Converting DV tape to divx for a dvd of avis

[clawg]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is an advantage/disadvantage to making a DVD of avis vs. an actual DVD. I have a DVD player connected to my tv that plays discs of divx files that I use all of the time.

When I capture avi from dv tape using WinDV I set it so that each take is a separate file. This is nice when converting to a folder if divx file using Dr. Divx, but has proved to be problematic for me in making simple DVDs using AVI2DVD since software like that seems to want a single file. (I should also add that one problem I have generally is that so much software tends not to recognize that the files are 16x9 so I have to batch convert them with virtual-dub to 4x3 with letterbox).

So I thought an alternative might me to set Dr DivX to make a folder of file that is DVD size. Does anybody have an opinion as regard to quality?
