Convert from disk to avi. Three free DVD converters for converting discs to mp4 format
Store DVDs with important information, be it your children’s holidays, or a birthday, this is not a very competent approach. The disc may become damaged, scratched, and eventually the video will no longer be viewable.
So I thought about this, storing a video archive on a hard drive is much more convenient than on optical discs.
I already have the following programs installed on my system: Any Video Converter, and Freemake Video Converter. Using the program data, I decided to convert the DVD disc into a standard format for a computer: avi, or mpeg4. I have already described these programs, so I did not look for other applications, especially since these two are completely free.
Free Make Video Converter
After installing this program, run it and press the DVD button.If the program was able to open the DVD disc, you are lucky, if not, like me, then we need to add a folder named "Video_TS" to the program.
Now select the outgoing video format. To do this, I selected the MP4 format at the very bottom. Optional, original file you can save without sound, or vice versa do with best quality. You can specify the screen resolution or its format.
Well, that’s basically it, after the conversion is complete, Free Make Video Converter will show the duration of the conversion. The videos will be saved one at a time without connecting, so I didn’t really like this program. Moreover, the conversion took as much as 3 hours, and this is only 1.5 videos. Sorry, I'm overworked. It turned out that this software also supports merging files, but it’s too late, keep in mind.
Any Video Convert
I decided to use this program a second time, but the video for conversion remained the same.There is no such button as DVD, we need to manually add TC files to the shell. To do this, click the “Add Files” button and immediately enable the “Combine Files” function.
By right side program you choose the quality of the outgoing video. For myself, I chose a resolution of 720x480, and left the other parameters at default. But the program allows you to select videos for specific device, be it a mobile phone or something else.
The next step is needed to perform the conversion itself, just click the “Convert” button, now we just have to wait a little and find out what we get as a result.
Auto Gordian Knot
This program turned out to be even easier to use than the previous two, since you only need to select the very first file from the DVD disc, and the rest of the application will do you.How to convert?
1. Select a file on disk.
2. Specify the size of the source file. I prefer to use video quality. For example 85%. The lower the quality, the smaller size file.
3. Click the Add Job button
4. Wait until the program completes the conversion
When finished, a 1.3 GIG file was created. The video itself is 1.30 hours long. The conversion speed was only 1 hour 28 minutes, much better than 3 hours.
I think we can finish here. All three programs proposed in the article are distributed completely free of charge.

