| AVI to DVD with soft subtitle and menu with AVI2DVD | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Apr 11 11:27 | ||||
| This guide will illustrate how to convert an AVI file to DVD with switchable subtitles and a professional looking menu using the freely available AVI2DVD and its DVD menu creator.
You will need: the movie, in AVI format (usually about 700 MB or so) the subtitle of the movie, usually in SRT format AVI2DVD (available here on the website) Irfanview (to convert the pictures) a paint program (to add text and other effects to background), such as PAINT.NET (free) a couple hours to spend (most of which is unattended) about 10 GB of space and a lot of patience! Before you start, please load the movie and subtitle into your favorite player and test them to make sure they synchronize properly. If they don't, use something like Subtitle Workshop to fix them, but that's subject for another guide. Anyway, start up AVI2DVD, and you're in the initial screen "Step 1: Input" 
Load the AVI file you want, go onto "step 2: Output" 
In screen 2: output, you can leave everything as "default". Change the output ISO filename if you want to, or if you don't need an ISO at all, uncheck the choice "make Iso". If you have a PAL video source, 25 fps, be sure to select PAL to NTSC conversion. I usually leave the chapter settings alone, with default of every 5 minutes. It's enough so people can skip, and it doesn't take any time on your part. In any case a chapter menu is beyond the scope of this guide. Go onto Step 3: Encoders 
I usually leave everything alone here as well. QuEnc is free MPEG2 encoder. The more choices you select, the slower encoding becomes. I usually check everything except Trellis, and Extreme quality. Those 2 can stay off. I'd suggest you encode a short piece, maybe 15 seconds to a minute, and check the output quality begfore you decide, or just leave it as default. Go onto Step 4: Subtitles 
Click on the button to load the matching subtitle to the first (and likely, only) soundtrack. Leave all other settings alone. You may want to consider making the fonts slightly smaller than the original default, but that's up to you. I use the settings here. Now add the job and watch it appear below. Do NOT click on "Go!' yet. Click on Step 5: DVD Menu 
A very professional looking menu can be created with a nice picture, a line of text, and some text buttons. You don't need fancy music or looping video to impress. Easiest way to find the picture for your background is via the Internet. Google's image search is an excellent way to start. I am going to demonstrate by using a Japanese movie called Zatoichi (2003). I found this wallpaper for Zatoichi on the net... It has enough blank space for the menus, excellent. NOTE: If you don't like the pictures you find, or rather not to, you can use the built-in DVD frame capture. Click on Capture Images button on step 5, and pick some frames out of the movie itself as your main menu. 
Open the picture into Irfanview, and resize it to 720 x 480 for the background. I am on NTSC system, so I use that resolution. If you have PAL, you'll have to use some other resolution appropriate for your system. Save it with a different name as a BMP file, and load it into your paint program. The menu creator only load BMP files. Add the title and other texts in the Paint Program as you see fit. 
And leave some TINY marker for where you want the controls to go back in the menu creator. You would need three buttons: subtitle on, subtitle off, and play movie. It's recommended that you do all the text and picture manipulation here as the interface for adding the text buttons is EXTREMELY convoluted in AVI2DVD's menu creator. Once you are satisfied, save the picture, and load it into the menu creator. 
Now let's add the buttons, by using TEXT BUTTON below, click and drag, enter text. If you need to reposition the item, make sure you have "move mode" selected at the bottom. Else you'll end up replacing the item. And you must draw the box big enough, but you don't see the box. That's what I mean by convoluted. :) Any way, you just need 2 words: English and Off. Click on Add SubButton, and the first one will be "Off", then "English". Change the settings so they sort of match what's on already used in the background, or at least get reasonably close. Then there's one more button... PLAY MOVIE. Add that as well. Make sure you assign the menu to the job by using that selector to the right. Check the checkmark, select the job number (usually, only 1), and hit the SAVE MENU button. 
Hit GO, and let it finish.
Test the entire folder first with something like PowerDVD, which will play off the HD in "DVD on HDD mode". Once you are satisfied, then you can burn the image to a DVD, using whatever tool you choose, such as Nero or DVDDecryptor. Enjoy your DVD! | ||||

