Ive been using and experimenting with TMPGenc and it seems to work pretty good. I mainly use it for changing Divx AVI's to Mpeg
format. Once you locate a copy of it, you can go to www.vcdhelp.com(it might be vcdhelper.com) I have started using it to convert chopped up porn movies from Avi to mpg, to burn for porn compiliation cd's.
