OJOsoft DVD to AVI Converter: Fast & Easy DVD-to-AVI Guide

Converting DVDs to AVI can help you preserve movies, play them on a wider range of devices, or create editable files. This guide shows a fast, simple workflow using OJOsoft DVD to AVI Converter and explains key settings to balance quality and file size.

What you need

• A Windows PC with a DVD drive
• Original DVD disc or VIDEO_TS folder/ISO
• OJOsoft DVD to AVI Converter installed

Quick 5-step conversion (fastest method)

1. Insert DVD — Put the DVD into your drive and launch the converter.
2. Load source — Click “Open DVD” or “Load Folder/ISO” and select the disc or VIDEO_TS folder. The main movie title is usually the largest file.
3. Choose AVI profile — Select an AVI output preset (e.g., “AVI – Xvid” or “AVI – DivX”). Presets simplify codec, bitrate, and resolution choices.
4. Adjust basic settings (optional)
   • Resolution: keep original (e.g., 720×480 for NTSC) for best quality; choose 480p or 360p to reduce size.
   • Bitrate: 1,000–2,000 kbps for decent quality; 2,500–3,500 kbps for near-DVD quality.
   • Audio: 128–192 kbps MP3 is usually sufficient.
5. Start conversion — Click Convert and wait. Time depends on CPU and chosen bitrate; expect 30–90 minutes for full-length movies on average hardware.

Tips to speed up conversion

• Use a faster computer or enable multi-core CPU support if available.
• Close other programs to free CPU/RAM.
• Select hardware-accelerated codecs if the software supports them.
• Convert shorter chapters separately if you only need parts of the DVD.

Troubleshooting common issues

• No disc detected: try copying the VIDEO_TS folder to your hard drive and load it.
• Audio out of sync: lower CPU load, try re-encoding audio separately, or use the audio delay setting if available.
• Poor output quality: increase bitrate or keep original resolution; check source disc quality.
