408738 2005-11-29 20:41:00 Anyone know of a freeware program to do this? I have an avi file which I would like to view on my old dvd player and am told I need to convert to MPEG2 before burning onto a dvd to play. user (1404)
408739 2005-11-29 21:54:00 As MPEG2 is a licensed format, you will not find any freeware conversion programs. Miami Steve (2128)
408740 2005-11-29 22:33:00 Use this guide (www.afterdawn.com) to convert your AVI into a DVD.

It worked with a DVD I made.
Just remember to use the 4:3 ratio

Cheers, Jeff.
