HI i was wondering if anyone can suggest any really good software that will convert an avi file to mpeg2 file where it splits the video and audio into two files. (audio is usually empty) that can then be burnt onto a dvd that can be played on a standalone dvd player.

thanks guys

I have not tried your specific application but I have found a free file transcoder utility capable of doing most any type of file transcode.

Find a free download site for "mediacoder". I think I downloaded it from a web site called soundforge. I know you can find a safe and trustworthy download link at kim kommando's website.

I wasn't sure at first but mediacoder video and audio transcode utilities are pretty impressive.
goodluck

Try E.M. Youtube video download tool.
It can convert avi video to mpg2 video and burn the video to dvd.

You may use aimersoft dvd creator, it can convert all popular video formats (AVI, MP4, MPG, MPEG, 3GP, WMV, ASF, RM, RMVB, DAT, MOV, FLV, etc) to DVD(Mpeg2) and burn DVD movie played on portable and home DVD players, that's reall good for me

I have been looking for a free converter too. So far, i haven't found one that's free and that really works. I'll try those that you've suggested. Hope it works!
