I hate watching porn on my computer, so I'm trying to find a (preferrably free) program that can both convert video files into something that's DVD-compatible as well as burn DVDs. Is there a general favorite around here? Appreciate the help.

If your TV is in the same room, would a video output converter work?

nero?

that came with my dvd burner and it seems to work okay for me. you can't really make sweet menus or anything, but it does the job, i think.

never made a dvd, but i imagine they aren't that difficult.

Hi,

Well, most of todays graphic cards have a TV_out. All you need is a few feed of cable and maybe a newer driver for your card. (dual monitor mode)

Look to videohelp.com, there's a program, DVD Flick, can make DVDs of video files, it's free. Not too sure of it's limitations, haven't used it yet.

Or for pay, you can find ConvertXtoDVD, I could never get the version I have to do wmv files too well, if at all.

Also, WinAVI converter works on the stubborn and crap video formats (like wmv and real media). Probably one of the easiest programs for newbs to use. I think there an option for you to choose which burning software you want to use (for this and ConvertX), though the one I use is also capable of ripping copyrighted DVDs, so I won't mention it.

There's hundreds more programs, mostly pay, but some decent free ones that work surprising well.

I've used DVDFlick and it can convert divx / xvid AVI files.
I have not tested wmv,mpg,mov. Be prepared to wait a few hours, depending on the ammount of files and length of said
files.

NeroVision Express 3 is nice and friendly.

It was bundled free with my DVD burner, but you can probably buy it.

There really is no need to convert DivX and most XviD files, just get a DivX capable DVD player. Fairly inexpensive to get one. I don't regret my purchase.

Your right. I have the phillips DVP 642. It will play most divx file but not all, due to lack of Qpel support. I sure the
newer models prob. sorted this out. A friend of mine I thikn has an LG. His seemed to have no prob. playing any divx files.
I might look into getting that one.
