Is there a easy and fast way 2 convert DV AVI to SVCD?

[Leander]

I'm fairly new to this and I'm having problems with conversions. Basically all I want to do is burn my avi files onto CD with a menu. I've read that svcd is good quality so thats what I'm currently trying to accomplish.

Unfortunately when I tried to convert a 7 minute file in TMPEGnc it said that it would take an hour. I'm thinking that there has to be a better way to archive video, its ridiculous to have spend to hours capturing, editing and converting. So basically if anyone with experience can recommend a somewhat painless process of creating svcds I'd appreiciate the help.

thanks

Nope.

If you want to go from DV to mpeg, you have to software convert it, and it takes a lot of time. Otherwise, capture analog video directly to mpeg for burning directly to CD-R/DVD-R.

Hi
Sounds like you may be doing what I did as a novice, I imported to Premiere and edited, then exported the file as an .avi, this = lots of time. I then used tmpeg to compress the .avi to mpg2 for writing to svcd, again = lots of time.
Now I capture or import my files into Premier for editing and then frame serve them directly to tmpeg cutting the overall time by half
Search for avisynth to learn how to do this and where to download from, also it's free.
Hope ths helps.
