hi there- is there a one program that can author and convert avi movies in to DVD format with selectable subs and menues for burning on a DVD-R media ???

Try TheFilmMachine.

ok so it's like this now...
i thried out the film machine and after a few hours all i got was nothing!
it said the convertion was over but the files where missing!
tried DVD2SVCD and every time it starts the CCE it crashes! have no idea why. whith the film machine it seemd to work fine (CCE that is).
does any 1 have any other sugestions???

diko.

or convert with tmpgenc or mainconcept mpeg encoder or cinemacraft encoder and author with switchable subtitles with dvd-lab pro or dvdauthorgui or gui for dvdauthor.

The simple answer to that question is Adobe Encore DVD 1.5 the prosumer grade DVD authorer.

1.Built in mpeg2 encoder
2.Built in ac3 encoder
3.Built in DVD burning
4.Menu creation and motion menu renderer
5.Subtitle creation up to 24 tracks
6.Asset calculator
7.Connection to Photoshop CS for menu editing


Its not a professional grade authorer and its certainly not a consumer grade authorer. For a Professional grade authorer try DVD Maestro or Sonic Scenarist. For a consumer grade authorer try Sonic MyDVD

ok ...
so - tried diko but no luck, tried it out with a guide but it kept giving me a error msg in the config. that i have no idea what 2 do with.
am gonna try - adobe encore DVD once i get it and
check it out.
had the avi file encoded into mpeg2 and the sound muxed in to ac3 file with virtualdubmod, look ok , i'll update as soon as i get the progs and the movie burnt.
thanks for all the options u ppl gave me.
i'll b glad to hear of any other tools u know of, i'll b more specific this time - i'm looking for a very simple and intuitive prog. non of the 50 page guide oones plz.
thank agian

I think this is the best advice.

ok so i burnt the first movie with out subs and it came out gr8 with TMPEGenc with menues and chapters.
but!!! there is no way to add subs with this easy to use prog. and i really wanna add'm .
i tried DVDit and DVDlab and they r both more complicated than what i'm looking for.
is there any prog that after i got the mpg file and the ac3 file ready allow me to add selectable subs to my DVD and menues and chapters ofcorce??

ulead dvd workshop might work for you, the only thing is that it doesn handle 16:9 widescreen unless you encode with tmpgenc first
