.avi Burning

Hello guys,
Question
I am downloading “Grandma’s Boy” (Comedy Movie) that is in avi format, i would like to know the best program to use to burn this onto a blank DVD disk so i can watch it on my 42″ Samsung HD TV. I would also like the correct software to get the best highest quality burn onto the disk, is avi the best format for quality? or should i get a converter and convert it to a different format? if i should convert it which program should i use?
The title says it’s a DVDRip… so would the video, audio quality be DVD Quality or does it depend on what program to person used to Rip it ?
Answer #1
It should be the same as DVD quality, burn it at 2x or 4x speed for safe quality (takes awhile, programs are PowerISO, UltraISO, Nero, Ultimate CD/DVD burner etc they all burn the same)
And make sure your TV or DVD player can play .avi files or youll have to convert the video back to classic DVD style.
Answer #2
But is avi the best format? or should i convert it?
Answer #3
if it has ‘hd’ or ‘hdtv’ stated in the post your downloading, then the quality will be awesome w00t, if not it may have to stretch the image abit which results in loss of quality.
either way if your DVD player can play .avi, .avi is fine and usually used for HDTV (good quality)
Answer #4
if you want to download an .iso image of the disk, it is a full copy of the dvd, not a rip shrunk to a smaller size. It will be the best quality but it will be 4-6gb(i think thats right). I like convertXtodvd as a burner, make sure you set it to PAL or NTSC whichever is relevant to your dvd player
Answer #5
You should buy a DVD player that plays MPEG4 (DIVX / XVID) Then you just burn the AVI files as they are on a disk and watch That’s what I do and it rocks.

ConvertX rules. You cant burn an avi to disc and expect it to play in a standard dvd player. Avi is not dvd compliant and needs to be converted, hence convertX.
The menu options are relatively limited, but if you want a ‘freeze and judder’ free disc with the best possible image, it is the best way to go.
Specifically desgned to convert a d/l video file to DVD, fast with little user input.
