Authoring DVD with converted Xvids

[Born Slippy]

WOW I used dvd shrink and then burned with nero and it looks great, I might not even bother with a menu.

Yeah, that DVD Shrink really is amazing, eh?

Is there anything to convert wmv to video_ts (vob files?)like VSO does with avi's?

[rumplestiltskin]

Slippy, have you tried DivxToDVD ? The documentation I've read claims that it can do the "...to DVD" from many different formats.

This is from the VSO website about DivxToDVD:

The future version will create automatically DVD menu and Subtitles.

No wonder the program is becoming payware instead of freeware.
