Converting WMM project into DVD-Encoding?

[Guest]

Hello,

I am new on this post.
I got this understanding reading some posts from JK and Rehan that after
editing movie in WMM and converting it into DV-AVI, you can directly burn it
on the DVD with DVD software. so Which is best DVD software that can handle
DV-AVI to burn DVD for stand alone DVD players.
I also got confused while reading Papajohn.org and RehanFx explaining
another step which is Encoding to mpeg-2.
We don't need that step with the DVD software?

thanks in advace for all you guys.

There are some do-it-all apps, but generally
there are at least two discrete steps.
You DO need to reencode your HQ AVI to
mpeg2 DVD. Something like Tmpgenc can do this.
The mpeg2 encoding is not free, but there might be
a trial.
After the mpeg is created, the file is then authored,
(using a simple program like Tmpgenc DVD author)Where you create
menu's, chapter stops, etc,etc.
