To select a video you would like to convert hit the Browse...
button next to the Input File Name field. In the opened Windows
Explorer Window browse for the necessary DVD folder:
Note: when your input is a DVD Disc, you will need to select
the path to your source file: X:\Video_TS\Video_TS.IFO. "X" stands for your
DVD-ROM or the hard disk drive folder where your DVD is stored:
It is usually safe to select the IFO file, rather than VOB
file, because the IFO file contains the information about the entire DVD
structure and this way you will avoid audio and video de-synch problems when
converting. Also, most DVDs have several VOB files (files with actual video) and
if you convert VOBs instead of IFO, you will have to merge them afterwards,
which is not the case with the IFO files.
After you have selected the VIDEO_TS.IFO file click the Advanced >>
button. Normally the program will select the longest DVD title that usually
corresponds to the main movie on the disc. You can check that clicking the
drop-down arrow near the Video -> Track box:
If you prefer to convert files that are located on your hard disk drive, please
make sure that you copy not only VOB files, but IFO files as well.

In case you convert your files into a DVD format, the program will let you
create a DVD menu so that you could navigate through your disc easily using it.
First of all you need to put the markers indicating the beginning of the
chapters of your DVD menu. To do it switch into the editing mode using the
Edit button on the AVS Video Converter main panel. The following
window will be opened:
To add markers place the mouse cursor within the Timeline where a chapter
should start and click the Add button located at the Markers Panel.
If you want to delete some markers select the necessary one clicking it with the
mouse. Then use the Remove button from the Markers Panel or right
click this marker and select Remove from the express menu. To delete all
markers use the Clear All button.
After all the markers are added click the Ok button to save the changes
you have made and close the Edit Input File(s) window. After that you can
start editing your DVD Menu.
Click the Menu button on the AVS Video Converter main panel.
Here you can select one of the existing presets for your menu or create one of
your own using the Change Background button and choosing the appropriate
option.
When you add the DVD menu chapters you can use the Remote Control Emulator
to see if the place for the marker is correct. The added marker will be shown on
the Timeline as a green (inactive marker) or red (active marker) rhombus.
You can move the marker by dragging it along the Timeline, add a new one
or delete them using the appropriate button.
After you add all the chapters and when you are satisfied with the result, close
the Menu window and start converting your video.

After you have set up all the conversion parameters, hit the Convert
Now! button to start converting.
The result of the conversion should be a folder with DVD video files that will
be recorded onto a disc with the help of the AVS Video Converter
internal burning engine. It will be launched automatically when the conversion
process is over.

Insert a blank DVD into your computer optical disc drive. Make sure that the
disc is compatible with your drive. AVS Video Burner
application will be launched to guide you through the burning process so that
you could record your converted video onto a disc.
You can select the necessary disc drive if you have several, refresh it and mark
the Verify disc check-box to make sure the disc is recorded
correctly.
Now click the Start burning! button to begin the recording.
Note, that if the disc is not empty you will be offered to erase it. If you do
not want to do that, you can eject the disc and use another one instead.
After the burning is over the disc will be ejected automatically. Note, if you
checked the Verify disc, the recording will take a little
longer depending on the size of the output files as the program will need time
to verify them.
Now you can watch your recorded home video DVD on your Home DVD Player!
