There are situations that are inevitable. For instance you have a movie file that is stored in the hard drive. It is in AVI format and you wanted to burn it in a disc and watch in a DVD player. It is also the same concern with digital camcorders. You can easily burn these AVI format files into CD or DVD and watch it on computers. However, the problem arises if you have no computer, and the available player is the standard DVD player. Below are some useful methods in converting AVI format files to DVD.

1. Look for DVD conversion software that functions well. Some of the available DVD conversions may be easy for you to manage, others may not. The most practical way to choose what DVD conversion is best for you is to download various evaluation copies and try them all. If there is software that has no evaluation program, consider it to the least of your priority. Later, if you have chosen the software that works well with you, that will be the time to buy it online.
2. Searching online, here are some of the DVD converter titles: Magix, Nero, Adobe premier, Roxio easy Media Creator and Pinnacle. You can also get some recommendation among friends and fellow workers.
3. Look for DVD converters that have video editing features. A good video converter will not just let you open up and drag these media files to a timeline to create a movie, but let you overlap elements, trim them, do other transition effects, adjust sound levels and add chapter marks, so you can easily jump to the desired chapter just like the commercial DVD sold in the market.
4. In choosing a DVD converter, consider the following: features, ease of use and price.  The converter you will be choosing must have the minimum features you need for your movie editing. Also, it must not be too complex for you not to undergo difficulty in learning. And lastly, if this your first attempt to burn a video, choose a converter of less price because you just don’t know how frequent you will be using the program.
5. A simple reminder: Some video converter programs functions poorly in keeping synchronization of picture and sound. It may have a good start but later as large number elements have been joined together, you will notice a delay between the sound and a picture. As a result, you movie will look like it was a dubbed foreign movie.
