In my opinion, TMPGEnc is the best software for converting .AVI files to VCD and/or SVCD formats.

how do u get a movie in full screen most movies will go to full screen but some won't with tmpge..how do u fix that, also if u want to encode to widescreen how u do that...do u need a tool to fix the problem with the full screen problem?

[setarip]

For widescreen use the 16:9 settings for both "Video" and "System".

I don't understand your question regarding "Full screen". If you're referring to converting a letter-boxed (black margins top and bottom) from .AVI to .MPG, etc., it will continue to have the margins. If you mean something else, please provide more details.

Yeh, change the aspect ratio to 16:9 for widescreen. I don't understand by what you mean by "Full screen" Do you mean by hitting ALT+ENTER in WMP to maximize the picture and to make it full screen.
