"Creating my own DVDs?"

Ok, I've downloaded the entire season one of 'Scrubs' (excluding one episode i cant get hold of "114: my drug buddy") And i want to make a DVD.

I have a DVD burner, I was just wondering, are any of you guys DVD artists? Any Speilbergs out there that can help me?

I want to know what format the files need to be in (there currently in .avi)

Also what software would you reccomend?

I want to make a menu, nothing flash, just somthing where you can navigate through an episode list and press play to see that particular episode. Can anyone help?

Any replies will be apreciated.

Kool thanks.

I have my own very good programme that i use already.

I made the DVD and it works fine. I strongly recomend this program, its easy to use and some of the extra features are briliant.

Ok thanks.
I use that unlead powere DVD things to creat my DVD slide shows.
The come out very good, music and everything.

I used ULEAD DVD WORKSHOP, and i'm just compressing the VIDEO_TS file, I'll let you know if it work afterward.

Thanks Adrian, i have re-encode the file, when you go to write the cd it does it for you :P

http://www.dvdrhelp.com/ is a good resource site for tools and guides.

avi format doesnt work straight onto DVD. You need to convert the avi file into a file which works on DVD. The new Easy CD Creator has this built in and is pretty good, but your looking at convert times of 1.2 seconds for each real time second if you have a top of the range PC. Also you may need to re-encode the audio depending if its AC3 5-channel or MP3.

Yer i make my own DVD's.
Latest ones are:
T3
Pirats of the carribian
the office

Im not too sure that AVI files will work, but just give it a go mate, if you do could you let me know because im writing a DVD for my little brother and the file is in an AVI format and i want to know if it will work too befor i bur it.

Not DVDs but I read doom9 extensively.

Will do!

So do you make your own DVDs?
