I was wondering why you want to convert Mpeg2 to AVI & not the other way around because the final format in the DVD is still Mpeg2. I do not have the patience or too lazy to use AVI format. Capture straight to Mpeg2 is still the best for me. In my photograpy circle, my peers are telling me to stop scanning my films into Jpeg & switch to TIF - suppose to give the best resolutions. Still others are telling me to go digital. I don't follow the crowd because I can't afford it & what I am now doing can still make money. Why change?
About motion menu - before I used MF2, I know nothing about DVD authoring. All my DVD are real plain - video starts straightaway without any introduction, not even a title. My Pinnacle Studio 8 have DVD authoring tools including motion menus but I don't know how to use it. Then a friend passed me his copy of MF2 when he upgrade to MF3. After some trial & error & created a few coasters, I got the heck of it. I didn't ask for any assistance from Ulead or anybody. Now every video I do must have menus.
Painfully slow "converting video title"

I don't convert MPEG2 to AVI. Iwas just just making a suggestion to the person posting the problem creating AVI files on DVD. I convert WMV to MPEG2 to create slide shows and convert files that initially come to me in WMV format. Unfortunately I don't have a circle of peers that I can gather ideas from. But I am able to convert just about any image file or audio file to a person's preferences and give them a usable disc. I always prepare my projects to a RW disc and then burn to the customer's desired media format.

I do slideshows too on DVD. I am using Pinnacle Studio 9. I can combine still images with short clips with titles, crawler messages but the best is the transitions. It's called Hollywood FX. I saw the demonstration at a seminar organised by Pinnacle & I got hooked on. I can set the timing for each transition & produce new ones by modifying them on the editor & saved it.
I don't mean to offend anyone but the trouble with this kind of correspondence is that you can't put feelings with mere words. No way to express yourself properly & the other party may see things differently. I am one who likes to share what I know. I learned a lot from these forums & I hope it's mutual.
