Every time I burn a DVD from a movie on my computer, it comes out Audio/Video TS file. Auuggghh! Why can't it just burn AVI or something readable?
I've tried different programs with same results. Is there a guide for someone like me who obviously doesn't get it?

I'm not sure from what "point" you are starting so here are the option I guess might answer your question:If you already have an AVI file and want to burn it to a DVD you simply have to burn it as a "Data Disc" like you would do for all kinds of files (Word, Excel, PDF...).If you have a DVD and want it in AVI format (on your computer or on a DVD) you will first have to rip it! My personal favourite for doing this would be HandBrake.http://handbrake.fr/If you have an Video_TS folder on your computer and want an AVI file you will have to convert it for example using avi.NEThttp://www.clonead.co.uk/

Huummm...interesting. I have both. I don't think I could do either. I'll look at Adobe Premeire Elements. Thanks, Cheryl

Let me know how it works out for you. There are a variety of ways to do one thing, so you may find something easier than what I've shared with you.

Hi, Cheryl. DVDs burn with the MPEG2 format, and when opened on a computer, you cannot open the actual video file unless you have certain software that can read it. It's been a while since I've tried pulling video from a DVD, but I have before.What I have used in the past is Adobe Premiere Elements, a pretty easy-to-use video software. It would let me import the DVD files and edit them (if I did not have the original source). As a matter of fact, you can convert the file to AVI if you are using a Windows PC.Are you just trying to convert home movies? Movie distribution companies typically will find a way to protect their DVDs from any file-ripping, so if you are trying to do that, you might have some trouble.
