Am regularly converting mpeg2 DVB (SD TV) recordings to Xvid/MP3. SD=720x576. I use PVAStrumento to demux the recording into show.mpg and show.mpa Recording is in Nebula "DVD mode".

Then Avisynth 2.5
video=DirectShowSource(show.mpg,25)
audio=MPASource(show.mpa)
audiodub(video,audio)
LanczosResize(592,336)
Load this .avs into Virtualdub, set up XviD and MP3 and go.

It works quite quickly and resulting avi looks excellent and has sound in synch.

YET a number of guides refer to using DVD2AVI to create a d2v file for further processing. Do I really need this d2v file?? :confused: Any other comments on they way I do it? Thanks.
