To burn DVD/VCD/SVCD you have to convert your video file to a format needed for VCD (MPEG-1), SVCD (MPEG-2) or DVD (VOB) creation:

1. Press To DVD button on the Main Toolbar to select the necessary DVD format or To MPEG to select the necessary VCD/SVCD format
2. Enter Input File Name
3. Enter Output File Name
4. Select VCD/SVCD/DVD format.
5. Click the Edit button to add the necessary effects
6. Preview Input and Output File properties in the Advanced Settings to make sure that the result will satisfy your needs
7. Press the Convert Now! button
8. If the output file is too big the disk selection window will open:

If you have a double-layer disk you might want to record your movie onto it. In this case choose Double-layer DVD disc option and click OK. If your file is still too big to fit a single double-layer disc you might use an option to Shrink to 1 disc or Split to 2 (or more) discs. In the first case the video will be converted with reduced quality so that it could fit a single disc. You should check if the quality is enough for you before you burn the movie onto a disc.

If your DVD drive does not support double-layer DVD discs you have an option to record your resulting movie onto one or several single-layer discs. To do that select Standard DVD disc and choose the variant of your DVD recording: either Split to 2 or more discs or Shrink the file to fit it onto one DVD disc.

Note: in this case the quality might be dramatically reduced, so you should playback the resulting file prior to burning your compilation onto a DVD.

Note: you need a DVD-RW drive supporting double-layer DVD discs to be able to record them. See your DVD drive manual to find that out.

After that AVS Video Converter will convert your input file to a format needed for creation DVD/VCD/SVCD depending on chosen DVD/VCD/SVCD format. We'd like to draw your attention to the following: creating DVD you should not set output file name, just select the folder where the folders containing files needed for DVD creation will be located. These folders will be named as VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS.

Note: in case you create VCD or SVCD and the output file size is over 700 Mb, it will be splitted into several files, each of them under 700 Mb size. It's necessary to write them to several CDs. You should also have at least 700 Mb free space at your hard drive after file conversion for disc image creation. In case you choose the Standard DVD disc and Split to 2 (or more) discs option to create DVD and the output file size is over 4,3 Gb, it will be splitted into several files, each of them under 4,3 Gb size. It's necessary to write them to several DVDs.

Note: each of them will have it's own DVD menu.

After that the disc will be recorded using the internal program burning engine.
