This link...=20 http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/511457.html=20 ...gives some very basic instructions, but read the manpages for all the nifty=20 options. It's three steps from avi to dvd. 1) tovid converts the avi to mpeg, 2) makexml produces an xml script to feed into makedvd and 3) makedvd splits the mpeg into all the TS_VIDEO/VOBs and whatnots and = can=20 leave with with either a raw directory structure, an ISO file, or burn = it=20 straight to dvd for you. David --=20 Sure God created the world in only six days, but He didn't have an established user-base. _______________________________________________ Does this app only do AVI to MPEG?
