Easiest way to get 2 avi movies to dvd

[chanser69]

Okay, so I've done a bit of converting and have used some programs and consider myself past the newbie stage. I am trying to get avi movies (dvd rips) burned onto dvd's. I know you can fit about 2 2-hour movies on one dvd because I've been doing it for a while. I think I'm going about this the hard way though. Heres how I've been doing it so far....

1) Use TMPGEnc on DVD (NTSC) template setting to create a video only .m2v file.
2) Use VirtualDubMod to re-encode the audio in Lame MP3 128kbit CBR while direct stream copy on the video (since I often get files encoded in VBR and VirtualDubMod gives me an error, not on all files though)
3) Use VirtualDubMod to save the audio stream to a wav under full processing mode.
4) Use batch ffmpeggui XP to convert the .wav files to .ac3
5) Use TMPGEnc DVD Author to make the dvd and insert chapters and such and make it all fancy looking.
6) Burn and watch.

Theres probably a faster and simpler way. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi!my own rips of courseIt would be far simpler then to just use a program such as DVD Shrink to make a backup copy of your original, purchased DVDs...

DVD2SVCD comes to mind with the AVI to DVD boxes ticked - but why don't you compress the heck out of the original DVDs and squeeze the 2 movies on one.
