How to Burn DVDs With WinAVI

WinAVI is a powerful video converter and encoder, capable of transcoding dozens of popular video formats to a DVD file structure and burning it to disc. Input video formats include WMVs (Windows Media Videos), AVIs, MP4s (MPEG-4s), and FLVs (Flash Videos). WinAVI supports quick conversion times, but please allow up to several hours for your videos to convert to proper DVD format, depending on your computer's processing speed.

Things You'll Need

• Blank DVD

Instructions

1. Launch WinAVI and click the "DVD/VCD" tab in the left-hand panel.

2. Select the "DVD Option" in the "Destination Type..." pop-up menu to enter the main conversion window.

3. Click the "Add Files..." button near the top of the "Convert to DVD" screen. Locate your input video in the pop-up window and click "Open."

4. Click the "Browse..." button to the right of the "Output Directory" field to choose a folder on your hard drive to save your converted files. (Although you are burning to DVD, WinAVI must save the DVD files to location on your computer).

5. Check the "Pre Settings" field at the bottom of the screen to make sure it reads "DVD Video." Click the "Start" button to begin burning your file to DVD.
