It can take up to four hours or more to convert a two-hour movie, depending on the software chosen and optional quality settings. Various software programs are available to do this, with some being faster than others, but this isn’t a quick process. In order to convert AVI to DVD, the files must be re-encoded to the proper format. When you convert AVI to DVD, the necessary files will be created along with two title set (TS) directories: VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. The final type of DVD file is the Backup ( BUP) file, which mirrors the IFO file in case the latter becomes unreadable due to surface damage of the disc from scratches, for example, or from improper handling. In addition to the VOB file, a DVD disc normally has an Information (IFO) file that provides navigational data for the DVD player - essentially a map for locating chapters, subtitle streams, audio streams, special commentary and so on.
