Are you Latin or German? - sandlog, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25"Mac Equivalent"
yes, just use toast.
i know for a fact toast 7 and 8 will convert divx to DVD just by selecting dvd-video from the type of disc you want to use and then dropping the divx files on the main big square.
it has to convert them, but it works.
and it will allow you to create a simple menu with thumbnail buttons.
i do this when my sister bugs me for movies. that i have in divx format. - iceeblue, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Burn baby burn
- maxtrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12This is a great program, but I would strongly recommend a networked Xbox with XBOX Media Center (XBMC). I don't think I could live without it now. But for those who can't, check this wonderful program out.
- madeingermany, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Is there a comparable solution for Linux?
On Windows I used to do all this using Nero, but a free (beer, speech) application is the nicer choice for me :) - Veloxi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Not if you want to share stuff with your friends. :)
- phlux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Great program - would burn with again! A++++
- sandlog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9cool but id rather burn 5-6 divx movies on a dvdr and watch them on my divx-capable dvd player.
afterall there are a ton out there now and mine was only $80 with hdmi upconverting. - Nocturnal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Or......... I prefer my modded XBox.
BTW, is there any quality lost when burning or converting to the DVD? - swankboy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12For the Mac I prefer the app "Burn". Free and more stable, but less feature rich than Toast or Popcorn.

It's not as easy to use as DVD Flick but I'm almost sure it provides more features and more reliability since it's based mainly on unix tools (which makes it freeware). You can find How To's and guides at the same homepage.
People that say you have to pay for good Mac Software dont have a clue of how to surf for it. - XSforMe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Get an Xbox, install XBMC, hook it up to your network and forget about burning DVDs.
- tc811, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I still find the Tonight Show entertaining, I don't see what's so bad about it.
- orientis, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Yeah vornan, you really stuck it to the fanboys.
Sheesh. - Willy99, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14Another option... much easier... is to try the new Phillips DVD player.... which plays most video formats native... ie.e no need to convert to DVD spec... it plays your avis, mpeg-1 or 2s, divx etc etc (see specs for details). Excellent machine, i got one for myself this christmas - cost - about $35 bucks. If your time is money... the no recompress option is a big big plus. It can take an hour or more to recompress a movie. yawn. Easier to just burn the files on a DVD R, +R, RW... or a CD-R. More info here.

- bud38, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9all the more reason to download them from a bit torrent or the mule.
- patricktu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6A playable DVD is one where you can load up into ANY DVD player. Like going over to your friends house and watching an episode of Lost. Not everyone has a DiVX player.
- JustinT9669, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Save all your time by using XBMC or a DivX Player.
- ecliptik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It's Windows only and the source is in VB 6, anyone know if it works with WINE on GNU/Linux or OSX?
- spookyttws, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5There's always a decrease in quality, but for me its not really noticeable. It's like comparing a DVD R5 to a retail DVD, the quality is slightly different, but unless you're looking at them side by side, you won't notice.
- BlueDawg5678, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5For the mac users wanting a video to DVD program VisualHub is AWESOME. It will take just about anything and convert it to just about anything including making DVDs
http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/ - stmiller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5K3B can do this. It can take any video source, and transcode it to a DVD, or also a VCD/SVCD I believe.
- eighttracks, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11Yea, and apparently this huge Mac fanbase is creating all kinds of wonderful free apps to make peoples life easier.
Oh, theres no mac version...
Dang, i must be an idiot for using a computer that the majority of people are writing apps for. - DoubtingThomas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5What?
FTFA:
"What makes DVD Flick special (aside from the fact that it's free) is that it handles all of the necessary transcoding of your AVI, MPG, MOV, and WMV files (among others) to MPEG-2..."
Yes, I am sure you read the article. - hansamurai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5XBMC revolutionized my living room. Now all I need is more hard drive space and time to build a central server.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6You got $40 bucks?
http://www.thetechgeek.com/content/product.php?pid=9604
and it has a usb port so you don't need to burn a disc. - dvddesign, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Way ahead of you cowboy...
Get a HDD and one of these and you don't need to burn porn DVD's anymore...

