hello everyone. Would it be possible to burn some ".avi" files I have onto a dvd using my computer?

My computer has 128Mb of RAM, and an AMD Duron 750 MHz processor. About 6Mb of the 10Mb hard disk is free. I am running Windows 2000 Professional. I have access to an external dvd burning drive.

Is is possible to burn a dvd using this hardware? Will it run any of the burning software that is out there?

I don't want to do anything fancy, just a very basic dvd.

Thank-you in advance for any replies :-)

Upgrade your RAM to 512MB first. With only 128MB, you'll probably run into buffer underruns.

First, there was Super Socket 7. Now, there's Super Socket 939.

More RAM. I believe you can do it on 128 but it will certainly take a while.

You need the third party software to burn AVI to DVD, I always use Aimersoft DVD Creator, it can easily convert all popular video formats (AVI, MP4, MPG, MPEG, 3GP, WMV, ASF, RM, RMVB, DAT, MOV, FLV, etc) to DVD and burn DVD movie played on portable and home DVD players, that's very good, you can check it out here for free:
