HOWDY folks, I just purchased NEC rw+-. Also Nero Plus. Want to buy
TMPGEnc for converting avi to dvd. Do I have enough to accomplih this
or do I need an author? Thank you.

to aithor a DVD yes, you need an DVD authoring package... for converting avi to vcd,svcd you have enough. I would not recommend converting avi to dvd.

...converting avi to dvd

AVI is just a wrapper. What type of AVI is it? What do you have inside the AVI? Is it a home video?

At this point, I will assume it is a home video (i.e., DV-AVI).

I just purchased ... Nero Plus.

Not sure what Nero Plus is. Do you mean Nero 6 Ultra Edition? If so, then it comes with NeroVision Express 2 (NVE2). This should be able to convert an AVI to DVD for you (unless you have hardware incompatibilities).

I have used it successfully to capture a home video from my miniDV camcorder and make a DVD.

If you have NVE2, then you don't need TMPGEnc (unless you want it).

GeoPappas- Please read the user comments on nero vision 2.

I have read the comments. I'm not sure which specific ones you are referring to, but I also own the product and have tried it first-hand.

I have successfully taken DV-AVI (from a miniDV camcorder tape) and created a DVD with no problems. These AVI files work fine in NVE2.

What is your point?
