Burning Videos to DVD

cherrychacha · 05-26-2009, 11:58 AM

Hey, team. Like all other n00bs I created an account to ask my very specific question. I did scan past posts, but didn't find anything specifically applicable to me.

I'm trying to get video files onto a DVD. I don't care about watching them in a DVD player, and so am trying to keep them as .avi files in order to save space and fit more on one DVD. However, windows media player won't let me burn through there. I also am unable to simply copy the files to a DVD drive. So I used ImgBurn in order to copy them over; which worked well, until I inserted the DVD again to check and found that it had only copied the sound and was missing the video portion. The original files were complete and not corrupted in any way.

I'm up for converting .avi to something else, but I just need to be able to play it again on my computer at some point in the future.

Does anyone have any advice?
