for speed and quality HCenc and Mainconcept would be my choices, for me CCE requires too many setting changes to get desired results and TMPGEnc takes too long.

This is what i do to make my AVI or mp4 files DVD
-extract wav from file in virtual dub.
-make audio AC3 224kbps with besweet using Belight. (includes framerate conversion of audio)
-encode video with Hcenc
-use IFOEdit or muxman to author the files to dvd.

rhys87,

That extra step you take "extracting the audio" using virtual dub & Belight, is that nessasery to convert (or can u simply use AVI2DVD to handle this)?
If not, does it make a huge difference in audio quality ?

Also I assume when you say: "-encode video with Hcenc" you mean using AVI2DVD ?

yeah you can use avi2dvd and use HCenc in that just set it to best and the matrix default at MPEG. I extract the audio and use HCenc by itself because i have had problems with programs like avi2dvd, thefilmachine and DIKO.

As far as quality goes is one superior to another (TMPG vs. AVI2DVD) ?

if you set TMPGEnc to 2pass VBR and the motion search to very high it would probably look better than alot of encoders BUT the amount of time it takes is not worth it.

For my best,the WinAVI video converter is.
It can convert all formats to MPEG1/2, VCD, SVCD, and DVD and burn to VCD, SVCD, or DVD disc. And most important,it has high quality and fast speed.

Hi all. First post.
BeSweet accepts the following filetypes as inputs.
AVI - ".AVI" with AC3/MPx/PCM soundtrack.
In a some cases don't need to extract the audio to WAV first.
Set: -input "c:\work\test.avi" or whatever and it should be good.
Agree totally with rhys87 about Hcenc.

Personally, I usually extract the audio as mentioned in the above post because in some cases, my audio and video would get out of sync. Extracting the audio usually eliminated this (this problem occured with my slow athlon xp 1900, but I haven't had the sync problem since I upgraded to an athlon 64) - I guess processor speed helps alot, since audio and video do require a lot of processing power.
