    I was asking but a similar question ...

    ... my new dvd player plays DivX files so I can just create a Data DVD and copy the AVI file onto it (nodding2fingers)

    I'd already downloaded an episode of Heroes and was trying to watch it through the TV, now I can do it this way.

    BTW I bought a Samsung DVDVR355 (DVD recorder and VHS) for £158 - perfect for copying those old videos :$

    I nearly went for the Freeview version, but decided not to pay the extra £90.

    Did you have any audio synch problems with it? I had terrible trouble with audio synch when playing with other softwares.

    Me too

    For single AVI files I use DVD2SVCD to convert them to DVD. Old software and development ceased 2 years ago but still the best in my book.
    To make an episode DVD out of multiple AVI files, FAVC is my freeware solution of choice.

    RE: Me too

    I always swore by SVCD2DVD and even PAID for it,,,,,,,,, but i have since found AVI DVD Burner to be a lot more sync friendly, i've never had one out of sync with it, and it is actually a fair bit quicker. Always save the ISO file and never burn straight off.

    The one i posted is another of the same ilk but a freeware one i tried as someone had asked about them the other day, SVCD2DVD is still my weapon of choice for converting Mpeg and bin files.

    Nero will also do it

    I downloaded a cracked version from a torrent site ... which I assume is where you are getting the avi files from.

    I opted for a DivX compatable DVD player with a USB port. The DVD player I bought was soemthing like £45-55 from Sainsbury's, and does the job nicely - I think it's a Phillips

    Copy the files to my External hard drive and plug it into the DVD player, much less hassle than burning DVDs. Alternetively you can copy a whole season of AVI files from a US series onto 2 (sometimes 3) DVDs and watch them - or even 5 films on a single DVD. You'll go through a lot of more DVDs if you convert AVI to DVD.
