you can accomplish an avi to DVD conversion and burning very easily with Tmpeg and Tmpeg DVD author (or dvdlab)

Tmpeg encoder itself is a very easy to use program and
has a wizard to support you in choosing the right settings...
then after transforming the avi to mpeg2 you can use
Tmpeg dvd author or dvdlab to create the files needed to be burned to dvd...

the more difficult thing about this is to get the avifiles Tmpeg
ready.....

there are many different codecs used and wrapped in an
avi container......

Tmpeg has its difficulties to process avi files that have a variable
bitrate in audio.... and somtimes with audiostreams that are in ac3

I recommend that you check your avi before you start Tmpeg....
you can use Gspot or virtualdub mod for that purpose


In case you have an avi with VBR mp3 audio..
there are many posts in here to convert an avi that includes
a variable bitratestream in audio to wav.... here is one of it

using VirtualDubMOD to Convert "VBR" .MP3 to Uncompressed .WAV

1) Load the .AVI file into VirtualDubMOD (a different program than the standard VirtualDub) , ignore the message about VBR audio and hit NO....

2) From the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Direct Stream Copy"

3) From the "Streams" dropdown menu, select "Stream List" - and rightclick on the audio stream, then select "Full Processing Mode"
rightclick again on the audiostream, then in compression select
no compresion (PCM) then click on Demux and enter a filename with the wav suffix (e.g. terminator.wav) to save the audio.

4) After the audio has been saved open streamlist --> streams again and click on disable

5) Save with a new filename.

now you have a proper audiofile and a silent videofile that you can load into Tmpeg

in case you have an avi with AC3....
load your avi into TMpeg

Then, in TMPGEnc, under "Environmental Settings", set the "Direct Show Multimedia Reader" to the highest priority listed ("1" is usually sufficient.

TMPGEnc will now be able to process both the video and audio streams of this file..."

or if this does not work

load your file into virtualdub MOD newest version (Not virtual dub)

demux your audiofile by choosing -->stream-->streamlist-->demux-->"filename".ac3
use the program "Headac3 he" to process it to wav.....

then use your original avi to be a source for the tmpeg videosource
and the headac3 he outputfile as audiosource

the basic information has been posted by setarip... I altered it
and enhanced some additional information

all of the mentioned porgrams besides Tmpeg enc , Tmpeg dvd author and dvdlab are freeware


good luck
