Try VSO DivX to dvd.

DVDSanta has limited options, it's output is not always DVD compliant, it crashes with no reason, it resizes video, it has poor quality at a given bitrate, and is generally at the bottom of a very long list of poor software.

If you want quality, try Mainconcept, Canopus Procoder, or CCE, then author in something like DVDLab.

If you want a "one-click-wonder" that will produce studio quality dvd's, there simply isn't one.

Here's a few more you might want to try, some are even free.

What is the format of your source file? Maybe you can have a try on winavi video converter http://www.winavi.com/video-converter.htm

VSO has a tickbox, that you can change from 4:3 to 16:9.
This is widescreen.

what is the best converter???????


WHAT A QUESTION THAT IS !!!!

at the moment,in my opinion nothing can beat the following combo's,for the 2 most popular requirements

AVI'S

the film machine,using CCE'S engine,2 pass minimum

EXTRACTED MPEGS'S FROM BIN IMAGES

mainconcepts mpeg encoder,2 pass

followed by TMPGEnc to join

I recently used TMPGEnc Plus to convert my mpeg files to mpeg2 so that I can burn them on dvd. I was successful in doing this but the picture looks a little weird. The sound and pictures looks great but when there is motion, you can see square pixels moving in motion. Don't know if I'm explaining this well but if anyone knows how to fix this problem it would be great.

I used these settings for the TMPGenc:

Video tab
Stream type: MPEG-2 Video
Size: 352x240 (for NTSC)
Aspect Ratio: 4:3
Frame Rate: 29.97fps (NTSC)
Rate Control Mode: CBR at 400kbps
VBV Buffer: 224 KB
Profile & level: MP@ML
Video Format: NTSC
Encode mode: non-interlace
YUV: 4:2:0
DC precision: 9 bits
Motion search precision: Normal

Advanced
Video source: non-interlace
Field order: bottom or top
Source aspect: 1:1
Video arrange method: Full screen

GOP Structure
IBBPBBPBBPBBPBBP
Number of I pictures in GOP: 1
Number of P pictures in GOP: 5
Number of B pictures in GOP: 2
Output interval of sequence header: 1 GOP
Max number of frames per GOP: 18
Output bitstream for edit (Closed GOP): checked
Detect scene change: checked
Force picture type setting: unchecked

Quantize matrix
Did not mess with this

Audio
Stream type: MPEG-1 Layer II
Sampling: 48000Hz
Stereo
Bitrate: 224kbps
Error protection checked, anything else unchecked

System
Stream type: MPEG-2 Program (VBR)
