but if you are just doing avi file use avi2dvd. its pretty simple and you can get it for free.
go here http://www.afterdawn.com/software/vi...ls/avi2dvd.cfm
do a little reading on that site too. its the ---- for just about anything A/V related.
i tried that AVI2dvd thing and it comes out looking likt complete poop.

Nero vision is one of the best for encoding quality, just make sure to set it to 2-pass VBR - High Quality

which encoder did you use?
all of mine came out great, w/dolby dig
but i allways used the one that took the longest.
i have nero vision also, but i only use that if i want to put tv shows on a dvd.
but i don't ---- with it anymore cause i got a dvd player that plays almost every video file,except hd xvid.

Jon I can't burn dvd's so, hook me up. I can burn it on a normal cd and send it to yah and convert it over to a DVD if you can. PM me your addy and I'll send you the disk. If you like watching Japanese movies with no subtitles make a copy for yourself. Midnite Wangan you will be mine on DVD oh yes you will.

we may be thinking of a diff prog, because the one im thinking of doesnt let you choose the encoder.

possibly, because the one that i used have 4 to choose from, with different options. one of them you could choose had a 4-pass option. that would take like a day to do.

you know anyone with a mac? my friend has one and he says it only take like 15min to fully convert an avi file to dvd? wtf?
he said they're made different so it can do that.
i had a mac way back when, and it was a total POS.

A good mpeg2 encoder application will encode in less than half the play time on a decent PC...

I prefer this program http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/ then just go split your vid into multiple parts and go to https://www.yousendit.com/ they have a 2 gig upload limit then send the links of the split vid to the person on the receiving end they can uses this http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/#hjjoin to join the splits back together just make sure you copy and paste all the links into a text document for the person to download all the parts join them and then make you DVD.

Jon live like 2 hours from me so I'll just toss it in the mail and he'll have it the next day. I'll just have to see what Jon's dvd making capabilities are like when I get the video back. Once I get the Z boosted. You want to help me tune it?
