does anyone know of a avi to mpg converter that i can download? ive got one from cucusoft, but the max speed is 10fps and i have some home vids in an excess of 140000, which can take its sweet time, bout 4-5hours on a good day.
so im just looking for one that converts quicker

VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org/) is what you're looking for.

Have a look through these sites. They should be more than enough.

Isn't virtualdub just good for going MPG->AVI ?

Why exactly do you want to convert to MPEG 1/2 though? And what hardware are you using it on, video DOES take quite a bit of proccessing, so it might be that 10FPS is all you can get for certain resolutions/settings.

QUEnc works lekka, but you need some knowledge of AVS scripting.

TMPGenc worked well the last time I tried it, there's also a free version out now, but haven't gotten a chance to try it yet.

uhm

For virtual dub

Video -> Compression -> xVid *click*

Whats the problem?

AVI is just a container, its still an MPEG2.

oh, well i think im just gonna leave it. its too much effort, i started converting a file last night and when i woke up this morning it was only on 50% and had already used 3gigs.
i mainly wanna copy my home videos, which are avi on my pc to DVD, and yesterday when i tried it it said avi wasnt a compatible format for my DVD disk.
