Great piece of software --- very easy to use, and reliable. I've had no problems running it under XP, Vista, or 7, and I've used Avi2Dvd well over a hundred times. The only issue I've ever had is that running under Windows 7, it reduces the screen color depth --- which reverts back to normal after you close the program. The reviewers here knocking Avi2Dvd perhaps are writing from Bellevue, or studied mathematics under Professor Forrest Gump.

DO not waste your time. Too complicated and I am surprised why such crappy software gets 5star ratings in your review....The only plus point is that it is free. There are a few other free good ones like DVDflick.

My experience with Avi2DVD was not good. It kept crashing despite installing it correctly. It refused to close when I had finished using it. It also refused to un-install from my computer and even after re-installing it I could not remove it.
Take my advice and STAY AWAY FROM THIS SOFTWARE! It's so full of bugs that it's not worth the trouble. ZERO OUT OF TEN.

horrible interface way to much configuration for the average Joe, will stay with ConvertXtoDVD, needs more flags on the interface.

Excellent missleading promotion. This software is a trap.

Registered reviewed v0.5 on Aug 21, 2009

a brilliant program, been around for a while, not updated as much as i wished it was, but there you go,

this program is solid, and more importantly works with a high quality Encoder (HCEnc) and of course supports old versions of CCE (although HCEnc is preferred for low bit rate conversions)

don't get me wrong, ConvertXToDVD is good, but it is a trans-coder (FFMpeg and libavcodec) like many, so quality would never for the forseable future come close to what HCEnc can produce, (i don't feel that trans-coding would ever be as clean, crisp and sharp as a full fledged high quality encoder (CCE, HCEnc, Tmpgenc)

Avi2Dvd interface i agree is very messy now, go back to when it first came out it was acceptable to the current standards, but not anymore, the flags are way to cheesy now, and the whole GUI in general looks very cartoony,
because of the old and quite unuser friendly GUI I'm only giving 4 points not the full 5, however it still has it where it counts, if only the horrible GUI didn't hinder the program so much.

my eye at the moment is on "AVStoDVD", this program is quite good aswell, and again utilizes the wonderful HCEncoder, not as resilient as Avi2DVD, but definitely won't be long considering the excellent support it's getting, and the GUI is of course up to the current standards with some nice soft colors,

but for quality, i choose AVStoDVD, but i always have Avi2DVD on standby just in case i need it,

Interface has too much going on in it, I'll stick to DVDFlick.

When I click on the GO button, this error message appears - AVI2DVD.EXE has stopped working, so therefore cannot get this program to work at all.

anomoly reviewed v0.4.4 Beta on May 2, 2007

Does not work with all aspect ratios, nor will it use 'normal' subs and therefore the sub option is worthless
Encoding is excellent when it does work.
TMPGEnc DVD Author (w/divx encoding) is much better but not free.

merlin666 reviewed v0.4.4 Beta on Nov 28, 2006

I tried it and it did not work. The log did not produce useful information about what went wrong. Are there other apps that can do this?

Grazer reviewed v0.4.4 Beta on Jul 10, 2006

Didn't work for the mkv I was trying to convert,
and fubared my codecs for playback.

Howell reviewed v0.4.4 Beta on Jun 7, 2006

Wonderfull freeware wich does what it says !

Maybe not the most efficient out there but one of the top freeware tools.

photonboy reviewed v0.4.4 Beta on Jun 6, 2006

I like Nero Vision, however it doesn't recognize MKV files.
For free, this program is amazing.

f3nwick reviewed v0.4.3 Beta on Jan 12, 2006

very slow at doing what it does. I have another program which is much better but i forget the name.

anomoly reviewed v0.4.3 Beta on Jan 2, 2006

About the only thing it's really good for is adding selectable subs. Other than that it cannot handle more than one avi, & there is no audio source option.

Howell reviewed v0.4.3 Beta on Dec 22, 2005

Wonderfull program ! The only one wich is efficient AND free !

