http://www.pegasys-inc.com/en/index.html - a lot of DVD rippers use these tools to convert avi files to DVD's TMPGEnc. a copy of gspot is usefull to check out the codecs. I think they convert avi to mpeg then to vob... not sure as I can't be bothered to try it. I have a lost of customers who buy a load of DVD media and swear by TMPGEnc (and nero)

My XViD/DiVX to DVD/SVCD Guide (http://www.short-media.com/review.php?r=156)

Just remember, that with TMPGEnc you MUST select the following options:

1) DVD NTSC
2) Source Aspect Ratio: "4:3" (Errors in my guides. :rolleyes: I plan to redo them all).
3) Film movie
4) VBR MAX8000, min 0, average ~3500 kbs
5) Advanced settings -> Video Arrange Method: 720x480 or 720x576.

ALWAYS encode small samples of video (1000 frames) with the source range setting before you encode.

And then run your resultant MPEG through TMPGEnc DVD Author.

What if I'm putting this onto a standard CD-R? Can I still select DVD but set the split file-level at a different amount? I mean, I'd rather have higher resolution. I used to use a program called "avi2vcd" but it seems it can't handle the newer DiVX/XViD files.

No, you can't use the DVD spec on a CD-R. You'd have to make an SVCD (Which is very close, quality-wise, to a DVD). Expect 32-45 minutes per disc on an SVCD.

"...can not open or unsupported."

What's going on? I've never seen TMPGEnc get confused, lol :confused:

If you need a screenshot, I can (it'll have all the file specs, I think), but it's also illegal... so I don't know if I should (then again, what else is this program good for legally? :rolleyes: )

In 1993 I made a Christmas video starring my (then) eight-year-old daughter and other members of my family. I used a borrowed camcorder to film it. I made copies for everyone (of the good old VHS variety).

This year I took everyone a DVD version. The family was tickled to be reminded of semi-forgotten details of eleven years ago. They also liked having the ability to easily jump from scene to scene, as opposed to sitting through all the FF and REW business involved in viewing a tape. I was also happy to have a digital version which won't deteriorate over time. :)

TmpENC is what I use for teh pr0n conversion.

I think VideoLAN has some streaming capabilities. You might be able to somehow capture the stream to mpg. If TMPenc doesnt work.
