Guide: Convert DivX, Xvid, AVI, WMV, MPEG, etc. to DVD

1. Free download ConvertXtoDVD, install and run.

Tip: The software supports many different languages, including English, Finnish, Dutch, French, German, Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, etc. You can select your native language by clicking “Settings -> Language”.

2. Find “File -> Add Video File” to add the files you want to convert.

Menu: You can customize background image, set title font and item font, rename “My DVD” title to whatever you like, etc. From the “Video Preview” window, you will immediately see the effects you are setting.

Add Subtitles: You can add separate subtitles on your DVD video, please right click on “subtitle (0 streaming)” and choose “Add Subtitle Channel”. The program supports STR subtitles and SUB and IDX combination. If you can’t add subtitles successfully, please check if your subtitle file and video file are in the same folder and give them exactly the same name keeping only the extension. For example, in the “My Movies” folder, there are cartoon.avi and cartoon.srt.

Add Chapters – You can also add a custom chapter point by right-clicking on “Chapter (0 entries)” and selecting “Add Chapter”.

Change Menu Text: Double-click “Menu Text” to change the name.

3. Click the “Convert” button to start the conversion.

4. You need to use “Burn Result to DVD” option to burn the DVD or burn it manually. Select “Action -> Burn DVD”, choose the VIDEO_TS folder in your working directory. Insert a blank DVD+R(W) or DVD-R(W) into your drive and recording should start automatically in 15 seconds.

Done! So easy to convert and burn video files to DVD.

  • More optional settings before converting
  • Set the working directory: Find “Settings -> General” to set where the ready-to-burn DVD files will be placed.

    Set NTSC and PAL mode: If “Video Standard” is set to “Auto” in the “TV Format” tab, ConvertXtoDVD will apply the same standard according to your source file. If your source file’s frame rate is 23,976 or 29,700, it’s NTSC. And if it’s 25.00, it’s PAL. If you want all your burned DVDs to be PAL or NTSC, just create one as the default video standard.

    Set Full Screen and Wide Screen: Click “Settings -> TV Format” and set “TV Display” to “Auto”, “4:3” or “16:9”.

    Burn DVD directly: If you want to burn DVD immediately after conversion, please check “Burn result to DVD” in “Burn” tab. Here, you can also set a slower recording speed to avoid those annoying errors that are common when recording faster.

    Quality and speed: In the “Encoding” tab, if you want the video and audio quality of your burned DVDs to be as high as possible, select “High quality / Slow encoding” in “Encoding quality / speed”. In fact, the conversion speed is not slow at all. Of course, if you think speed is the most important factor, use the “Low quality / slow encoding” option.

    Burn to DVD9 (8.7 GB) or DVD5 (4.3 GB): As usual, keep the default “DVD-5” unchanged. If you have a lot of video files to convert or the videos are very long, please choose “DVD-9” in “Target Size” in “Encoding” tab. Note: A DVD5 disc can store more than 2 hours of converted video with high quality.
