Taking an .avi file then converting (compressing) to a .mpg format. In reviewing the .mpg file, the music was slightly garbled. What can I do to not let that happen to the music in the conversion process?

Thanks

What program/settings are you using to convert the avi file to mpg? Why are you converting? What are you really trying to do? Are you trying to create a DVD?

I am using a program called "avi2vcd." My avi files are two large for one DVD.

I created these files with Windows Movie Maker. I added music (wav) to these files. I then saved files as avi files.

I then converted these file to mpg with avi2vcd. There is no settings available with avi2vcd.

When play the mpg files, the music is slightly garbled.

My operating system is XP Professional, Processor is 2.40 ghz, 1gig memory.

You cannot use avi2vcd to create a mpg file for DVDs it only converts to mpeg1 format which can only be burned to a CD.

You have to bring your avi file into DVD Builder to be able to burn to a DVD.

File size means nothing, its the timelength that is the important factor. A standard 4.7GB DVD will hold 60 minutes of "Best" quality video. By using lower quality settings you can get up to 2 hours of video on a DVD but at reduced quality.
You can also use DVD Builder to create an iso (image) file and then use DiscCopier to burn that iso file to a DVD. If the video is longer then 60 minutes, DiscCopier will transcode the iso file and fit the video to the DVD.

I have moved the topic to the Videowave/DVD Builder forum since it is mainly a video problem not audio.
