Converting to mpg for dvd authoring

[steviewilson]

I have tv shows on the pc as avi's, (some divx, some xvid), im looking for the best way to make them into mpg files, compatible with tmpgenc dvd author program. I have followed a few guides on here using tmpgenc 2.5 but always end up with strange results, like a 29 minute program showing 16 minutes into the program with only 16% of the encoding completed - surely this should be around 55-60%? Im putting max 6 episodes on a dvd-r and calculated bitrate of 3198, at 16% completed the filesize was around half a gig! G spot says the avi file is valid and at least 3 encoders are installed.

Any other suggestions as to where Im going wrong?

probably mp3 vbr audio and tmpgenc does not like it, convert it to wav

or use something else like the old free divxtodvd and then import the dvd in tmpgenc dvd author.

Maybe you can have a try on WinAVI Video Converter. It can convert avi to mpg as you mentioned!
