For years I converted all the DVDs I got to AVI files and now that I have a DVD writer I have started converting all the AVI files to DVD using the free version of vso DIVXtoDVD - nice software.. get it here...

Of course there is no real benefit except for my main reason ... BORED !! ... nothing better to do ...... and the other reason - I want to convert all my 2 and 3 disk AVIs and VCDs to single DVDs.

I have too many CDs and want to save on space - I have so many that everytime I get a new CD I have to remove one from my old collection and literally throw it away. I have just converted 9 vcds to fit on one DVD using Nero Recode - lost a bit of quality in the process but it was not important stuff so does not matter.
 
Actually converting divxs to dvds is generally not recommended since divx/xvid both are generally lossy formats and the resultant output is nowhere as impressive as DVDs.

hehe i know but then most movies are encoded into divx/xvid format using DVDs which are based on mpeg 2 which is again lossy. So that encoding from a already lossy format to another introduces more signal loss and artifacts etc.

And like these guys suggest, converting that media (divx) which has suffered high loss to again mpeg 2 isnt going to make matters better. :ohyeah:
