Typically I do a few things.

This tutorial is great...

Essentially the steps are:

1. Convert .avi file to MPEG2 format with correct audio codec.

2. Create DVD with correct formatting.

I do step one using the above-listed article.

Here's teh command line I use

mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf
scale=720:480,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=1
8:aspect=16/9:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192 -ofps 30000/1001 -o file_out.mpg
file_in_original.avi

(I'm in the US, so I'm on NTSC.)

I then create a DVD out of my file(s) using KDE DVD Authoring Wizard.

HTH!

Hi

Phew. That sounds complicated. I just burn the .avi as a data dvd. It plays
fine on my dvd player. Does the method above get better quality?

Confused because I think I may be missing out on something!