| Hi...
I followed all the instructions above but when I about press GO!!!..It asked me to choose an audio stream...so I went back to Step 1 but there is nothing in the audiostream to choose from... Can you please help me out... Thanks in advance.. | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Apr 22 09:34 | ||||
Weird. What does GSpot say about your file? | ||||
| ironchef posted 2006 Apr 22 11:16 | ||||
| Hi Kschang...
Thank for the fast reply....I am very new to some of these programs... Which information you want to know about mi file when open with GSpot....sorry I don't how to capture the screenshot.. Stream Type and A/V Interleave Type:OpenDML AVI IMRR:1.00 I/L:1 vid frame (40ms), p=504 Split: No Not sure is that what you after... Thanks | ||||

| Hi.
I have the same problem as ironchef. There is no audiostream option given. | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Apr 22 16:29 | ||||
| I want to know about the audio stream in your AVI file.
Use something like Gadwin Printscreen (free tool) to take the shot, then read the instructions at the bottom to upload/post the shot. You can crop out the name of the file and such. | ||||
| ironchef posted 2006 Apr 22 21:31 | ||||
| Here the capture...Hope it work...
Thanks  | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Apr 23 00:08 | ||||
| You have a VBR (variable bit-rate) MP3 as your audio track. Very nasty stuff. While it COULD increase the quality and reduce file size, the headache it introduces far outweighs the benefits in produces.
What you need to do is to demux the audio from the AVI, convert it back into CBR (constant bit-rate) MP3, then mux it back into the AVI so you can use it with AVI2DVD. Follow this topic for a bit of help: http://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=296981 | ||||
| ironchef posted 2006 Apr 23 04:26 | ||||
| Will this decrease the quality of the movie..??
I also use The Filmmachine and it work well...quality is good....but it don't have the menu option.... Thanks | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Apr 23 10:23 | ||||
| I doubt you'll notice the quality difference in audio. I certainly don't. | ||||
| swarez posted 2006 Apr 25 10:18 | ||||
| How do you demux and mux audio from and to a avi file?
I'm having a hell of a trouble getting this to work. I tried using Video dub Mod but I could'nt get the audio stream to work after that as well and I don't know how to combine the video and audio files together in a single file. | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Apr 25 20:05 | ||||
| That's actually a different topic altogether. In the future please ask that sort of question in the newbie forum. For now, here's your answer. In VDubMod, open your AVI, open the streams menu, and you should see the "save WAV" which will take out the audio for you and save it as a large WAV file.
Process the WAV however you want, compress it to MP3 or MP2 even. When ready, turn OFF the existing audio track by double-click it. It should turn "cross-hatched". Then add your new audio track by hitting the ADD button. Pick processing mode as "stream copy". And Save the AVI, and let it start processing. VDubMod will then combine the audio with the video for you, replacing the original soundtrack. | ||||
| swarez posted 2006 Apr 26 11:34 | ||||
| Thanks man, I appriciate it.
Still not working though. The avi file that VDM makes uses the Microsoft PCM format that Avi2DVD doesn't recognise as well. I've tried converting the wav file through Itunes but that doesn't work either. Thanks anyway, I'll keep on trying. | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Apr 27 22:33 | ||||
| That means you didn't set the audio compression. Set it to MP3 compression, pick a bitrate out of that long list, do full processing, and try generating another AVI file. | ||||

| hi i have a question. i want to install two subtitle files--should they be the same folder---have different names? i am not sure if this is even possible. | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Apr 30 20:23 | ||||
| It should be quite possible. I just never had to do it yet. Just add ANOTHER subtitle button. AVI2DVD allows up to 3 different ones. | ||||
| compuwhiz1 posted 2006 May 17 09:03 | ||||
| I took your advice, and downloaded Avi2dvd to convert a video that I downloaded from my VCR to my computer (yes, I know that VCR's are becoming extinct, but you can't find this movie on DVD!). When I opened the program, and selected my .avi file, it said that I had to remove symbols (such as underscores) from the input file name, so I did. So I went back into Avi2dvd and selected the newly renamed file. After a few seconds, the program comes up with an error that says something along the lines of "Floating division point by zero". Now, I'm usually able to figure technology out with just fooling around with it, but as soon as this error comes up, the program freezes, and I have to exit and open the application back up. What in the world do I have to do to fix this problem?
Thanks! screenshot.jpg | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 May 18 18:17 | ||||
| Hmmm... I don't know. You were able to play this AVI okay, I guess? No errors at all? This program is somehow VERY picky about punctuation marks and such. I simply took them ALL out and left the .AVI
EDIT: I noticed in your screenshot that the "resolution" was kinda messed up. Did GSpot say your AVI was okay? | ||||
| compuwhiz1 posted 2006 May 18 18:48 | ||||
| Ok, I figured out with Gspot that I did not have the correct codec installed to play the video... I should have figured that out when Windows Media Player kept playing it as an song instead of video. Thanks for the help, and I'll let you know how it goes! | ||||

