Windows DVD Maker ~ AVI files too big.
Hi.
I have downloaded some movies in .AVI format and I can only make DVDs using Vista Ultimate and Windows DVD Maker if the file size is under approx 730mb. It seems if I go over this I get a "will not fit" message, for example files of around 1gb. How do I overcome this? Do I need to first convert the AVI file to some other format to shrink it or something?
Thanks.

I use AVS video converter for all sorts of conversion and resizing tasks. I find it to be very useful:
