With Cool 3D or Cool 3D Production Studio? No... I think you posted in the wrong forum, so I'll move it, after you tell us what program you are using?

Unless he is refering to an .avi that was created with Cool 3D. Those can be quite large, but they are not suitable to be put on a DVD. They would need to be encoded into an mpg file.

Just a thought.

I realized that C3D can create quite large AVI files, however I haven't found a way for C3D to split the file, or span it across DVDs or multiple files. I agree that to be burned to DVD it would have to be first rendered to an DVD Compatible MPEG-2.

If the OP is talking about C3D, then the AVI created could be inserted into a video editing program or DVDMF, then encoded to MPEG-2, which then could be used to burn. At that stage if it is necessary then the DVD authoring program may be able to span it, however I would rather split it manually instead of relying on the program to figure out where to span it.

If you are just burning it to dvd as a backup and don't intend to play it in a standalone player, then you just need to render the anim, then use one of the many AVI splitters out there, to finish the job.
