Burning Dvd From Files

[jlane]

Can anyone tell me if Toast 11 will burn a dvd dual layer from a .avi file?

What I am wanting to do is convert itunes purchased movies to .avi files and then burn them to a dual layer dvd when the movie is too long for a standard dvd. I have a program on my PC which will do the conversion but it won't burn to dual layer dvds.

Thanks,

John

Yes, presuming there isn't any copy protection present. You also likely will need to install the perian codec from perian.org or you likely wouldn't have any audio on your DVD.

tsantee--

I finally purchase Roxio Toast 11 and when I attempted to burn a DVD from my .avi files of converted iMovies, I got an error message saying that it was missing a codec for the file. I took your advice and installed the perian codec. That solved the problem.

Thanks very much for your help.
