my friend has a program that can burn things like .mpeg and .avi files to cd's so they can be read by dvd players. anybody heard of a program that can do that, and if so, could you send a link to where i could pick it up?

If he's your friend why won't he give you a link?

we know eachother from school, we don't keep in touch online, and i don't have his phone number. school doesn't start for a week and a half on top of that. so yeah that's why. ok that came off sounding kinda assholish. sorry bout that.

Well usually you have to encode the avi to mpeg, so that the dvd can read them. It's called converting it to VCD. You can TMpeg, I find it to be the best program out there and straightforward to use.

BEWARE You will need a good comp to encode, and it will take hours to do so. Plus it stresses your comp too. I reccommend at least a 800mhz proccessor, 512+mb of ram, a 7200rpm hard drive and at least 10gb of space laying around.

I know some people that burn me DVD's and stuff like that (I'm the music hook-up around here, he's the movie hook-up). I don't know any programs, but just so you know, not all DVD players will play them. Only DVD players that will read CD-R's AND have VCD compatibility.

I used TMpeg like Tetsuo reccoemnded (thanks), but after I burn the completed product, it doesn't splice in the audio. If anyone knows of a program that can split audio and video in a .mpeg file, please tell me.

oh yeah and on those specs, it only took me about an hour to encode 300 megs, and my pc's maybe half those specs

Uhh...I can't remember one, check TMPeg's link list.
