Hi ..been a while since I've been here!

I've recently downloaded a movie it's separated into 2 avi files...(which I can play on my p.c fine audio and video)

I would like to transfer them onto a dvd so that I can watch it on my stand alone player.

Could someone please let me know what the best guide for doing this is?

Thanks.

Moving this to the DVD forum.

Does it uses AC3? Because 2 CD releases often do. If so I would suggest demuxing it and reusing it. Then you only need to convert the video, plus you get to have 5.1 sound.

Hi celtic ...good to see you're still around mate!

I've used gspot to figure out it does use ac3...(have installed the right codec etc)

Could you please talk me through or letme know of a guide on how to "demux it and re-use it" + how to convert the video....?
Will doing the above reduce the quality in any way...?

Sorry for the ignorance,the last time I done any dvd back-up was using rishardc's guide about 2 years ago.

Thanks.

Tmpgenc is the program I use, go to file then find MPEG tools should be a demux feature on the menu that pops up. It will demux leaving an m2v file and an mp2, remux the two and it will leave an mpg. After that I use a dvd authoring program like dvd-lab to encode the mpg into dvd files.HTH

Sorry, don't believe in guides.

We are talking about an AVI here not an mpg. For mpg's I find it easier to use bbdemux anyway.

Open the first AVI in VirtualDubMod, select append from the file menu and open the second. Go to the streams menu, select the AC3 and press demux. Lastly run the AC3 through BeSliced to make sure that there aren't any errors.

For converting the video I would then frameserve both parts to CCE and yes there will be a loss in quality as there is whenever you encode something with a lossy compression. Depending on the length though I doubt anyone could see it.

Could also just join the AVI's when you have them in VirtualDubMod.

Grrr, I need to clean my glasses.
