How about giving VSO's DivXtoDVD (http://www.download.com/3000-7970_4-10341695.html) a try?

As far as I'm aware it works with any type of Mpeg4 stream. Even ones within the .MP4 container.

I like CCE, of course so does everyone else, but it's freaking expensive.

I got ahold of a copy, but if you dont want to spend +/- $4k on a program, use QuEnc or HC - both are very powerful free MPEG2 encoders. And of course for the Audio use Besweet. For authoring, I reccommend SpruceUp, it's free, quick and easy (if a bit dated)

There are some nice guides here on Doom9 that detail this process. I recently did some SVCD->DVD work, and the guides were very helpful, as was the Doom9 forum ;)!

An easy to use all-in-one program would be NeroVision Express, which can (I think) take an AVI as input and output a DVD image. Don't quote me on this one.

Anyway, some more options there for you...

Im running NeroVision Express (AVI to DVD) right now out of sheer curiousity for conversion quality. What really suprised me is that if you select NTSC, it encodes to AC3 audio. Might even do that for PAL, i havent tested that yet to be truthful.

Incase someone has the same problems i did with NeroVision, if you get lockups, crashes or weird error messages try this patch. (http://www.nero.com/en/Patch_for_NVE3.html) Works like a charm then.

Axed,

Have you tried VSO's DivXtoDVD (presently freeware), very fast 1hr show/movie in ~ 45min and pretty good quility. Could you compare quility with vision express output.

I actually tried DivXtoDVD, and was amazed with its speed and quality. It's also alltogether way too easy to use. I had a rip that I made awhile back that I wanted to convert back to DVD that was a nightmare to do manually.

It was a 2CD rip - Xvid and AC3 in avi, split into two 700mb files. When I tried doing things manually with avisynth, cce, besweet, and muxman, i had some horrendous audio delay (+/- 2 seconds). It was looking to be a real nightmare to get it right. I dropped the 2 avi's into this delightful little program and 2 hours later I have a video_ts folder compiled that worked completley perfectly, and when burned to DVD+R also worked perfectly on my set top!

The picture wasnt QUITE as sharp as avs/cce with a Lanczos4Resize and some denoising and sharpening, but for the speed and convenience and auto delay correction it was bloody amazing - not like anyone could remotely notice on an old TV connected with composite anyway. Great little program
