Answer 1

I would recommend you download ConvertXtoDVD. Ive been using it for a year now, never had a problem!



It will convert multiple video files (eg: AVI's) to the dvd format readable by all standard dvd players, then burn all the converted videos automatically to DVD.



it is easy to use, fast and it works perfect for me.. give it a try, you'll love it



1. Download ConvertXtoDVD here:

http://www.burner-software.com/AVI-to-DVD-Converter/AVI-DivX-XVid-to-DVD.php?exact=ConvertXtoDVD3



It can convert any video file.. like wmv, mpeg, asf, mp4, avi to dvd



2. Add or drag-n-drop as many video files as the DVD can handle



3. Insert blank DVD



4. Click "Convert"



5. Enjoy watching those video files on your home DVD player! =)



ConvertXtoDVD has a lot of extra nice features too,

for example you can make your own ANIMATED DVD Menu!! or auto-generate it.. add subtitles, auto-burn to dvd or save your conversion.

Answer 2

Honestly I would recommend Roxio Easy Creator or Roxio MyDVD



These are the simplest programs to convert your Video files and place them on a DVD with or without a menu. And it is user friendly. Once you understand the DVD building process, you can move up to more sophisticated programs if you like. But from what I see you want this for home use, so this would be the best choice.



Also, Roxio will burn the DVD as it encodes it, instead of encoding it to the Hard Drive then burning it.



Hope this helps!

Answer 3

ultimately it will depend on how large these individual .avi files are if they will all fit onto a single dvd once converted - some codecs produce extremely large files



I've often used Sothink DVD Movie Maker to add several files at the same time and convert them to dvd; free here

if it doesn't work for you or if you've tried this software, other free alternatives include DVDFlick and Avi2dvd

if the results prove unsatisfactory, you may have to invest in software such as Winavi or Plato DVD creator

I use AVS Video converter

It is very simple with this tool

- download, install and run the program

- open a file or file you want to burn

- click “To DVD” button

- click “Convert Now”

After conversion is finished, it will ask you to insert a blank DVD
