There are a couple of Windows-based converters downloadable from this site: http://www.321slideshow.com/vob-joiner.htm I've found that getting files into vob format is often the easy part, and laying out the vob files so they have valid title sets for the DVD burn is the harder part. If you've got the $30 to spend you can buy DVDSanta and avoid a lot of hassles http://www.dvdsanta.com/index.html?g01avi There's a free trial you can try out - it watermarks the DVD but you can give it a spin and see if you like it.

kapkomet Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 DVDShrink... it shrinks the DVD's to ensure that they fit on a standard DVD +/- R - but the quality isn't as good because it's compressed. Having said that if you just want to watch them and aren't worried about quality so much, it's a good program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the ones I have pushed through this program look as good as the original with a LOT of compression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I wouldnt use the free stuff. I use DVD Cloner and its worth the 20 bucks I paid for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I think we are missing a major part of this though. He wants to CONVERT .avi to a DVD file. That's something most of these burn programs won't do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowandrules83 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 On a somewhat related note, does anyone know a program to put a DVD onto an Ipod? I really don't feel like paying money to buy the ITunes versions of movies I already own on DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Windows side you have a lot of options: http://www.top-reviews.org/?gclid=CMPCuIOJno4CFQ5zHgodVlYjSA On Mac, this one has got good reviews: http://www.mp4converter.net/dvd-to-ipod-co...race_code=gadss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
