Burning .avi files

[spiralgirl]

Hi,

 

 

I know for burning .avi files you click DVD Video right? The thing is when I do this with DVD as my choice I can only burn like 2 maybe 3 .avi files. There is another program I have that lets me burn about 10 or more of these at one time on a single DVD.

 

Is there another way to burn .avi's in Toast to get more on one disk?

 

Thanks,

 

S.

If the reason you are burning these to DVD is that you want to watch them using a standard DVD player, then that's the way it goes. The video must be in a format that the player will recognize and that is a less-compressed format than your AVIs.

 

But you might consider getting a DVD player that plays DivX discs. In that case your AVI files might already be DivX playable and don't need any re-encoding or change in size.

Hi. I have several High Def .avi files that I downloaded off the internet. I wish to back them up on DVD so that I can free up some hard disk space. I don't need to play them on a DVD player. How can I burn them to disk while also keeping the High Definition?

 

Thanks for any help!

Burn them as data files. If they are larger than the capacity of a DVD then Toast will span them across multiple DVDs.
