Converting DVD to AVI - Using Movavi Videosuite Trial 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.

AVI files are probably the most common type of movie file that exists for storing large movie files. They are so common that many DVD player manufacturers include support for them, so you can play them on your TV (if you have the right buring software).

An excellent piece of software developed my Movavi to do this kind of thing is the Movavi Videosuite. It can actually do much more than just convert DVD to AVI files (it can also burn, and edit movies and more). It is a complete video editing tool that is used personally as well as professionally by thousands of people.

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 the output format for the movie. You will probably want that to be AVI in DivX or Xvid format.

4. Select a proper video output path for the file you are saving to your computer.

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

Using this method you can store your DVDs in a small amount of space. If you want you can even burn them back to another DVD and store up to 4 or 5 movies on a single DVD!

Of course, remember to only make backup copies of DVDs that you rightfully own.
