Jigen: you said a large AVI would be compressed down. The few AVI to DVD I have done, I used Nero Vision 4 (From Nero 7 Ultra), and it expanded the AVI some three-fold.
I guess I am doing it wrong. Most of what i get is already DVD compliant, but when I get the odd AVI or this WMV, I am somewhat lost. And this out-of-sync is my bane.
Well when you go from AVI to mpeg2 you are going to enlarge the output file considerably as you are changing the file properties but making it dvd compliant
Taking a DivX encoded AVI (like most DLd material) and encoding it as Mpeg DOES increase it's size, but usually it's the other way around. I used to capture TV to AVI all the time, and a 44 minute show would yield an 18gb AVI file using the MJPEG codec. After using TMPGEnc to encode it though it was reduced to 1.8gb.

Look, we're getting completely off the subject. He's not working with a 700mb divx he's got a WMV that he want's to convert to DVD. If he already had an AVI we could go right to conversion to MPG and not even use Stoik at all!
I will say again, that if you use a codec that doesn't compress as much as divx (like HuffYUV or MJPEG) for making the interim AVI (keeping as much quality as possible this way) then you end up with a MASSIVE AVI file made from the WMV, and that's totally expected and normal. THEN when you use TMPGEnc to ADD compression it will SHRINK the MASSIVE nearly UNCOMPRESSED AVI down to a manageable size. Usually the resulting MPG (that is then used to author into video_ts) is 10x SMALLER than the AVI you started with.
I've done it 100's of times and have 100's of discs done this way, so take that as you will.

Well, actually, I created an AVI, but that was out of sync, so I need to either convert WMV to DVD compliant, or create an AVI that is not out of sync that I can then author to DVD.
I will defer to the experts in this forum as to the best way to achieve my desired end result.
I looked at the various codec options in Stoik, and I had no lue which to use.
As far as running the file through k lite to correct the out-of-sync problem, I have not tried that yet, though I would appreciate a little more detail (i.e.: Do I run the file through before or after converting to AVI?)
