random and yet totally predictable.

Also? I've decided that I really do want a dreamwidth account (as a backup, not leaving LJ) if only so I can keep my name before somebody else swipes it, so if anybody's got any invites laying around that they don't need...

And GIP. Oh, Ronon.

Wanted: DVD Software

So I got this new computer a couple of weeks ago and I'm pretty excited because I'll finally get to burn things like vids (and maybe even some other stuff!) to DVD. Only, when I try to use Windows DVD Maker it doesn't accept AVI at all, telling me the file is invalid. Which... is a problem because lots and lots of vids that I download are in that format, and pretty much everything else I download too.

So what do you guys use to burn AVI? I'm pretty bummed about the whole thing to be quite honest. I tried another program called Aimersoft DVD Creator and while it worked like a charm for gigglemonster, for some reason it doesn't want to engage my DVD drive at all. After encoding everything it spits the (perfectly good, I tested it) blank DVD out and tells me it didn't burn. No duh, thank you very much.

(I don't know if it's me that's doing something wrong there or not, it might be worth looking into.)

Anyway.

Advice? Thoughts?
