Convert AVI to DVD to play on a home dvd-player

[Cyborg_Commando 0]

ok here's the thing

 

I've got many movies, but many of them have resolution

352x288

 

now I just recently bought a dvd-burner

and I want to burn them on a dvd to play it on a dvd-player

 

but the resolution of a dvd is 720x576

so will the movie be stretched out from 352x288 to 720x576?

You cannot just put AVI movies on a DVD (unless you have a DivX-compatible DVD player), you have to re-encode (or transcode) them to MPEG2. While doing this the resolution will also be changed.

changed in what way....quality loss by stretching the image?

Try searching on Google, there has to be heaps of info on this sort thing on Internet.

I wouldn't recommend stretching any video into a larger size. It always looks bad specially at that low a resoultion.

 

Have fun rendering your files.

 

If you don't want to go converting everything and all that stuff you can just throw the vids on a VCD.

Well... there might be some minor quality loss. But really it needs to be converted to the video format that DVD players use. And it may not look as good as a 'real' DVD because the input movie has a lower resolution than regular DVDs.
