'tmpgenc mpeg encoder' can do this for you, if you use 'batch mode'.

doubt you will get much encoding done, as it takes a very long time to encode if you want decent quality.

Not exactly (Unless I'm thinking of a different program - but I doubt it) - That will only convert the .AVIs to DVD-compliant MPEG-2 format. It will not (as DVD Santa does) result in a ready-to-burn DVD "package" (.IFOs, .BUPs, .VOBs)...

yes, you are correct, setarip, but from then on, the files can be authored with a program of 'tommy50's choice (tmpgenc dvd author, dvdlab, etc). this will take relatively little time
