Question about final quality

Can anyone please help me and say witch is the best program to convert an avi file into an mpeg 2 DVD ready set of files. many tks

This has nothing to do with DivX Encoding. Moved to Basic DVD Authoring forum. If you've not already seen them, please check out Doom9's .

There are many options, but a good starting point, if you are new to MPEG 2 encoding and need a flexible and reliable encoder, is TMPGEnc. Bear in mind, though, that if you are using a DivX AVI as your source, then this is a very compressed source, so you will never improve upon, and probably rarely ever match, the quality of this source file in your re-encoded MPEG2 file. To get the best possible MPEG2 encode, you need to begin with an uncompressed (or only mildly compressed - e.g. DV, which is 5:1) source file so that your total compression artifacts are minimised. Arky ;o)