1uk3 reviewed v0.42 Beta on Dec 8, 2005

Not the most pretty thing out there but does what it's supposed to do very well. Fantastic for freeware. There is nothing better!

photonboy reviewed v0.42 Beta on Nov 28, 2005

There aren't many good freeware alternatives, so this scores well in that range.

Why give this a low score? It's a shame that people keep giving ridiculously low scores because they get an error that obviously most others aren't. Look at all the other great reviews.
(It's kind of like the joke about the guy reporting all the people passing him going the wrong way down a one-way street.. )

christoofar reviewed v0.3.4 Beta on Oct 12, 2005

Perhaps you might want to direct your question to the programs' Forum? Sounds like a missing codec to me.

This converison tool works very well, is simple to set up & results using CCE are superb.

bdgold08 reviewed v0.3.2 Beta on Oct 11, 2005

anyone know why my program comes up with the error message of "AVISource: couldn't locate a decompressor for fourcc div3"

zee7 reviewed v0.3.2 Beta on Oct 5, 2005

Excellent, easy to use application. I just used it to rip a very poor quality file that I was on the verge of throwing away; AVi2Dvd rescued this hopeless mess when every other program I tried choked and gave up with an error message. The file wasn't perfect, but AVi2Dvd did smooth over the bumpy parts and allow it to keep playing. Well done! I just wish I would have tried it sooner.

korales reviewed v0.2.8 Beta on May 15, 2005

5 from me straight up. Has new tabbed interface, can handle batch jobs, the new free encoders work great, won't need the half of space it used to. It keeps getting better and better, nice job.

hkm reviewed v0.2.8 Beta on May 11, 2005

Very nice, freeware tool. For whatever reason, FileForum doesn't have the latest vers [currently, 0.28 beta]. To get that, or the most recent vers., go to the AVI2DVD homepage, at http://www.trustfm.net/divx/SoftwareAvi2Dvd.html

and look for the links saying "LATEST VERSION."

christoofar reviewed v0.2.7 Beta on May 1, 2005

Pretty aw-reet vid converter, can use a multitude of both free & payfor encoding engines.The screenshot is an older one here, now it also has a
"job queue" window,(for which I'm not sure I see the need).Handles subs well, and author is constantly working out bugs & adding improvements. Job well done!

agamen0n reviewed v0.2.6 Beta on Apr 24, 2005

Very good. This works fine to me, converted an avi movie without erros in the first time! :D

".. i can now back up all of my avi's to DVD."

Isn't it supposed be the other way around? ;)

Nice app, although the interface is a little cluttered.

patmc7 reviewed v0.2.5 Beta on Apr 20, 2005

I would like to see some feature for batch processing: for instance, being able to handle a directory of music videos. This program doesn't appear to have one.

Mpeg is used for DVD burning, so one doesn't need to convert it. Just use a burner like NERO. This program basically converts avi to mpeg so that it can be burned, so it would be a waste to convert them to AVI first.

jogygeorge reviewed v0.2.5 Beta on Apr 20, 2005

Wonder if someone can tell me if I could convert my mpeg to dvd with this wonderful tool. ... or would I have to convert them to avi first? Would that mean a loss in quality?

Crypton reviewed v0.2.5 Beta on Apr 20, 2005

Great free applications! Wish there were more free quality appz. I know a few, but not many that really give you commercial quality for free..

Excellent results with either CCE or the included freeware encoders. Simple to set up & run, the author respondes quickly to questions/problems.
And...FREEWARE!

i give 4 staer because of the potential of this software and the simple interface

but it don't work so great with editin subtitle to the movie

hope it will be good in the future

relaxo reviewed v0.1.1 on Feb 12, 2005

I downloaded this program for the sole puropose of encoding my mkv files to dvd. With the core AAC audio decoder installed, I got a floating point error when attempting to import the mkv. Withouth the AAC decoder installed, it won't pick up the audio stream and as a result it won't let me encode the video.

All in all Avi2Dvd is bug ridden but has great potential. Something to keep an eye on.
