Someone help me. AVI -> either WMV or MPEG

[MadeInNewJersey]

Hang on, you just want to burn the .avi's in to DVD format? are you wanting to make a title screen or just put the .avi onto a DVD format? or just put the files on a DVD?

need the answer to this.

I would mostly like to simply convert AVI files to either WMV or MPEG, because I already have the software necessary to edit, author, etc., DVDs.

Does that help or answer your question?

k. cause i'm sure theres software to do .avi to dvd. but if you already have software you're familiar with, that'll be easier.
looking it up now. gimme a few mins,

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

ok, found some pretty good ones, but none are free, i'll download one when i get home then yousendshit it.

I've heard of something called WINAVI or something? I'm an idiot with this stuff.

PM me if/when you find anything; I'll be at the Vancouver/NY Rangers hockey game tonight until about 10:30 PM EST or so.

no worries, i'll do my best to remember when i get home. Shouldn't take more than a few mins to find something good, d/l it with bittorrent (they're small programs) and yousendshit. I've got songs that are bigger than most of these programs.

You could just PM me the BT link; I'm a torrent madman.

ok, i was assuming by your anti-piracy stance that you didn't know how to use BT

Ha ha, no, you don't think I got to 2500+ live bootlegs through buying them, did you?

Dear Gugs,

I hope your team gets smoked.

This is related so I'll ask it here.

How can I split up an AVI file into smaller pieces? I want to split it apart in 2 or 3 pieces so I can burn them onto CD-Rs.

Can I do it with Windows Movie Maker or do I need another program? If I do need another, anybody know a free one or one with a free trial?

Just buy a dvdplayer that plays divx, xvid etc., duhh. Only losers go through the trouble to reencode.

Hey gugsy pugsy, are you planning to download that AVI-MPEG thingy without paying for it?

Yeah, that's a reasonable option. Pay $100+ for a brand new DVD player (when I just bought a DTS WEGA w/ progressive scan less than 9 mos. ago) or find the right software and make this not a problem.

If it costs money, I'll buy it. If it's freeware, then yes, I'll download it.

You guys can try to catch me being a hypocrite all you want, but trust me when I tell you it won't happen.

Markgugs use this.

Fast and it's an all in one application. Trial Version appears to be fully functional. The only drawback from what I gather is that the sound can become choppy once converted. But for the task you need it for, sound isn't much of a concern.

Cool, thanks. That's the program I've heard of.

Also, I *like* the sound of porns! How else can you hear the "put it in my ass!" dialogue?

Update: downloaded the trial version of WINAVI (the conversion program), it fucking RULES. So goddamned easy to use, I'm amazed. Only thing is, the trial version leaves a "stamp" in the middle of the converted video with the message that you need to buy the full version to get rid of it. For $30, it's well worth it, so I just bought it. So easy!

 

[Hell Mike]

sorry but I can't hate you when you're not hypocritical about this =(

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I rule far too much to be a hypocrite.

Thieves.
