Well, I was (obviously in error) under the impression you wanted to create a Video DVD.
But if you tell us what you start with ("movie", and that you got it using a BitTorrent client, doesn't say much - is it in AVI? Is it an ISO of a Video DVD?) and what you want to end up with, maybe someone can supply you with a more accurate help.
And be prepared for the fact that every format conversion will reduce the quality to some extent.

If you d/l'ed it, the quality is probably poor to begin with. You can't recode to a proper mp2 dvd and have it look any better. If it is an hour or so long and under 1 gb it's not going to look like going to a movie theater and paying to see it.

its a dvd screen in . avi format so when played on the mac the audio and video r both 10/10, and by the way im sorry its not toast 7 its toast 8 im useing 2 burn the movie with

[mats.hogberg]

Every conversion (like from AVI to Video DVD) takes its toll on quality. Up to 1.5 hours on a DVD-5 should look pretty similar to the AVI, above that, the degradation will become more visible.
Perhaps some Toast expert can chirp in with some quality tweaks?

ok, i got it thanks, by the way is there a program 4 free that will convert the avi 2 dvd video and also burn the movie? or just at least convert it i will burn it on toast 8

Nothing for free on the mac side sorry.
Everything that exists is either a low cost
(ffmpegx, Visual Hub) or on the high end
(DVDSP).

What's wrong with Toast 8?
Toast 8 will author the avi to DVD natively?
And by adjusting the settings under the advanced menu


(and by knowing how BitRate works) you can achieve
excellent quality in your DVDs.
