First thing first. The reason I recommend AVI2DVD is that it is an entirely free program freely available on the net. that means there are no limitations to the DVD you want to create. whereas if you're prepared to go in for a paid solution then DVD santa is the best.

secondly the menu option is given only for those who want to make a professional looking DVD. it doesn't matter if you make a menu or not. you can also directly select go after making the required changes.

Making a MENU is an OPTION not a compulsion, to just try n give your DVD a better look.

thirdly always whenever you're trying to burn a DVD or VCD for that matter always try playing the content you're intending to write, before you finally burn it onto a disk. this will save you precious media if there is sumthing wrong with the files.

like in powerDVD it gives you an option to play a DVD from the HDD. you can always check first that the files are written correctly before you finally write them onto the disk.

Hope it helped.

I think the time that you're mentioning would be the time taken for AVI2DVD to convert the files from AVI to standard DVD format and then burning it. Also you've not replied to my earlier question regarding where exactly do you want to play it on. if its a latest generation DVD player its a chance that it will play the avi automatically. those ones generally have "DivX" written onto them.

If its not the case its only then that you need to do the steps aforementioned above.

Also the encoding time varies from system to system depending on the sys specs, free space amount of programs running (since this is a labor intensive process, I recommend that you do not do anything else while running an encoding process)

Hope it helped.

wowwww you know something you sure know alot wow 👏 keep it up well ..i want to play the dvds on a dvd player i live here in the U.K so ermm there are differernt dvd players some have the AVI player and some dont but i would like to burn it so it can play on all the dvd player so when i go out and about i can take them and play them there.. iv gone to the shops to look around and most of them here in the shops or where i live dont have a AVI player sooim a bit stuck here in the middle ..well i followed the steps on the tutorial you kindly found for me  and i followed them and its taken this long im suprised i expected it to take like 4 or 7 horus but not 13 hours (more than a half a day) 😕hehe i was suprised

ok woooooooooooooo i fianlyl manged to do one film with the help of you thankuuuuuuuuuuuuu i did it in 9 hours
i wanted to ask is there no way i can like stop at a palce at one day and then start agne the other?

glad to know you could get it done.

Anyways as I said encoding is the most time-consuming part. thatz where the majority of your 13 hrs must have gone (12+ if i'm not mistaken). If you ever need any more help than I-F's CST Forum is always at your service.

We'll I'm just curious, why does it ask you everytime you turn on your PC. don't you let it complete even once. I think if you do then your problem will be over with.

Do let it complete once then tell me if you still have problems.
