Looking for some opinions on the best way to convert AVI files to Mpeg without the clarity/quality and audio going to hell so that I can burn some of the anime I've collected to DVD-R to use in my home DVD deck.
I've tried Ulead's DVD Workshop for the conversion, but wasn't pleased with the results (and of course I probably didn't have the settings optimized...)
Are you converting to mpeg 2 or mpeg 1? I gues dvd or vcd? And ya got to mess with thoses settings! ;)
I dont know about that Balto but you could do a search on google on these programs. Just type in AVI to mpeg on google and you will get some results.
Tried the Google thing (I do heed my own advice before asking ;) ) which is where I came up with DVD Workshop. Was just curious as to what other folks might have had success using...
Try TMPGEnc to encode AVI to Mpeg. or you can go here for help to convert video file www.vcdhelp.com
heres what ive used :D

works great. but if you .avi is encoded with VBR (variable bitrate) Audio then you'll have to go into VirtualDub and re-compress the audio layer for every file before you can convert to .mpg (tmpgenc just gives an error)
and that site also has some good dvd authoring progs & tutorials :D
Arrrrrrrrr, I gots a nice one put out by Panasonic. called MPEG-1 encoder so it is!
TMPGENC < never fails, AND great compression too!
