do u think it'll take me less than 3 hours to finish it? i'll probably defrag then see what happens because even my burning speed r slowin down

no boss,but 1 gb should be plenty enough,but if your pc aint crashing,then leave it there.
if you have any problems with it,just remove a stick.
anyways,that was getting off topic,
i'd say the speed you got with dvixtodvd sounds about right,if anything,a little on the high side.
try some other apps like suggested,see how you get on
but remember,faster speed does not always equal good quality,
you can have some apps running all day,depending on how many passes you want.
1 pass will give a set bitrate,where as 2 passes gives a variable bit-rate (better quality).
i recently bought a dvix player for £25,now i just burn avi's to dvd,which gives me the same quality as the source AVI file
i get 5-6 avi's on 1 disk.
i know you like free,but they are worth every penny,and i dont know how i managed without one for so long
my encoding days are well behind me,hehehe
good luck

In my opinion, converting something to DVD should be a slow process. This is just because I like to preserve as much quality as possible. Anyways, I think that ConvertXtoDVD is pretty fast. I don't have any experience with Avi2DVD myself. I like to go the lazy man's way.

i used avi2dvd a couple of times,results were ok,
i have pretty much tried most converters,the film machine was another favourite,i used to use that with CCE engine,but the time it took was just too much,
convertXtodvd for me,was the overall winner,good quality,nice speed with a few good features.
@gogochar,i see you added some pictures to your guide :)
a quick tip:
you should play around with format you save the images in,as sometimes .GIF can be a little on the poor side,
(i see you used PNG,was that the most you could get away with?,
using the better JPEG setting can use too much bandwidth on imageshack,which is a pain,
and the image gets rejected.i think imageshack allows 1.5mb per image?
if you can get away with using JPEG,next time use that,the results wil be much better.
when you ctrl/v the screen in paint,you should then click on the dotted box on the top left hand side,then use this feature to highlight which part of the picture you want to save,this will allow you to get rid of the screensaver background you have showing.
by doing this will use less bandwidth when uploading on imageshack
good luck
