          you'll need ONE f the encoders i listed - they are all very similar in terms of quality & speed

          take a look at avi2dvd - it is very userfriendly and easy to use

          well, what does it do?

          pretty much what you have asked for: converting avi to dvd/svcd/vcd

          i'd convert to svcd though because upsampling from avi resolution to (higher) dvd resolution is stupid imho

          convert from avi to svcd and then use dvdlab to author the svcd files to dvd

            You can't generalize and say only make SVCD from his avi.
            You have no idea the resolution, aspect, compression, or bitrate of the avi's. What if his avi's are DV captures?
            I have some great avi's that make excellent full D1 dvd's. I also have some crap ones, than make excellent VCD's.
            Either way, the encoding bitrate and aspect are based on the quality of the original, and I always author in DVDLab Pro.

              i can exclude that we're dealing with selfmade dv avis, because someone familiar with this wouldnt ask the initial question

              upsampling is and will stay nonsense

                You're probably right, but his originals just might be full D1 aspect...you never know

                  of course high def source material will make a difference, but the two of us know, what material we usually deal with in questions like these, don't we?

                  and no, i dont want to know titel or source to not get anyone in conflict with the forum rules

                  some so called *helpful* users do like to ask this question every now and then only to point to the forum rules afterwards and sending pm's to admin complaining.....

                  it's a sad world ^_~

                    Heh, yes, we DO know the source of most of this stuff, and no, I never ask (although you're correct, some people do bait the noob's, just so they can puff up their ego's.)
                    For now, the OP get's the benefit of the doubt, although a Gspot screenshot (with the filename blanked out) would help us to help him a lot more.
