If you are attempting to convert AVIs for the purpose of playback on a conventional DVD standalone player, do the following:

1. Convert the AVI file(s) to a DVD compliant mpeg-2 file using "TMPGEnc" or "TMPGEnc Plus". Use the DVD template (NTSC or PAL) from the “Project Wizard” to help you accomplish the task.

2. Then use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (different than "TMPGEnc") to author the newly created mpeg-2 into a DVD-related file structure. (.IFO, .BUP, .VOB). As an alternative, you can use "DVDLab" to author as well.

3. If the combined filesize of the project exceeds 4.37 Gig, use "DVD Shrink" or similar transcoding program to compress.

4. Use "Nero" or similar burning program to burn onto a DVD (r, rw) disk.

Yes, it's quite simple with the right software.

[ormonde]

"is there sometghing i should do or just play with it till it works?"

In what way are you achieving bad results with the audio?

[UnrealSem]

i guess it was just bad when i played it on my pc cause the player read it fine, now i just need someone to point out to me a good, avi to mpg converter that can give me good results in fair time! im usin one know but it takes like 18 hours per movie!

Refer to the first suggestion in my initial posting to this thread:

"1. Convert the AVI file(s) to a DVD compliant mpeg-2 file using "TMPGEnc" or "TMPGEnc Plus". Use the DVD template (NTSC or PAL) from the “Project Wizard” to help you accomplish the task."

[UnrealSem]

[UnrealSem]
