| How can I make an MPEG 4 compatible CD (DivX or XviD) |
| |
| Step 1. Download AVS Video Converter |
| You can try out the Windows-only Video Converter for free, but a watermark will appear throughout your video. If you're serious about converting video, purchase the program for US$39.95; the variety of supported file formats makes it worth it. |
| |
| Step 2. Launch AVS Video Converter |
 |
|
Start > All Programs > AVS Media > AVS Video Tools > AVS Video Converter |
| |
| Step 3. Select Output File Type |
 |
|
Click the To AVI or To DVD or To MP4 or To 3GP or To MOV or To WMV or To RM or To SWF button along the top of the interface. |
| |
| Step 4. Choose Input Video File(s) or DVD |
 |
|
Click the uppermost Browse button on the right. Navigate to the location where you keep your video files or DVDs, and select the video that you would like to convert and burn to CD. Click Open.
Note: AVS Video Convert is a batch converter. So you can open several video files (even of different formats) at once. During conversion the files will be joined together one by one.
Use arrows under the Browse button to change the files order.
Note: When your input is a DVD, it is important to select the IFO file, rather than VOB or VRO file, because the IFO file contains the information about the entire DVD structure and this way you will avoid audio and video de-synch problems when converting. |
| |
| Step 5. Select the Output Location |
 |
|
Click the bottom Browse button on the right. Choose the location on the hard disc drive where you would like to store a temporary DivX or XviD video file. Click Save.
Note: Do not set a DVD/CD drive as an output location!!! |
| |
| Step 6. Select the Output Format Profile |
 |
|
In the list of Profiles select one of the available profiles.
For this task you have to use one of these profiles:
Video: DivX; Audio: MP3 - 192 kbps;
Video: MPEG 4 - 1600 kbps (DivX, XviD);
Video: MPEG 4 - 1200 kbps (DivX, XviD);
Video: MPEG 4 - 700 kbps (DivX, XviD).
You can also click Edit Profile button to manually set the iPod profile parameters.
Note: The higher bitrate the bigger will be output files. |
| |
| Step 7. Convert Video |
 |
|
Click Convert Now and step away from the computer (processor performance will be seriously affected during conversion). If you want to watch the progress while you convert, click the Advanced button until the viewing screen pops out of the bottom. |
| |
| Step 8. Burn DVD |
 |
|
Close AVS Video Converter. Open the folder with just created AVI file. Right mouse click on this file. Next follow "Send To" > AVS Video Burner.
A satellite tool AVS Video Burner will be launched. Insert a blank CD media. Select CD/DVD burner from the list (if you have more than one). And click Start burning!
That’s all! In about half an hour you will have an MPEG 4 CD ready for your home DVD player with the DivX/XviD support. |
