FOAK: BitTorrents/AVI to DVD

I find myself out of my depth yet again . . . . . .

Ta very muchley for the BitTorrents heads up - excellent! All working in
that department and totally abusing BT bandwidth.

So far so good.

Trying to convert and write the avi files to DVD is another matter - I
always get to around 90 to 98% through the conversion process and my machine
freezes.

I'm running a 1.6 processor & 256 mb ram, loads of HD space - would I be
right in assuming this isn't enough for the job? Would additional ram solve
the problem or is it time for an upgrade, which I don't really want or need
(skint), as this appears to be the only thing I can't do.

You could buy the DVD - much cheaper than a new PC...

 

You could just buy a DVD player that will play divx files.

I know I know - takes the fun out of it does it not?

 

Nope.
Being able to fill a DVD with half a dozen films as avi files is quite
satisfying

Try as I might I can't disagree with you there.

 

Thanks - should keep me occupied for a bit!

 

Or buy a DVD player which plays AVIs. I just bought a Philips something
for about 40 quid which plays .MPG, DivX and Xvid, as well as
conventional DVDs of course.

 

yer could get a TV out vid card and plug it into the telly...allowing
you to play movies with the computer and see them on the telly
then there is no conversion neccessary
