Question AVI video conversion question


If I have a video that is in AVI format What Format should I convert it to to be playable off a cd in a normal TV-DVD player setup (not dvd player in computer)



Once I know the format it needs, I can then find a program that will convert it for me, Thanks! -John

Alot of DVD players can play "VCD".
You can get about an hour on one CD.
If you don't have the manual for your DVD player, look on
the front of it to see if it says it will play VCD.

I have seen one DVD that will play "DIVX". You could put
a whole feature film on a DIVX CD.

You need to convert it to mpeg1 and burn it as a vcd or mpeg2 and make a svcd.
