Hey what's good?
I need some help, I have a 6 GIG or more video .avi file that I need to compress so it can fit on a 4.7 DVD. I would like to keep the quality as much as I can. What do I do?

If you are looking to make a DVD that is playable in DVD players, with or without menus, it must be converted to MPEG-2 format. The process is actually called "encoding"

This page has a sort of step by step outline of the process, including links to some freeware that will help.

For encoding TMPGEnc XPress is a neat little product -- not too expensive, but there are many more in higher price range.
