What program is the best to convert avi-files to mpg. Anybody have any experience with this?

DVD2SVCD in combination with Cinemacraft Encoder 2.50

jep - best combination with CCE 2.50
TMPGEnc is free, but CCE is thrice as fast and gives much better quality (2-pass encoding with an Athlon XP 1800+ takes about 5 hours for 100min of AVI, including Audio etc.)

Thx for the tips

Be sure, that you only use Version 2.5 of Cinemacraft Encoder. All newer Versions will cause Problems with DVD2SVCD.
