i'm trying to make a dvd of various music videos in various mpeg forms (avi, mpeg2, mpg, etc.). so far, the only way i can get it to work is by converting the files into .mov files with ffmpegx. i burn with toast. is there a better/quicker/better quality way to do this?

first off, avi is not an mpeg format, and you should be able to convert the avi into a .mov and then drop it into the video tab in toast with the mpegs to burn.

you can use different apps, my usual is divx doctor, that converts the .avi into a .mov, then if you really wanted to, you can use quicktime pro or a few other apps that will convert the .mov into an mpg.
