How to Convert AVI to DVD

Audio Video Interleave (AVI) is a multimedia container format created by Microsoft as part of its Video for Windows (VFW) technology. AVI files can hold both audio and video data in a file container that allows simultaneous audio-with-video playback. AVI files support multiple streaming audio and video such as the DVD video format. AVI is a common format for audio/video on the PC and can be supported by some standalone DVD players. It is not ideal for use as a general purpose container.

To play an AVI file on Windows the type of decoder on the computer must be determined to render the video. AVI files have a property called a FourCC, which has four letters, determined by the kind of encoding used. VFW decoders then register particular FourCCs with Windows, letting it know that they can decode video in those formats.

AVI files can be produced with no compression, resulting in extremely large file sizes, but with no loss of quality from the input video to the saved file. This also requires no codecs to be installed, either for saving or playback; as such it is recommended to use a Lossless Compression format instead.

AVI files can be easily converted to DVD with the use of convertor programs accessible on the internet. One example is the Avi2DVD which is a graphic user interface that uses freeware tools and various freeware encoders or CCE to perform conversions. Other types of convertors are Convert Genius, Adobe Premier, Nero, and Pinnacle.
