Convert AVI movie to MPEG2 movie?!?

[skiddy]

hi,
iv got a 2hour movie on my computer that iv taken from my video camers andf it is on a AVI format and is 22GB, Big, i no!

Now, i want to convert it to a Mpeg2 movie file because thats the only way i can burn it onto a DVD +r disc. converting the file to a mpeg2 will also make the file smaller.
i will then have to compress the mpeg2 file furthur for it to fit and burn it onto a 4.7gb DVD disc.

any programes or softwares that can enable me to do this?
thanks in advance,
Skiddy

I think www.DVDsanta.com will do it.

i would use nero .convert it to dvd & save to file(it will save as a video ts folder on hard drive)then use dvd2one to compress it to desired size.(4.2 gig)then burn the new resized video_ts folder as data disk .it should work fine???i think

:thumbs I use AVI 2 DVD its free its fast and the quality is second to non. Also use ace mega codec with it. Here are the links to both.

Its best if you use both together

Thanks for all the responses,
i managed it in the end by using the video editing programme that i used which was 'Adobe Premiere Pro', brought the 22gb file down to 3.49gb were as some programmes i used only compressed the file to 15gb, 11gb and 9gb which doesnt fit on a DVD.

Thanks again,
Skiddy
