Is it possible to add you own chapter information instead of the fixed chapters when converting AVI2DVD?
I have a Xvid and I want to give each chapter a different lenght.

Best regards PB

Yes it is. If you use DVDAuthor, the chapter information is contained in the file "DVDAuthor.xml". Just interrupt AVI2DVD after the authoring process has started. Then you can open the XML file in an editor and edit the chapter points manually. Save the file and resume AVI2DVD at the authoring stage.

//EDIT
Resuming AVI2DVD does not work because the chapter points will be recalculated and inserted into DVDAuthor.xml. Open a command window instead and execute "{Path}\DVDAuthor.exe -x {Path}DVDAuthor.xml". You can paste the exact command from the DVD2SVSD log file into the command window.

Good luck
