Toast. Toast does it all. You're not actually burning an avi to a dvd, but taking the video from the avi and converting it to a form that a dvd player understands.
Toast does have an option to fit the video files to a single DVD - I have never tried it. In your case by trying to keep the files at 1/4 of their size you will loose a large amount of information, so the picture quality will be greatly diminshed, but Toast may be able to do it for you.
is someone able to tell me what i have to do to compress the avi files on toast and then be able to burn 3 or 4movies max on a dvd using toast as well - TIA
I don't know why you'd want "3 or 4 movies" on a single DVD anyway, the quality will be crap! Unless, of course, your DVD player is DivX-compatible, and can actually read the AVI file as it is, in which case just go into the Finder, and click File -> New Burn Folder, chuck your "3 or 4" AVIs in, and click burn!
This is the only way it could've worked for you last time, coz honestly, 3 movies on a DVD would look awful, even if you can figure out how to do it...
The quality DEFINITELY AINT CRAP! - Ive tried that and it doesnt work!
If you read my previous posts this is the first time im trying to do it on a Mac - I normally do all of this on an XP and it worked fine.
Honestly you dont know what youre talking about - 3or4 movies on a DVD does not look awful at all - do you think i would still do it if that was the case???
Never mind next time if you dont have anything nice or constructive to say then dont bother:-)
Bloody hell upryz, I was just trying to help, and explain that you must have done it another way on XP, or perhaps your DVD player is DivX-compatible, because as Fossie said and I'm sure others can attest to, the quality of 4 movies squeezed onto a DVD would be rubbish. Otherwise don't you think movie studios would put all their special features on the same DVD as the movie, rather than producing two separate discs? There's a reason they do that. It's called quality.
