    I am trying to burn buffy season 1 onto dvd, its all avi files, and im wondering, what is the best way to do this. I want to fit as many files as possible onto each disk, and im not overly concerned with quality(it doesnt have to be perfect) I just want to get them all onto disk and use few. What should i do/use

    Get tmpgenc plus.
    Get the "Half D1 KDVD template".
    Encode your avi's using this template in tmpgenc.
    Author them all to your hard drive, in something like DVDLab or Tmpgenc DVD Author. These programs will let you have a menu, to choose which episode to watch etc.
    If it's too large to fit on one disk, use DVDShrink to make it fit.
    Burn with whatever software came with your burner.

    This is probably the best quality method you'll find, and still fit a whole season on one disk.

    I usually use at least 3 disks for a full season (roughly 6 episodes per disk, at 45 minutes per episode).

    Anyone ever tried this method? I'm just curious about the final quality.

    i am an user of [bold]imtoo[/bold] avi to dvd converter.it is a fast and easy to use AVI to DVD burner and AVI to DVD maker. It can convert and burn MPEG, DivX and AVI to DVD that are playable on home DVD player, so you can play it on home DVD player.
    it provides many brilliant DVD menus for your DVD authoring, supports DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW. So easy to use and fast in speed that just one click is enough to make and burn DVD!
    It allows you to specify NTSC or PAL format, adjust 4:3 or 16:9 video aspect, and burn either DVD disc or ISO file. By setting bit rate and frame rate, you can get excellent quality on TV screen.