Why might you need to convert AVI to DVD? Imagine that you want to burn a DVD, but your source file is in AVI format. It is quite often used to reduce the size of videos. In this case, a convenient DVD to AVI converter can help. Wherein? By downloading "VideoMASTER" once, you can convert video and audio files into the most popular formats. This is very convenient for storing, transmitting and recording various audio and video materials.
We offer a video tutorial about AVI conversion to DVD format:
To convert AVI to DVD, you need to follow several steps. Step-by-step instruction below will help you with this.
Step 1. Download the VideoMASTER converter
To start working on converting formats and recording them, you need to install VideoMASTER on your PC. In order to download a DVD to AVI converter or any other popular format it will take no more than 5 minutes. Please note that download speed depends on the speed of your Internet connection. After downloading, install the program by running boot file. Don't forget to pin the shortcut to your desktop for ease of use.
Step 2. Load the video into the program
On PC, select AVI video files to convert to DVD format. To do this, click the button "Add", which is located on the left sidebar. The program provides the ability to download both single files and entire folders with videos. The software freely reads any formats, including AVI, and processes data at high speed.
Add files for work
Step 3. How to Convert AVI to DVD?
Open the writer DVD drive on your PC and insert a blank DVD. In the lower right corner click on the button "Burn DVD". After this you need to select DVD menu type. The program allows you to edit the menu to your liking. You can add text and pictures, and change the background background.
A nice bonus is the ability to add music and select the duration of the menu display. The created menu can be saved as a template for later use. Why create a DVD menu? You can quickly and conveniently get to the desired video file on the disk. After preparing the menu, you must press the button "Further".
Select DVD Menu Type
The next step is to choose disk and folder for recording. There are two options here:
- Convert AVI to DVD and burn the disc at the same time. To go this route, check the box next to “Burn to disk.”
- Create a DVD folder and ISO image for deferred DVD recording using Windows tools.
Select the drive and folder to burn DVD
After that, set the DVD burning settings. Here you will need to decide DVD standard, and set the required quality level for the video you record. After setting all parameters, click the button "Further". Immediately after this, the program will start the conversion procedure. Creating a video takes a little time. The recording speed depends on the size of the files that you transferred to the program for conversion.
What if you store discs without converting?
However, owners of large hard drives prefer to burn DVD contents to hard disks without changes, but more often only because they contain some kind of anthology or series - there is no point in dividing them into files. In this case, it is enough just to rewrite the disk in separate folder and be sure to give it a name - all folders on the DVD have the same names, so it’s easy to get confused. By the way, even this process is not so simple, and we will explain why later.
If you managed to rewrite the files, then there are no more questions, and the quality of the film is usually such that it is easy to even display it on wide screen TV. But full-fledged discs are not suitable as material for recording “for a long trip” - smartphones and tablets only accept files, and even with reduced quality, so you have to think with less energy and time.
Principles and subtleties of conversion
Files stored on DVDs have several extensions, the most important being VOB. The rest store service data, including the disc screensaver, menus, content with quick transitions, etc. Generally speaking, VOB files can be copied separately to a directory and run with any player. The disk often contains several VOB files, divided according to the “gigabyte per part” principle. When played, they move one into another according to file numbers. If there are several films, then this can be seen by the same numbers. When choosing one desired film from several, remember the number of its initial series.
A VOB file is encoded in MPEG2 format, usually with high resolution. But this is not enough - often licensed discs are copy protected, so copying files directly may not work. To copy you need to use special utilities, capable of filming different kinds protection
But then it’s easier. Any video file is a container in which video and audio streams are stored. Each of them can be isolated and recorded separately, as well as processed into a different format. It should be noted that miracles do not happen in nature. Having set a goal, how to convert DVD to AVI without losing quality– quality will be lost, both for video and audio. You need to come to terms with this.
Next, using any of the utilities described below, you select the AVI output format. AVI is, figuratively speaking, also a container, and streams inside can be stored in any type of compression. For this purpose, special codec filters or compressors are used. They are called filters or splitters because the utility can use several filters simultaneously during the conversion process, installing them according to the principle of “merging pipes” - one filter performs exactly one operation, then the flow goes to another filter. A splitter can divide a stream into substreams - for example, converting multi-channel audio into stereo or quad.
The main task of video filters is to obtain an image of the next frame, unpack it into its original form and compress it again using its own algorithm. In this case, the rule for creating key and intermediate frames is observed. IN general settings It is important to observe the bitrate, that is, the speed of playback of frames per second - it is expressed in kilobits. The bitrate directly depends on the film itself - how many fast or slow scenes it contains. If the movie is “slow”, then LowMotion codecs are selected, otherwise FastMotion. In practice, their confusion can lead to the picture scattering into squares during fast scenes. Synchronization of audio and video is also important, since they are converted separately and then may not be mixed. The final film requires previewing and adjusting the sound to the video - synchronization intervals are set.
Why did you need to know this?
Yes, simply because video conversion used to be done this way - manually, in separate phases. Nowadays, many utilities try to do all this automatically, but most often it turns out very poor quality film. But there are a sea of such utilities, and omnivorous ones at that. If their quality satisfies you, then please:
The common problem with all automatic converters is the lack of settings - sometimes you have to put up with unclear problems: sound escape, strange bands, uncut edges of frames, other people's logos, inability to select soundtrack etc. Would like to note latest utility– VirtualDub – this utility is an exception to the rule: it can do with AVI file anything. But only on last stage encoding, since it does not process VOB files.
Without leaving the Internet
If you don’t want to tinker with programs, looking for errors in them, you can search, how to convert DVD to AVI online– many services are now moving to the Internet. Take a look, for example, here - www.convertfiles.com/convert/video/VOB-to-AVI.html - nothing complicated. Specify the file name, output formats are automatically selected. The result depends only on luck and the qualifications of the service’s programmers. Another similar resource is www.zamzar.com/convert/vob-to-avi. You can also find Russian resources, choosing how to convert dvd to avi online, but there is too much pathos on them, and the quality is mostly average.
Online services, as a rule, provide even fewer customization options than stand-alone utilities. And the processing speed also leaves much to be desired, because even in best case scenario The conversion time for the film will be proportional to its duration. We wish you successful searches! And this - to make it easier to search - www.3dnews.ru/download/multimedia.
There are many programs on the Internet that can be used to convert the contents of DVD discs to other formats. So, how to convert DVD to AVI?

However, often the average user no longer needs flexibility of settings, but ease of use of the program.

Then you need to specify the address of the folder in which the reformatted file will be stored. Next, you need to determine the desired format and its profile, which is a set of settings. Next, click the “Convert” button and wait until the process is completed.
It's simple but effective software, which allows you to receive files in AVI and MP4 formats, which are suitable for playback on smartphones, tablets and game consoles.
