AVS Video Converter enables you to burn a DVD movie to playback in your home DVD player. While creating a DVD you might need to split it into chapters for more convenience. Dividing into chapters lets you easily find the necessary video file or part of the movie.
First you select the input file or several files. Then you set markers, which enable the player to discover chapters.

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

Note: when your input is a DVD Disc or a DVD folder on your HDD, 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. This way you will avoid audio and video de-synch problems when converting.
