How to Convert Raw AVI to DVD
To convert raw Audio Video Interleave (AVI) video files to DVD format for playing on a standard home DVD player, a DVD authoring program such as Nero Vision or Roxio MyCD is required. Nero Vision is an application included with the Nero Multimedia Suite, along with Nero Burning ROM and a backup and restore utility. Roxio MyDVD may be purchased as a stand-alone application. Creating a DVD in either application is straightforward as all tasks are wizard-driven in a user-friendly interface. Create the DVD by importing the AVI file and then designing a DVD menu, if desired.
