@bel76016,
An easier way to do all this since you dl'ed Nero is to use Nero vision express 3(if version 6) or Nero vision express 4 (version 7) as it will encode the AVI to dvd compliant files (time consuming depending on your system specs). DivXtoDVD is faster :). If the encoded files are bigger than 4.3gigs you can then run your project thru Nero recode which will shrink the file down to fit on a blank dvd and you won't suffer much quality loss. To be honest the avicodec wasn't necessary as you could view the file...that is used to determine what codecs are needed to view the file and what codecs are currently installed on your system. Extra step but hey you now get the gist of the basic dvd authoring steps. DivXtoDVD is now called convertxtodvd and yes once purchased the updates are free. Also both Nero and convertxtodvd do have menu options and you will have to play around with both to get the settings to your liking as guyrus stated. Another brand of top notch media is verbatim and are easily found in most retail outlets. Good luck and remember to stick around as there is a wealth of knowledge in these forums to pick up.
See the 1st link for tutorials on how to use nero; also the guides tab at the top of the afterdawn page. Regarding media you can reference the second link in my signature for which brands are recommended by many who have vast experience in that area.

nero doesnt always encode AVI files the way you want them to.I prefer a dedicated converter, (one that is, its sole purpose is to encode) rather than an application that has heaps of other functions and encoding .It might be just me but never ever had a fiule encode properly.I am using 6.6.0.18 the recode version

As with everything its all in your settings, likes, dislikes so I would simply say play around with different applications that offer trial periods until you feel comfortable and go from there.
@guyrus,
I think the issue with using nero is your settings cause many that frequent the forums that use nero have not reported issues with the encoding. But as you stated its the users preference.

Hi,
First try the free route with dvdfab decrypter from
http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm. If the ripped file in your folder is larger than 4.3gigs then run it thru dvd shrink and set the target output to be 4300mb. Reference the first link in my signature which has several tutorials you can reference.
Next there are 2 programs that I suggest that have a 21 day trial period. They are anydvd and clonedvd2 from http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html. Anydvd is a driver that runs in the background and bypasses copy-protection allowing you to rip your own dvd to your hard drive. Clonedvd2 has several features...one is the ability to remove annoying trailers and FBI warnings. (Also see the 1st link in my signature for tutorials on these 2 programs). Once purchased both have free upgrades for life (well anydvd is lifetime and clonedvd2 has a year though I have not had to purchase another key for the latter).

ok, I have been playing around with my software, here is what i have Nero, DivXtoDVD, AnyDVD and Shrink3.2, these seem to be all working good, I have to use diff ones depending on what i need. I am still playing around with things to understand them but will get there eventually. Thanks for the tips. I use Nero the most but ususally have to use the others at first then Nero to put to Dvd.
