VHS to DVD

[oilop]

I am a newbie with respect to converting VHS or Hi8 video to DVD.
I have an ATI All in Wonder Pro Video Capture Card which records VHS to AVI format. I would like to convert these movies to be layable on
DVD-R media. What Software and what file format would I use to convert these AVI's? Would I need to convert to VOB's?...etc.

Are there any Guides to doing this?

Thanks

1) Use "TMPGEnc" to convert file to DVD-compliant MPEG-2 format (use TMPGEnc's DVD template)

2) Load compliant file into "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program) to (very easily) create required DVD files and structure - and menu and chapters...

The ATI All-in-Wonder Pro has an option to encode at 640x480 in AVI or MP2 format. I've tried 720x480, but the result is a garbled picture. I can use the MP2 format directly in DVDit and make DVD's that way. Does this seem ok, or it the above stated suggestions better?

"I can use the MP2 format directly in DVDit and make DVD's that way."

If that yields satisfactory results for you, that's great ;>}
