i like this program
 

hey everyone i am new to this whole avi - dvd svcd ect ect
but i found a good little program it is WinAVI Video Converter ... it's fast and it does the trick ... but with that in mind the avi - vcd doesnt look the best ... but if you wanted something for avi - dvd then this program isnt 2 bad the dvd's dont look 2 bad ... it's quick to do took me about 30 mins for a 700mb avi file ... and then around another 30 for nero to burn it and it worked fine in my dvd player.
