Freeware AVI Converter
« on: July 24, 2009, 09:58:06 PM »

I've spent the last hour or so trying to find a freeware .avi converter, to convert my 1:30 hour long videos from school into a format that my sony dvd player or ps2 can read.

Does anyone know of a completely free file converter? I've downloaded a few that claimed to be entirely free, but required you to pay.

It would be nice if it was user friendly too, since I am terrible at video editing.

My DVD player plays .AVI files and .mpg's? Do you burn CD's and have Nero? Just drag and drop the .AVI files in Nero and create a video CD.
Or these are free....
This might work for your Playstation: http://download.cnet.com/Pazera-Free-PSP-Video-Converter/3000-2194_4-10820194.html?tag=mncol

1 of these might work for your DVD player: http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=AVI+to+DVD&searchtype=downloads&filter=licenseName=Free

So you have an avi file and you want to burn it to a DVD so you can play it in the DVD player?

http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/download-convertxtodvd.php

That program is by far the best and easiest to use. It will convert any file type to .vob, which is what is on the DVD.

It's not free, but download the trial and if you like it, then I can supply you with something to "make it work."

Convert X To DVD Version 3.x.x.x Guide

Now edit your settings to match mine, when you have got to know the program better you can change these settings to what you like.

After you have installed it, edit your settings, to do that go here


Here pick how long you want your chapters to be repeated, every 3 minutes is a good option.




Now here you must select the correct one for your location or for where you want your DVD to work. (Normally selected when installed)



Near the bottom of these pages will tell you what your country or area uses.
Code:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC


Here you will need to select how much priority the program has and the movie quality, the higher the priority the faster it will do its work, I would select Higher here but it’s total up to you.





For the burning speed I would chose something between 2x and 8x the slower the better. Try to use DVD-R or DVD+R discs, the best brands at the moment are Taiyo Yuden & Verbatim.



*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

So now onto the actual converting, after you have edited the setting that’s it you’re ready to go you won’t need to edit the settings again, unless you would like to.

So make sure you have a blank DVD-R or DVD+R in your drive.

Then Click here to select your movie file.


Then locate your movie file and select it.


Now Click on Convert and let it do its work.
