How to Burn AVI to DVD, VCD, SVCD and MPEG with Cucusoft Converter Pro

What you need

• Software: Cucusoft AVI to DVD VCD SVCD MPEG Converter Pro installed.
• Files: AVI (or other) video files.
• Media: Blank DVD, VCD, or SVCD discs (or folder/ISO for DVD).
• Hardware: DVD/CD burner and sufficient disk space.

Steps — convert and burn

1. Launch the program.
2. Add files: Click “Add” or drag AVI files into the source list.
3. Choose output format:
   • For DVD: select “DVD” (NTSC or PAL) and pick resolution (usually 720×480 NTSC, 720×576 PAL).
   • For VCD: select “VCD” (usually 352×240 NTSC, 352×288 PAL).
   • For SVCD: select “SVCD” (480×480 NTSC or 480×576 PAL) or the program’s SVCD option.
   • For MPEG: choose MPEG-1/MPEG-2 output as available.
4. Set encoding options: Adjust bitrate (higher = better quality, larger size), frame rate, and aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9). Use default settings for general use.
5. Create menus (DVD only): If desired, open the DVD authoring/menu tab, select a template, and set chapter points.
6. Preview: Use the preview window to check video and audio sync.
7. Start conversion: Click “Convert” or “Start” to encode files to the chosen format. Conversion time depends on file size and CPU.
8. Burn to disc or save image:
   • To burn directly: choose “Burn” and select your burner drive, write speed (slower speeds reduce errors), and start burning.
   • To create an ISO/folder: output to a VIDEO_TS (DVD) or MPEG/VCD/SVCD folder, then burn later with a disc-burning app if preferred.
9. Verify: After burning, verify disc readability in a player or computer.

Tips for best results

• Choose correct TV standard (NTSC/PAL) for your region or target player.
• Lower bitrate if you need to fit more video on a disc; keep visual quality acceptable.
• Use two-pass encoding if available for better quality at a target filesize.
• Burn at 4×–8× for DVDs on modern burners to reduce errors.
• Test one short clip first to confirm settings before burning a full disc.
