DVD to AVI Conversion - Movavi Videosuite Coupon

by Luke Richards

There are many programs out there that can convert DVDs to .avi files. Avi files are single files easily stored on your computer that can contain an entire movie, at low file size but high quality using a Divx or Xvid format usually.

They are the most common file that movies are stored in on computers. So common, in fact, that many DVD players can actually play them now, so you can backup DVDs to your computer, then burn them again to a DVD-Recordable disk and play them on your TV (if you have the right software).

A great and popular piece of software that can do all of this and much more (including video editing, burning…) is Movavi Videosuite. It is a fully-featured video editing product that is used by beginners and professionals alike.

Several simple steps is all it takes to convert your DVD to an Avi file on your computer:

  1. Run Movavi Videosuite, click the ' DVD' button and choose 'Add DVD' to backup the entire disc. Browse the disc for the biggest IFO or VOB files, which are typically the movie files.

  2. Select an audio track for the DVD you want to convert (get the correct language…)

  3. Choose format for output (AVI is best)

  4. Select the place on your hard drive to save the movie after conversion.

  5. Click convert to begin the DVD to AVI conversion.

You can use this method to store many DVDs on one disk if you like. DVDs are converted down to as little as 1/4 or 1/5 their original size but still maintain good quality, so you can reburn 4 or 5 movies to a single DVD-R disc and store more movies on less disks.

Only backup movies that you are allowed to back up! Those are movies that you have originally purchased to watch. You are allowed to keep a single backup copy if something happens to the original.
