much higher than $40 a person. Disney is $75 for one day admission, and Universal is around the same, because it will be a peak season, since it's Spring break. In this case - go to Universal and do the park hopper (2 parks 1 day).. It's around $84 for the day, and you get access to both parks. They have tons of thrill rides. If you have to choose just one, go to Islands of Adventure at Universal.. it has the most thrill rides. Another option is Sea World, although you might find it a waste of your one theme park.

3) In the car to burn time, bring books, your ipod, magazines, maybe a portable DVD player to watch movies. You could also sleep as well. 14 hours isn't as bad as it seems!

4) The wii will be fun. There's also always movies on the tv and good shows on - especially March break. You could also swim at night (most pools have lights!)

Hope this helps

Linux Operating System (OS) For my PC?

limbodian

Anybody know if it's worth purchasing Linux? Is it true what they say about it being better than Windows? And what would be the most up to date version to buy?
Thanks Guys... I just wanted to try out Linux, Just for kicks. I'm not a PC wiz... Just like to try stuff out.
I have a laptop with now OS installed... I was just thinking to install Linux... thanks again

Answer
Linux is open source therefore it is FREE OF CHARGE

For gaming there is XP

For everything else there is Linux

Why Linux is Better
http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 10.04 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

Linux Mint 9 Download
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=52

The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 9 (Isadora)
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-9-isadora

Linux Mint 9 User Guide Download pdf.
http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_isadora.php

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 9 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

Linux Mint 9 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive

Also worth considering :

Fedora Remix (Fedora with elements of Linux Mint)
http://fcoremix.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/lucky-13/
http://iso.linux.hr/community-fedora-remix/
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/User_Guide/

Ubuntu 10.04
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid

Again Fedora Remix and Ubuntu 10.04 can be run direct from the LiveCD/DVD without touching your Hard Drive

Also you can try out as many different Linux distros. as you like on LiveCD until you find the one thats right for you DISTROWATCH.COM gives full listings (second lists the major distributions)
http://distrowatch.com/

Major Linux Distributions
http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major

In the case of LiveCD's there is much to be said for them. Performance can vary depending on the speed of the machine but they are not so slow as you would be led to believe. Performance is quite acceptable on a machine with the following specs. 2.4ghz P4 CPU + 2gb RAM

The major downside is settings cannot be saved between sessions so it is better to use a Linux distro. that will work out of the box without the need to install things like Flash player and multimedia codecs.

Ubuntu does not lend itself well to this as you need to install packages to get the most out of it

Here are a couple I recommend

Linux Mint 8
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=44
http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_helena.php
I am not suggesting Linux Mint 9 as there are issues with enabling 3D acceleration when running from the LiveCD

Just recently I've been having a problem with playing my newly burnt movies on my home or portable DVD players. The DVD maker seems to be working just fine and I havenât had any problems playing my burnt movies before. Any suggestions?

Answer
Try burning at lower speeds. computer optical drives (and computer) are less succeptable to disk read errors than other drives. Perhaps format you are burning is incompatible? What about disk type. i know my home entertainment dvd player doesn't play +R, disks (only in divx) but does -R

Where should I go for an engineering school?

Jake

So the other day I was a at a friends house and we were playing my madden 13 on his PS3, when we unplugged it to take it to the living room to play, and when we tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't work, it's basically done for. My problem was that my game was still in the system and it wouldn't eject. So I went out to their shed and got some screwdrivers and took the whole thing apart screw by screw and piece by piece. With the help of YouTube of course, I figured out how to manually eject my disc out of the DVD player. Then, I put the whole thing back together and everything was fine. Except for the fact that it was already broken. But anyways, for some reason I had fun unscrewing everything and taking stuff apart and putting it back together. It was the first time I had ever done something like that. I really enjoyed it. I'm a freshman in highschool and next year I'm planning on taking business classes. But, now I kind of want to change my mind and take a class for engineering. If that is what you're suppose to take. But anyway, if I enjoy taking those classes then I want to go to a big engineering school. I know Georgia Tech is one of the best, but does anyone know what classes I should take and what schools I should consider looking at?

Answer
Here are the 2013 rankings for the top 25 engineering schools in the U.S.....and their costs. Look carefully at the costs! Some are simply astronomical and you might need a scholarship. Others are more reasonable. You can look up individual institutions on the internet.
If you see a few that are close to where you live or in an area you'd in which you'd like to live/work get in touch w/ their admissions person and ask what courses you should take in high school. The somewhat extraneous looking number is the number of engineering students currently enrolled.

How do I play photographs on a DVD player?

best dvd player free download xp image

G-Mo 16

If I burn jpeg (or other image file types) onto a blank DVD disc, will it play on a regular DVD player? If not, how can I do this?

Answer
You can use software to create slideshow DVD's.

Nero PhotoShow is one of the best slideshow software available. You can download a free trial.
http://www.usnero.photoshow.com/

Ulead cd and dvd picture show 4 is also highly recommended.
http://www.ulead.com/dps/runme.htm

Roxio's PhotoSuite would be another alternative, however Roxio does not match Nero's popularity.

Windows PhotoStory 3 is a free alternative if you have XP.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx

Windows Movie Maker is another free choice, which is not all that bad, although there are many more features in the above choices.

