VCD and SVCD commercial conversion, authoring Software???

Ive noticed most of these conversion autorizing tools are either free or quite cheap. Thats good I suppose.

Ive so far tried DIKO. I managed to find the Beta 2 exe and install that but I couldn't find the Beta 3 upgrade anyware- the link didnt take me to it.

Ive so far had limited success with this tool- File size either to big or small after conversion of Avi\Xvid files. It said something about cannot convert ogg files or something. It said download "direct Show filter" and intall that. That I have now done. This wasnt mentioned in the guide. I havent had the chance to try the program again to see if that fixed the problem.

Anyway what I wanted to ask was:-

Is there a prefered program to do these conversions. Like a all in one superior product-even a comercial product that is not so involved and mind boggling that deals with dvd conversion also??

Im not complaining here but It takes a bit to get your head arround this stuff. To use an analogy-

I'm looking for a "PhotoShop CS" of Video Conversion and Authorizing software that does it all.

Does such a product exist???

Thanks Yowie

if its avi to (s)vcd conversion the method ive had the best results with is dvd2svcd with cce using a 3 or 4 pass vbr encode of course the end result depends on the source you use but this method has always yeilded great svcds for me, the method is well covered in the guides section.
