What's a good program for converting AVI to DVD?

[Joe Molotov]

I've been using this program called dvdSanta that I got from someone a year or two ago, which on the plus side it's really easy to use and can convert a 700MB AVI file into VOB in less than 30 minutes without causing any artifacts, but on the minus side you can't rewind/fast forward. I don't know what it's deal is, but whenever you try to FF/RW a DVD made with dvdSanta, it skips forwards or backwards by full chapters (5 Minutes). It also doesn't let you set your own chapter breaks.

I've tried the freeware program AVI2DVD, but it can take upwards of 5 hours to convert one file, it introduces compression artifacts, and sometimes it'll give me cryptic error messages and refuse to work. I'd like something that's still easy and quick, but that would actually allow me to FF/RW and set my own chapter breaks. That's really all I want, I don't need anything fancy.

I use nerovision express

you make a little menu, it encodes the video and burns

DVD Flick (open source) is what i use to convert downloaded shows to DVD. Basically just drag them onto the DVD Flick window and tell it to convert them to a DVD. i think you can set chapter points; i really haven't used it for that since the shows are short enough. The only downside is that it's slow -- converting three hours of AVI video on the best quality setting takes something like four hours. i don't make enough DVDs for this to be an issue though.

Thanks, that was exactly what I needed. Plus it turns out I already had it installed with the rest of Nero Ultra that I've never bothered to look at, so that's handy.
