MPEG 2 or DIVX AVI
-
I am going to be trying to convert my DVRMS files to another format so that I can burn them to DVD. Will MPEG 2 or DIVX AVI give me the better quality resolution? Most of the programs I record are being broadcast in HD so they are pretty high resolution. I know there will be some loss in quality, but am looking for the best option.

If you are going to be making a video DVD, the files will be converted to MPEG 2 in any case, because that's what DVDs use.
You will need to burn the MPEG 2 files to the DVD using your own DVD-burning software, which came with your DVD drive. Be sure you select "Video DVD" and not "Data DVD" before burning.
We have published an article on DVD formats that explains DVD formats and file types.