I bought this one about 1 1/2 years ago for $120 on sale with a $100 300 GB drive from Fry's.
http://cooldrives.com/portable-divx-player-35-hdd-usb2-mp3-mpeg4-avi.html
Plays divx, ISO, MPEG-1, MP4, MP3 and Jpeg. Nice interface with a remote, cheap, and far easier to setup than a MythTV box or TiVo. Let the torrents do the walking... - Philoushka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Looks great. Now I don't have to steal ConvertXToDVD ( http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/ )

I don't think that FFMPegx masters DVD VOB structure in a way that you can burn it right to a disc. The app I mentioned, and got dugg down for some reason, does. But, whatever. - Lucian0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Great program, I've been using it for a while and love it!
- Jay730, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Mac users try Handbreak http://handbrake.m0k.org/
- DarkAlchemist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Visual Basic 6? Eww.
- pat1006, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3A Linux solution would be DeVeDe: http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html It was mentioned on the Linux Link Tech Show podcast a few weeks ago.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I have the "legendary" Philips 642 DVD player. While it is convenient to quickly drop a few TV shows on an RW, it still has issues and drawbacks:
1. No chapter stops in Xvids/DivXs - therefore you are fast forwarding at like 8x. No resume either which sucks.
2. Not all Xvids/Divxs will play. Some choke it or show up in acid-trip mode.
3. No on-the-fly anamorphic compression for widescreen TVs.
4. Audio/Video sync drifts over time during playback.
5. Crap remote and crap interface.
And re: Nerovision. A very easy to use and surprisingly complete (albeit not pro-level) DVD tool that does indeed seem to convert lots of stuff with ease. But it's encoding quality leaves much to be desired. Comes nowhere near CinemaCraft Encoder - although much cheaper for the non-bootleggers folk. - BinaryFragger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I bought a Philips DVP642 about 2 years ago, and I highly recommend it. It's multi-region (open the tray and press 7 - 8 - 9 - OK - 0 to set it to region-free mode) and plays most DivX files. They're now in the $40-$50 dollar range.
- diecastbeatdown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i've recently switched to this, after wanting to do it for years but just never having the cash. that is the big deal here, the money. 170 is not easy to come by for most, but $10 for 50 blank dvds sure is easy to shell out.
i'm up to 850GB now, so i'm pretty happy.. but still that is only about 150 dvd quality movies if you are averaging 6gb per dvd (give or take dvd5/dvd9). but mostly i compress them all to 1800kbps mpeg4 movies that come out to about 1.8gb so that leaves me at a comfy 450 movies or so. using linux and LVM/NAS or whatever, you can simply shove in more hard drives then later start a new tower. - GutterBall1200, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That's the reason why i got XBMC. Saves me on blank DVD's that just end up getting tossed after watching them once
- 4815162342, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5digg because the screencaps are of Extras
- ellimist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4DVD Flick takes a VERY long time.
I am burning a 2 hour video (1.2 GB) to DVD (4.5 gb) with normal settings... it is finally on "Author DVD," but it has been over 5 hours now, according to the "Total Time Elapsed" counter.
It takes about 2 hours total to encode and burn a movie onto DVD with ConvertXtoDVD. This is ***** ridiculous. - dfunct, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@flernk
Try out visualhub, http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub - It'll let you do all sorts of nifty conversions including almost anything to DVD - and yes there is a demo so you can try before you buy! its like majic, but not - meshman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"Putting any old video file - like the DivX/Xvid-encoded videos you've downloaded with BitTorrent - onto a DVD to play on your TV can be a daunting task."
No, it's simple. It's car more simpler than this. Here:
- Go out and buy a Phillips 'play everything' DVD player. $50.
- Burn ANYTHING to a DVD-RW.
- Watch, enjoy.
I gave up on video conversion software. There's very few of them that will produce something where the sound is NOT out of sync with the video. So I said screw this, bought the above and have never had to convert anything since. Simple. - sideshowRAHEEM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Question any one know if there is a noticeable quality difference between using a program like this to re-encode a divx or xvid to MPEG-2 format or just burning a DVD image .img or .iso to disk.
- LucasKane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Except that some don't do the newest xvid and don't have a firmware upgrade to rectify that
