Why converting avi formats to dvd formats.
A nice solution for all the time.
Get a standalone dvd player with :
-
divx 3.11/4.x/5.x/6.x/divx-pro
-
xvid 1.x
-
optional bivx (mpeg-4 720x480 @ 30 fps)
-
support subtitle format .srt or/and .sub (not often used)
-
Dolby didgital 5.1
-
DTS 5.1
-
with a decoder or without a decoder when you have a seperate digital amplifier (coax connection from the standalone dvd player)
Burn a DVD disc with 6 movies each of +/- 700 MB + .srt subtitles.
The sound is dolby digital 2.0 (stereo) pcm in many cases or you must have a film who is split in 2 avi parts files then you can get a dolby digital 5.1 audio track for example recent films "cloverfield xvid-devise" and "the bank job xvid-trg".
But in many cases the sound is Dolby surround/pro logic 4.0 - left and right, center, and a single limited frequency-range mono rear channel.
But still a great sound !.
Troubleshooting :
When you have a movie its freezes in the beginning or in the middle or the sound is a little bit out of sync.
There is a program i use its called "avidemux 2.4 (freeware)" it detects automatically the used audio format for example : MP3 it will unpack it and sync it with the movie, then save the new movie format as .avi format. Burn it on a DVD+/-RW or CD-r/rw and see the result !
2 years ago i used winavi, santa and other good programs but its time consuming. I have now around 70 DVD's with each 6 movies or 3 movies when the are 2 parts each with subtitles. All are working perfect on my DVD player in combination with my LCD television.
Pricewatch :
A standalone dvd player costs around €40,-- euro to €150,--. You can go for A-brand such as sony, philips etc. but you can go for other brands who play region free in the most cases for example easy touch, peekton.
I have a easy touch bought 2 years ago.
When you are consindering to buy a dvd player go with a burned CD and DVD discs with avi movie + subtitles and check it in the store on a big LCD screen for example ! Thats the best way !.
