TMPGEnc is an excellent MPEG-1 / MPEG-2 encoder by Hiroyuki Hori. The encoder is extremely versatile, and is capable of producing MPEG for just about any need imaginable.
MPEG2 support is limited to a 30 day trial period, but you can purchase a commercial version of TMPGEnc, called Tsunami MPEG Video Encoder from Amazon that supports unlimited MPEG-2 encoding as well as various other features that the basic version doesn't have.
You should also read our DVD ripping guide that covers basic TMPGEnc usage as well. Read it from here. Another recommended article tells you how to convert your DivX videos to VideoCD format using TMPGEnc. Read it from here.

I have spent the past couple of days looking for a good program to convert AVI to MPeg, and until discovering this one, had almost given up hope.
If you want an uncomplicated AVI conversion, this is for you.
The only thing I quibble with about it is the lack of documentation and the interface, otherwise it would be a five stars prog.
I spent DAYS trying to figure out how to properly scale a 16:9 and export a VOB as a lower resolution MPEG for a web page. I tried perhaps 10 different programs.
I had tried and abandoned TMPGEnc, but I eventually went back to it and noticed that you could change the window resolution and PREVIEW the output in one sub page.
Thankfully, in that particular window WYSIWYG... Problem solved! It also allowed adjustment of the audio track, fixing a delay that I wasn't looking forward to trying to find a program what would work to fix that either.
All in all, it's a little kludgy and has poor documentation, but it get's 'er done!

When attempting to open the file I get an ERROR saying it is unsupported.
wtf? is this a bug? POOR PROGRAM OVERALL!
Check out Sefies guides they are great.
Basically you Rip, Frameserve, encode and burn.
Yes the encoding is dependant on your CPU and as such with an AMD 2.6 takes around 1.5 hours, with a Celeron 900 around 6 hours, I know I have used both.

I tried one of the commercial packages, boilersoft AVI to DVD's unregistered version as a substitute and it worked great. Only you have to actually register to copy without the banner. Last thing I want is my name in a companies database when they decide to hand it over to the movie industry to track down potential video pirates.
The one free route that would work would be to encode the audio with the boilersoft product, and the video with TMPGen. However, that brings me to the other problem with TMPGen. It is horribly slow. It would probably take me two days to author a single DVD.
