Convert AVI files to IFO

Hi there!

I've recently been having trouble burning DVD+Rs with Nero and started
experimenting with other software. However I'm finding the best way to get
a disc that works on my home DVD player is to convert the AVI files to an
ISO file. Can anyone suggest the best software to use?

Thanks in advance for your help...

UltraISO is what I use.

Indeed ImgBurn is a well liked program from a reliable
programmer.

While the replies so far address programs for burning ISO
disk images onto a blank DVD, some of the other implications
of the original post give me some pause.

"the best way to get a disc that works on my home DVD player"

Now that could mean that he wants to make authored DVDs, or
it could be that he has a DVD player that plays data files.

"convert the AVI files to an ISO file"

That raises a few questions as well. Does he really mean
that he is making a data disk with .avi files on it. Or is he
using a program that converts the .avi files into DVD
compliant MPEG then authors a minimal video DVD, and
just has producing an ISO file of its output as an option.
Converting an AVI audio/video file into an ISO disk image
file makes no sense.

Luck;

I am still using the "combo", old but reliable,
DVD Decrypter & DVD Shrink (for "bought" DVD's) and
Divx ToDVD & CopyToDVD for d'loaded Divx/.avi/.mpeg's.
Slow maybe but just fine. I was also wondering about the "iso" file
bit.
I mis-read that part. :-(

I know. Doesn't make any sense to me either. But since Nero went belly up
or my DVD player's on the blink OR I'm using a bad batch of DVD+Rs the only
way I can play DVDs on my player is when I convert from an ISO file.

It's got me stumped too!
