To select a video you would like to convert hit the Browse... button next to the Input File Name field. In the opened Windows Explorer Window browse for the necessary DVD folder:

Note: when your input is a DVD Disc, you will need to select the path to your source file: X:\Video_TS\Video_TS.IFO. "X" stands for your DVD-ROM or the hard disk drive folder where your DVD is stored:

It is important to select the IFO file, rather than VOB 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. Also, most DVDs have several VOB files (files with actual video)and if you convert VOBs instead of IFO, you will have to merge them afterwards, which is not the case with the IFO files.

Insert a blank CD into your computer optical disc drive. Make sure that the disc is compatible with your drive.
Locate your resulting video on your computer hard disk drive. Remember that its location has been selected at Step 4. Use the RIGHT mouse button and select "Send To" – "AVS Video Burner" to start the burning application:

AVS Video Burner application will be launched to guide you through the burning process so that you could record your converted video onto a disc.

You can select the necessary disc drive if you have several, refresh it and mark the Verify disc check-box to make sure the disc is recorded correctly.

Now click the Start burning! button to begin the recording. Note, that if the disc is not empty you will be offered to erase it. If you do not want to do that, you can eject the disc and use another one instead.

After the burning is over the disc will be ejected automatically. Note, if you checked the Verify disc, the recording will take a little longer depending on the size of the output files as the program will need time to verify them.

Your MPEG4 compatible CD is ready!
