I'm looking for a lightweight audio/video converter that can at least handle an .avi to .iso conversion. I'd like a stand-alone product that doesn't require a full installation (preferable but not a requirement).

Anyone have any suggestions? I don't need a feature-rich app just something to handle the above stated issue. Thanks.

try MagicIso, you add the avi file and then save the project as ISO.

found this tool as well, but never tried:

Thanks, I really just need to convert one .avi to DVD ISO so I don't need anything with bells and whistles. I'm going to use AVI2ISO (I'm converting a movie to DVD someone gave me to watch). Thanks again.

try DVD Creator, I always use this tool, it works fine. you can input the avi files and output as ISO. it's easy.

Thank you, I found one I'm going to use. I should have mentioned that I only need to convert one .avi to DVD. This is why I was looking for a lightweight program, I didn't want something that was going to leave a big footprint since I probably wouldn't be using it that often, if at all.

I've heard of DVD Creator, is this a full-fledged DVD manipulation program? Meaning, does it rip and burn to disc in lieu of creating the ISOs? I download most of my software so I'm constantly burning DVDs. I used to use Cyberlink and then Nero but when I installed Windows Server 2008 R2 I had to switch to yet another program because Nero doesn't support Windows Server. Now I use ImgBurn and I love it.