What is the best way to run cd/dvd programs off of hard drive?

best dvd player for windows 7 image

John

I have a new Windows 7 Ultrabook (no dvd drive) laptop. Just wondering how best to run old programs/games off of the hard drive? I have a external dvd player to transfer the files. Thanks.
Some games (like Madden/Civilization) require you to leave the CD/DVD in the Drive and not run it completely off the CD/DVD Drive.
I mean run it completely off the hard drive.

Answer
It's best to reinstall any applications or games on the new computer instead of copy and pasting the files over. Sometimes that will work but a lot of the time the programs have dependencies installed in other places (such as the registry or a folder with saved data).

To transfer you will need to hook up your old hard drive to a PC and burn the files to a cd or flash drive.

How can I burn an MP4 file to a DVD to be played on a DVD player?

Q. I copy and paste the MP4 file onto a blank DVD but it just says it needs to burned using a certain program.

Do I need to convert the MP4 file? What program would I use? I specifically want it to play on a normal (region 2) DVD player. Any help? (: I'm using Windows 7.

Answer
i think you should convert your mp4 file to avi, i suppose its going to work like that, as far as i know avi is optimized for burning to dvd.
if youre looking for a good converter for both windows and mac i can recommend you audials tunebite, ive been using their products for some time and they work pretty good. and if youre not looking to invest any money into a new soft, i think you might be able to do the converting using one of their demo versions. but its a pretty great soft, if you take a look at audials one for example youll see its kind of like an all in one soft, does recording, burnind to dvd, file sharing, converting of course and some other cool stuff. anyway, this is a step by step guide on how you can convert mp4 to avi, if you wanna take a look and make an idea about how converting works:

How do I make a DVD made from Windows Movie Maker work on a DVD player?

Heather

I made a video for my friend as a graduation present on Windows Movie Maker and burnt it onto a blank DVD. But when I tried to watch it on a DVD player it wouldn't work, said disc error. How do I get it so it can be watched on a DVD player? I'm not very computer savvy, so the more information/help the better.

Answer
Burning a file to a DVD just makes a copy of it on the disk but it doesn't have the special coding that works with DVD players. You need a DVD authoring program which will make a playable DVD, a disk that will play in a DVD player.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 have Windows DVD Maker which will make a playable DVD. You can find it at Start>All Programs>Windows DVD Maker. It's not way down in the "Ws" but is up towards the top of All Programs with a bunch of other things that begin with "Windows....".

If you have Windows 8, you don't have DVD Maker so you'll have to download a DVD authoring program. Unfortunately, Microsoft dropped support for DVD Maker so you'll have to download 3rd party software. Just about all the freebies have some bugs and only the paid programs seem to work OK all the time. One of the easiest to use and most stable freebies is DVDFlick.

What is a device I can just watch movies and tv shows that I have downloaded?

best dvd players under 100 image

munchers65

I don't need any more functionality than that. Is there a portable dvd player with a sd card slot? I am tired of lugging around dvds. I also want it for under $100 so no fancy tablets. Thanks!

Answer
A tablet. Of course, the cheaper ones are likely not compatible with the legitimate content services, and I don't want to read that you are pirating these movies/shows.

Whats a cheap projector that I could use casually for playing movies on my walls?

Lauryn F

It needs to be connected to my computer, because I have a really tiny t.v. and no dvd player. I wanted a projector to play movies onto my walls, but Im looking online and the only ones I can find are either toys, or fancy conference room and home theatre projectors that cost around $1,000! I'm really trying to find one that's under $100, but I could go higher.

Answer
Best place is probably Ebay. Sometimes electronics stores have the cheap LCD or LED bulb types such as Torpedo (Check with Best Buy, Kohls, Walmart, and Target). Some are real cheap and cheezy but the Torpedo was reviewed as being the best of the low end. The only problem is that most of these will not allow you to directly connecting to a computer. Those are pricey, but you may be able to find an RGB (RS232) monitor connection cable that converts to an Analog AV signal. I have seen those on ebay as well. Good Luck

Why is there no audio when I burn a dvd using windows 7 media center?

best dvd player software for windows 7 image

kristi_wil

The audio track is clear. The audio plays on the pc after it encodes, so the encode is good. When I burn to dvd, the audio is not there. I checked three separate dvd players without success. I checked filters in windows media burner, then unchecked them. I've ran out of disks, but I would really like to solve this issue. I need an answer before my aunts birthday (May 6th). I compiled several years of video for her.

Is there any point in buying an expensive DVD player?

zarreff

I bought my DVD player from walmart 4 years ago for 20 bucks and it still works perfectly. All DVD players play DVD's so why would any pay more than 20 bucks for one?

Another thing too; if anything happens to my DVD player well it was only 20 bucks...other people spend over 100 bucks on theres so if that goes out they gotta shell out more dough.

Answer
At this point, no.

It's more financially better to buy a Blu-Ray player as it plays both DVD and Blu-Ray and it can usually upscales the DVD's movies and shows or whatever.


Or if you are a gamer, you should buy a PS3 or an Xbox 360. It has the DVD capability that you might be interested in.
