Faster encoding

I use nero start smart to encode my movies that are in .avi formatt. Is there a better program that encodes them faster.

 

ConvertXtoDVD is a good commercial product which creates menus and optionally, burn the disk.

The freeware version saves the output to a DVD folder and doesn't create menus.

http://dl.afterdawn.com/vsoDivxToDVD_setup_v0.5.2b.exe
Import the file(s) (AVI, WMV,MPEG, VOB)
Output (standard DVD file format) to a folder on the HDD.
Set 'Aspect' to 4:3 (if you have a regular tv)
Set 'Standard' to NTSC (if you live in North America)

 

Then how do I burn the standard DVD file format?

 

Use 'ImgBurn'.

Run ImgBurn
Click 'Mode' > 'Build'
Click 'Output' > 'Device'
Click 'File' > 'Browse for Folder', highlight on the 'VIDEO_TS' folder, > 'OK'
Set burning speed to 4x and click the green write button.
