Making an AVI into a DVD movie

Discerptor · Nov 16, 2005

Okay, so my friend has an AVI file, and he would like to create a DVD movie disc (that you can pop into a standard DVD player) using the file as the actual movie. How would one go about doing this? Any help with making the DVD menu would be appreciated too. :dummy:

put the movie into iMovie and then export to iDVD.

How do you use toast to convert to DVD from AVI? What version of Toast can you use as well?
Thanks.

I have burned avi's directly in iDVD

I use Toast 7 - basically just drop the files into the 'Movie' pane and it'll recode the files and burn the DVD. Takes ages but it's easy.

Thanks for the response. I need to upgrade my Toast. Its about that time anyway.

Yeah - toast 7 isn't a huuuge leap from version 6 - but hte minor improvements are really useful.
