Currently I'm using WinAVI, but I'd like to know what do the rest of you guys here use and which AVI2DVD software is most popular or has the best features?
Doesn't matter if it's freeware or licensed software.

I personally like to use DVD Flick, as it outputs great quality and supports removable subtitles.
...Oh, and is FREE (even though you say it doesn't matter!) I am a scroogy b@%$!d !
I have used Winavi efore, however, I gave up on it after a few out of sync audio/video conversions; plus, the subs with WinAvi are embedded. I also have 2 other freebies, Any_Video_Converter and Super . These two have more options for converting between different formats.

Cool I'll try those 3, yeah WinAvi seems a bit cheap & shoddy that's why I wanted to try something else.

It's all cool, I was just kidding about the salesrep thinggie.I am just curious why people would pay money when about anything can be acomplished with freebies.(and I am not talking about downloading off a torrent or crack&crap stuff, just plain freeware!)

Yeah he did seem like a sales rep. lol..
Anyways I got my hands on DVDFlick and Convert XtoDVD, I tried both out, I have to say I'm astounded with DVDFlick.
It gives unbelievable quality, has excellent compression ratios, and it does everything; converts, authors and burns!
Burnt about 5 DVD's with it so far, all work superb, quality is as good or better than DVD video. Very simple to use too.
Thanks guys, looks like I found a new favorite..

To that, I would like to add the "free of charge" feature!
I watched all my DVD Flick creations on a flat big screen TV. Can't tell is from an avi. If it is a small avi, regular Divx, I use "High Quality" -2 Pass. If is a large avi-I have some UltraDivx movies at about 1.3 Gb, excellent quality, then I use one pass with Flick. Plus, I watch tons of asian fu movies that require subs, never out of sync or anything.

Yeah that's what I mean, most of the DivX movies I've converted looked better than DVD.
I used 2 pass encoding, avg. bitrate @ 5700kp/s, looks fkn incredible. Only problem is there's no way to add menus and such is there?

No, no menu option. That's the only thing missing.Nero Vision has that option, but most of the time sucks at everything else. ConvertxtoDVD I think has the option, but is not a freeware.

you know i've used dvd flick also and while it was easy to use, i had a problem with quality.
I used windows movie maker to pull video from our mini dv camcorder as an .avi file. the video looks great watching it on windows media player...then when i use dvd flick to burn it to a dvd everything works fine but whenever there is movement on the screen it gets these horizontal lines going across the screen. Am I doing something wrong? the original avi does not have this problem only when burned to a dvd. Thanks!

Skip, freeze could be due to poor quality media, burning too fast, multitasking during burn, fragmented HDD.

Try deinterlacing the source video. Click the "Edit Title" button and it should be somewhere within those options.

As Cyprus rightly said, it's probably the fact that your burning too fast or using crap media (discs). Try burning at the slowest possible speed and use high quality stuff like Verbatim, Ritek, Sony, etc..
I haven't had any problems with DVDFlick so far, every movie has been 10/10 for me.

I don't know why! because...you were not aware of it maye:~)!
I came across it while reinstalling DVD Flick(some sort of bug, everytime i would try to edit the subs, it the Flick would just close).
With menus, subs,multiple input formats, and all the improvements, Nero Vision doesn't stand a chance, and a great competitor for ConvertxtoDVD, which is not free.
I am gonna see how this beta version is doing right now on a high quality DivxUltra avi that I have.

Lol.. don't get smart.
Hmmm it seems you can't choose a custom template of your own, though.
I had a look around in the DVDFlick template's folder and you'd have to create several images and add font files for DVDFlick to create a proper template.
Kinda sucks.. since the templates they have currently aren't the greatest, but I'm sure this will change with future versions.
But yeah, this thing is definitely superior/on par with Nero and VSO now.
