making as ts folder with ff. - which option?

[marinebc11]

Hi i'd like to make a ts. folder so i can burn my avi to dvd and have it play on lap top and on a tv -

i am usuing ffmpegx

in the to section there are lots of options of formats, though none saying ts.

there are 3 dvd format options
dvdlo
dvdmpeg2enc
dvdffmpeg

there is also mpeg ts - which i ve already tried and ended up witha file with a vlc symbol on it, so I guess that no good.

any advice - its for a christmas present and yep! i left it right to the last minute

thanks all

dvdlo = DVD preset for reduced (low) resolution
dvdmpeg2enc = DVD preset using the mpeg2enc engine
dvdffmpeg = DVD preset using the ffmpeg engine
mpeg ts = transport stream (like broadcast), not for DVD.

Without knowing more about the AVI, I would suggest using the dvdmpeg2enc preset as best allround choice.