| Hi all:
I managed to make a DVD with this wonderfull program. Now I need an information. I have a movie with 2 AVI files. Is it possible to create only one DVD file with these 2 AVI files without any interruption on the movie ?? Also pls note that I have to add Subs to the movie that are also splied into 2 SRT files. pls explain if it is possible. tks in advance and sorry if this was explained in this forum already. hilario. | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Jun 13 10:12 | ||||
| from the way I understand, you just rename them to [title]1.avi and [title]2.avi where [title] is your actual title. Basically it must be consecutive. Just add the first file, and the program knows to seek out the 2nd file and so on. However, I'm not 100% sure on that. Maybe you need to add ALL of them. :-/ | ||||
| hilario posted 2006 Jun 18 03:32 | ||||
Ok i found. Not exactely like that: we have to rename like this: title cd1.avi and title cd2.avi The program will join both files.Same for the subtitles. Tks.hilario. Now I have a different problem. I have a movie in 2 avi files.The program accepts to convert both in separate.!! But when I want to put them together , using above System CD1, CD2, it will convert only first half of the movie.This is very strange as I alreday made a convertion with anotehr 2 files movie, and it worked!!. I made a DIRECT STREAM COPY with Virtualdub , but ... same result... Any ideas ??? By the way if I get 2 VOB files of that movie (using AVI2DVD ) how can I join the 2 parts ??? This could be a solution. hilario EDIT: problem solved= used AVI-MUX and it worked.There was a problem on one of the files. | ||||

| kschang posted 2006 Nov 03 23:43 | ||||
| Interface not supported? That sounds like a bad DLL or wrong codec being used. Which encoder did you use and what does the log say after that? | ||||
| gutabo posted 2006 Nov 10 17:00 | ||||
| Greetings,
Thanks for this nice guide, it has helped me a lot. I was wondering, I have 4 short movies I wanted to do a DVD with, can it be done with this nice app? I don't want to join them, I want to have them as separate movies inside the same DVD... Thanks in advance! | ||||
| FBI Agent posted 2006 Nov 15 08:29 | ||||
| Great program, but the sound is out of sync. How can I fix this? | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Nov 16 00:47 | ||||
That'd be beyond the authoring capability of this program, I think. Try converting them individually to MPEG2, then author them with GUIforDVDAuthor or DVDStyler. | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Nov 16 00:49 | ||||
In general, audio desync is due to a bad audio conversion. Is it a constant offsync (always X second(s) behind) or is it a gradually increasing missync (gets worse and worse)? The former is easy to fix. The latter... Is either bad conversion or bad frame rate, and is a bit more complicated. How about show GSpot output of your source file, and what format did you convert it into using AVI2DVD? (PAL or NTSC?) | ||||

| Hi,Great Guide and a big help for a n00b such as myself,thanks a lot.
I followed the guide and managed to make my 1st DVD,but due to the subtitle being all wrong,I wanted to re-do the DVD all over,but now everytime I try to do so I end up with the same error,After Muxing the subtitles,it seems the program is unable to save the *.mpg file,and I always end up with a "0 bytes" files,causing the program to stop. this is from the AVI2DVD program log :
Thanks in advance :) | ||||
| toolazy posted 2006 Nov 27 08:58 | ||||
| I've found out what my problem is,and in case anyone is interested (I doubt it :P) :
I've been trying to add an Arabic Subtitle,so I changed the "character Set" to *ISO8859-6* -Picture 4 on the original Guide - since that's the encoding for Arabic,I got that by clicking on the *?* next to the "character Set" Drop list. For some reason,when this application,DvdAuthor Mikisofs was trying to create the *Encoded_Video_Muxed_Subbed.mpg* file,that's where the Program crashed and wasn't able to continue. I still haven't found a direct solution to this,other than making the DVD,then following another Guide to replace the faulty Subtitle with a working one without losing the Menu. | ||||

