DVDFab All-In-One

Converting an ISO to AVI is the process of extracting video data from a disc image to make it compatible with older playback devices. Reliable tools for this task include DVDFab DVD Ripper, VLC, and XMedia Recode. These programs allow you to load the ISO file, select the main video content, and choose AVI as your output format before starting the conversion. This method is particularly useful for playing movies on car infotainment systems or legacy hardware that does not support modern file types.

DVD Decrypter is a discontinued Windows utility for copying older DVD-Video discs, while “DVD decrypter” also describes a broader category of disc tools. For Windows 11 or macOS, choose a maintained program like DVDFab HD Decrypter that matches the disc’s age and your required output. Free options can create ISO or VIDEO_TS backups, or convert supported sources to MP4 and MKV, but many cannot process newly released protections.

To rip DVD, insert the disc, launch your DVD ripping software (such as DVDFab DVD Ripper or HandBrake), load the source DVD into the program, select your preferred output format (MP4 or MKV), set a destination folder, and then simply click "Start." Wait for the process to complete, and your ripped DVD videos will be ready for viewing.

To burn an MP4 to a playable DVD on Mac, use DVD authoring software like DVDFab that converts the video into a DVD-Video structure. DVDFab DVD Creator provides menu, subtitle, DVD-5/DVD-9, disc, ISO, and folder options, while DVDStyler and Burn are free alternatives for creating playable DVDs. If you only need to store the original MP4 files on a data disc, Finder is enough.

Windows 10 can burn files to a data DVD with File Explorer or Windows Media Player Legacy, but those built-in tools do not author a standard movie DVD for regular DVD players. To burn videos such as MP4, MKV, or MOV as a playable DVD with menus on Windows, use DVD-authoring software such as DVDFab DVD Creator or the free DVDStyler.

DVDFab 12 has been updated to DVDFab 13. In this DVDFab 13 review, we cover the key features, main functions, how it works, and what’s new, offering a clear overview of the suite from copy/rip/create and disc-to-disc conversion to Cinavia removal.

Burning video to DVD is useful when you need a physical copy for family videos, school projects, event recordings, or work presentations. If you want a playable DVD for a regular DVD player, use DVDFab DVD Creator because it can convert video files into a DVD-Video disc with menus and chapters. If you only want to back up or transfer video files, burn a data DVD instead with Windows Media Player on Windows or Finder on Mac. The key difference is simple: a playable DVD is made for watching on a DVD player, while a data DVD is mainly for storing files.

Copying DivX/Xvid to DVD can mean two different outputs: authoring a DVD-Video for a conventional DVD player, or writing the original files to a data DVD for a player that already supports DivX/Xvid. For DVD-Video, DVDFab DVD Creator can turn DivX/Xvid files into a playable disc with menus and subtitles, or save the project as an ISO or DVD folder; for a data DVD, the files can remain unchanged, but playback depends on the target device's file support.
