So is there an all-in-one instant VCD burning program out there YET?

I've read every little corner of vcdhelp.com

I've downloaded all those free conversion, authoring, editing, and burning programs and used them all...

I've split the audio from the video, converted 'em, and then stuck 'em back together...

I've spent hours waiting for a freaking .avi to convert to .mpg.

AND I HATE IT!!!!!

I just want a program where I can drag-n-drop a .avi, .mov, .mpg, .mpe, .divx, INTO the program, and it will perform all the necessary conversion procedures for me, AND burn it!!!

I'm downloading VOB Instant CD/DVD right now to see if it does something similar to that, but from reading the threads in here, it seems that I will have to go through the same klunky procedure as I've had to do in the past.

Are there any programs that will do allll the conversion and burning in one shot??

alright, well now that I know I *still* have to do it all myself, I have a question.

I chose to avoid all the annoying .mov --> .mpg and .avi ---> .mpg conversion procedures, and just got Quicktime Pro.

The conversion that Quicktime does is HORRIBLE!!!

I hear that Adobe (Premier)? does it easily as well.... does it convert flawlessly, or will I end up with a crappy pixelated blurry-fuzz conversion like Quicktime does?

Just use Chickenmans tuts in the movies section.
There is no better.
It takes time but the results are fantastic.
Any problems just post in the movies/troubleshooting forum.

if it is taking you so long a time, means your PC is old. That is alright, 'cause we all have/had older PCs that take a while. Eventually when you can afford to upgrade your PC specs, do so. Your time spent will be half-1/4 of what it takes you now.

As daveml mentioned though, the easiest methods for the best quality, are the tuts by ChickenMan found here.
There are other methods (including all in 1 programs), but they basically use similar tools packed into one and don't produce as high a quality.
Good luck

I got hold of DVDx2.0 - and reading the notes for some components, they suggest that greater speed can be achieved by avoiding the YUV to RGB conversion - and passing YUV directly to FLASK XIS (one of few that accepts YUV).

My understanding is a little vague - not helped the fact that there's no englis page for XIS.
