after you have encoded both files to mpeg2, then you have a few programs that you can use.
shrink
nero recode
tmpgenc dvd author
If you check the guides tab out at the top of the page , have a read off the TMPGEnc dvd author guide.If you still have questions just repost and we will see about helping you with the next step
Just to add on cougar_ii's comments (who's been so enthusiastic about VSO): I've tested VSO (commerical version) just recently. For encoding, it's slower than the freeware version (about 1:1 time on my machine), but is even more effective. I have a couple of avis that all other converters had difficulties working with, yet VSO (commercial version) still managed to convert without any problem. On the other hand, it's only average when it comes to burning.
Let me repeat, re. encoding, I think VSO (commercial version) is by far the best --- not the fastest, but the surest.
Re. burning, I tested it on one real cheap blank dvd, worked on my newer dvd player, but not on the older one. With e.g. Nero or Decrypter, worked on both.

Just wanted to make sure you are aware, but the demo version adds a watermark to your output, making the conversion 50% slower then when you purchase it.
I never really tested the demo, so not sure how slow it is :)
On my P4 (3.2 Ghz) pc, I usually hit around x1.6 (45fps) average.
