Too many programs for avi to dvd conversion, need advice on which is better

[mewmix]

Hello. so I have 2 predicaments. 1, I am using Nerovision to convert avi files to dvd format. I like the program cuz u can fit 12 files on a disk. Problem is it kills the quality, even if its just 2 files. I know of tmpeg but there are so many other conversion tools out there now and I dont know what one to use anymore..I want quality! Ive heard of cucusoft, avi2dvd etc etc My 2nd problem is I am running this on an AMD Athalon, ive heard that I should be doing this on an intel, is this true?

Thanks in advance for any info given!

For quality, a standalone encoder like TMPGEnc will do a better job. Or CCE, or Mainconcept or one of the freeware encoders from 'Tools' to the left. <<<<<<

The all in ones, such as ConvertXToDVD work OK, but you don't have as much control over the settings to get the best quality. I wouldn't recommend WinAVI at all.

Really makes no difference whether you use a AMD or an Intel CPU.

May I suggest my tool DIKO? It's targetted to putting a s much footage as possible, but always with quality in mind. Check my signature.

AVI2DVD is simple, works fine, but it doesn't do fancy stuff like motion menus, AC3 audio, and that sort of stuff.