I have a problem with converting film form .avi to VCD or DVD. After video converting and audio converting , there is a warning[like in the picture] AudioStream 1 MP3 2CH was not found. I tried to change bitrate and encoders, but it gives no effects. What else can I do to convert this file? audio%20steram%202.bmp | ||||

Hi. Great article! I follow all the instruction given but this error came up. Any idea why? | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Dec 15 21:07 | ||||
| You didn't have the right codec installed. How did you play the AVI? | ||||
| kschang posted 2006 Dec 15 22:24 | ||||
In general, that means you have 1) run out of space on the HD, or 2) you didn't rename the AVI to get rid of extra punctuation and spaces. | ||||
| peewee714 posted 2006 Dec 15 23:12 | ||||
i am sorry was that for me? | ||||
| peewee714 posted 2006 Dec 16 15:32 | ||||

| kschang posted 2006 Dec 28 21:36 | ||||
| Well, reading the log says SPUMUX has failed and dumped a 0 byte output, so I'd look there. It sounds like you already got your video and audio files. I'd just skip AVI2DVD for now, and use DVDAuthorGUI to input the video, audio, and subtitles, and make it generate the VIDEO_TS folder with the appropriate IFO and VOB files. I know it's not fixing the AVI2DVD output, but I want you to have something to show first. :) SPUMUX is known to have a few glitches, at least in my experience. | ||||

It took about 5 hours for the process to complete so I'm a bit disappointed. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix that so my next 5 hour attempt isn't in vain? | ||||

| Avi2Dvd is good and easy to use. Everything works fine, but I have one problem. It changes video resolution. For example, the original is 588x244, and Avi2Dvd changes it to 588x322. The result is thin and tall people. I hope you understand what I mean. If it's important, I use pal system and I convert from NTSC if I have to. Thanks | ||||

| Hi there.
I was wondering can somebody help me Avi2DVD? I just moved to Canada from Europe. While in my old PC (back in Europe) I had TV Out, in my current PC I dont. So im forced to burn some of my AVI files to DVD in order to watch them. I was trying the software but it looks like the video is playing far to fast and then the voice is left behind. What can it be? I tried to play it first in my HDD with PowerDVD software. In folder that was created from output i have ISO file (771.124kb) and AC3 file (120.390kb) Another thing is that in Step 2 (Output) Convertion PAL to NTSC i disabled, I have only NTSC to PAL (Im going to play this DVD in Canada) With GSpot Software it says that Codec Are installed. I look forward to hear from anyone :-) Thanks in advance Regards | ||||

Anyway, there seems to be something wrong with the mp3 to AC3 conversion. One thing is the ü and ö inte directory name - may cause problems for some apps perhaps? If not, I'd say there's something wrong with the source audio. /Mats | ||||

| dammit....I should get a huge L tattoed on my forehead....You were right with the ö and ü thing... Its OK that as a Hungarian i wouldnt think of the ö and ü as weird characters, but I had to remove weird chars like ( and ) from the filename of the avi, and from that I shouldve thought abt the dir name.Anyway thanks a lot! | ||||
| mats.hogberg posted 2007 Apr 12 05:27 | ||||
| Ö is not uncommon is Sweden too, but as a general rule, I try to avoid any characters > ASCII 127 in folder/file names. As well as stick to 8.3 file names.

| kschang posted 2007 May 03 23:28 | ||||
Yes, install the XVID codec and/or FFDShow (which also handles XVID decoding, and a lot more) | ||||

Uh, you didn't upload the pic, so I can't see a thing... | ||||
| kschang posted 2007 May 03 23:33 | ||||
Well, did you check if the part 2 subtitles actually match up with part 2 of AVI? In my experience sometimes Part 2 of AVI actually repeat a few seconds of the scene from part 1 for continuity, thus completely messes up the subtitle if not checked and corrected. I personally would NOT rely on the auto-join. I'd join the AVIs myself, join the subtitles myself (it's just text files, open them with notepad and do cut-and-paste), then feed the unified file to AVI2DVD. :) AFTER testing it, of course. | ||||
| kschang posted 2007 May 03 23:35 | ||||
If they are in like .VOB and .BUFs and such, they are already "ripped" so to speak. You don't need either as it's not encrypted like commercial DVDs. If that's NOT what you meant... I guess you'll need to explain to us with a screenshot of what you're seeing in your folder. | ||||

