    for some reason after i click encode using ffmpegX it won't save the file , so i have no idea where the file is being saved if it is being saved at all, but is there any other program i can use to convert avi/divx to mpeg2 files or what not???

    holy smokes it takes forever in toast to convert an avi file (aprox 650 mb) to a dvd-video, would i get the same results if i converted it to a SVCD

    yes... audio to ac3..

    drop the file into the video tab... toast 7 has a option for it under the video.

    they do take a while to convert/encode
