Go to the "Guides" section (over there <-<-<-) and click on the format conversion button. Scroll down to the conversion you want (ex. avi to DVD), then hit search guides and you will get a list of guides which will give you detailed instructions for what you are trying to accomplish.

You have to read the guides. The forum can only help if you first study the guides and try a few things. You will then have specific questions people can help with. One word of advise. Do everything on RW first.

TMPGEnc has a 30 day trial period for mpeg2 encoding. It should work if you just got an official copy.
