I've got a whole bunch of TV episodes I want to burn to dvd-r so I can watch them on my dvd player (Phillips DVP642). What is a good program to batch encode the videos and also have the avi's compressed using divx (or something similar)? I've tried a few programs (winAVI, MyBatchConverter, and Imtoo Converter off the top of my head) and the ones that didn't choke and freeze, I ended up with a nearly, if not over, one gig avi file, when the wmv was less than a hundred megs.
Or is there any way to make the dvp642 play wmv files?
Thanks

and you can use the gui/frontends super or mediacoder for mencoder.

Okay, I've got mediacoder and mencoder installed, but is there a manual or something for mediacoder? I've rooted around here and didn't find anything. I'm having a few issues with it. Basically, when I try and convert the files, I can't play them in media Player Classic. It will play fine in their preview window. I've tried various video and audio encoding formats, and still it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

There is a manual at the mplayerhq site, however I would have thought that the point of using a frontend like mediacoder was to avoid having to learn mencoder's commandline options.
For the preview, it probably uses mplayer which has its own built in decoders. Still ffdshow can decode basically everthing that it can. For a DVP642, as I said I would go with XviD though. Two passes with a dxn ht profile as per above. lavc mpeg4 should also work, however it doesn't have dxn profiles.
