I have The Shield downloaded in AVI format and each episode is around 50 minutes long and 350 MB each.

I'm using NeroVision 4 to burn the AVI to DVD-r and I can only get 2 episodes on the disc before the video quality goes down. Even with 2 episodes the video isn't excellent.

I tried converting the AVI to Video-ts files and the using DVDShrink to compress them, however the video does not compress at all. I can take the 350 MB AVI and convert into a 350 MB Video-ts file and then run Shrink but it just makes a backup of the Video-ts file with no compression.

I have always used Shrink and when I put a DVD-9 movie that I bought from Wal-Mart in and run Shrink it compresses to fit on the 4.7 gb media. I'm not geting those results here.

What am I doing wrong? How can I compress an AVI to fit into Vision without a major loss of quality.

I'm going to recommend you make a test disc with about 5 episodes on a disc and see if you can live with the quality. I've never found it to be bad but I'm not all that picky.

The bottom line is you compress video you lose quality.

Thanks for replying!

Ok, here's the sittuation: I have 10 episodes of the Shield I need to burn to DVD and only 2 episodes give me "Good" quality. I put 3 episodes on the DVD-R and NeroVision listed it as "Average" quality.

I think the 3 episodes I burned are decent and watchable, but I wish I could have better.

I can run a store bought dvd through Shrink and come out with perfect quality. I need to figure out a way to compress the Avi's without great loss of quality.

The only other software I use to compress avi files for a dvd is TMPGEnc. I think your aiming for a quality I've never looked for. Personally as long as it was watchable and I didn't have to have one video a disc I was happy.

Give ConvertXtoDVD a shot, you should get 4 episodes per DVD If those episodes are good quality, you should see that but the trial runs at 1/2 speed and will leave a watermark in your video. It's very easy to use and also be all you will need including a simple menu but the burned episodes can never improve on the quality of the originals.

Your Xvid's quality has been comprised. You can't compare it to commercial DVDs and the results you get with them.

That doesn't make sense, converting a 350MB Xvid to a 350 MB mpeg will yield simply horrible results.