| can i add 13-15 avi files of 350 mb each to add them in one single dvd so i can watch all the tv series from one dvd through dvd player not computer | ||||
| mats.hogberg posted 2007 Jun 11 06:11 | ||||
| You can, but I'd suggest you stay below 2-3 hours of video / DVD-5 if video quality is at all on your list of requirements.
/Mats | ||||
| vampelle posted 2007 Jun 11 06:48 | ||||
| isnt they a way to break the limit of this 2-3 hours with good quality.
i just want to add the files with same quality and audio sound of its original avi. like 12 avi with 350 mb each someway to just convert what size and quality it is just to dvd without changing anything or just aspect ratio. | ||||
| mats.hogberg posted 2007 Jun 11 07:11 | ||||
| No. Expect 3-4 times as big files when you convert your regular DivX/XviD AVI to DVD compliant mpg, and want to keep the original quality. Using that rule of thumb, 4-5 episodes/single layer disk is what you should go for. Or get a DVD player that plays them as is (DivX/XviD capable player) and just burn them as data files to a DVD-5.
Or define "good quality" lower than I (and most) do. /Mats | ||||
| vampelle posted 2007 Jun 11 11:55 | ||||
| well when they will be available here i will, until than i will keep on looking as u see here in my country ppl are putting all or some of the tv series in one single dvd (dvd format) like i have a tv series season 1 (eps 01-15) in one dvd and nice quality too watch like if i download 300 mb files size one.
anyway thx u for helping | ||||
| mats.hogberg posted 2007 Jun 11 12:03 | ||||
| If you reduce the quality to VCD specs, you can fit 6-7 hours to a DVD-5 - That's possibly what you're looking for. If so, use TMPGEnc (free to use for mpeg1/VCD), encode to mpg1 (using the VCD template), then author with TMPGEnc DVD Author (free 30 day trial available).

The "brain" of your computer. The speed of the "brain" is what affects encoding/conversion time. /Mats | ||||

| Well, the fastest encoder is CCE, but that costs (lots of) money.
If you read the guide, you'll see
This takes time on a slow computer. The upside is that you don't have to sit and stare at the screen all the time. Go to bed. Go out and play soccer. Read a good book. /Mats | ||||

| mats.hogberg posted 2007 Aug 07 04:21 | ||||
AFAICS, there are a few options available to you: Get a faster computer. Try convertx2dvd - trial version available, or try the completely free predecessor divx2dvd. Get a DVD player that also plays DivX/XviD AVI. No need to reencode to DVD that way, just burn as data to CD or DVD and put it in the player. A faster computer is by far the most expensive option. A DivX/XviD capable player is cheap - I'm sure you can find some for around £30 /Mats | ||||

| Hello everybody!
I've got 1 (hopefully) easy question and 2 more difficult ones. 1. I've concerted a wmv-file successfully to a DVD by using Avi2Dvd. The created folder "Avi2dvd_temp" contains some files as well as another folder "DVD" which contains two more folders. One of them (AUDIO_TS) is empty whereas the other one (VIDEO_TS) contains the files I need to play my DVD. Is it correct, that I only have to burn this Folder (VIDEO_TS) to my DVD-Disc and nothing else? I tried it and an my Notebook as well as on my PC it works properly. However, when I wanna play it with my DVD-Player on TV, it doesn't recognise the DVD as a DVD so it doesn't start playing the movie... Does somebody know how to solve this problem? 2. I made a DVD Menu using PAINT.NET (recommendable program by the way). My problem is that I did not really get how to put those unvisible boxes around the text I've written and I want to use for "Start Movie", "Open Chapter-List" or thins like this. Could anyone explain this part to me agian please? I think the part with "put TINY markers" has to do with that? 3. My last question is about the Menu too. Is it possible to have a Main-Menu and a Chapter-Menu so that my Chapter Menu opens as soon as I click on "Chapter-List" in the Main Menu? And if I click on "back to main menu" in the Chapter-Menu, the Main Menu opens again? In InterVideo WinDVD5 are two options when you click on "Menu". One is Main Menu and the other one Chapter Menu. So I'm pretty sure there must be a solution for this?!? Thank you very much for your responses!!! Remo | ||||
