For their size, AVI files can be excellent quality and you can fit between three and six good quality movies on a single dvdr disk. avi.NET also allows you to select different audio tracks if you require and even choose subtitles to encode into the AVI file. avi.NET allows you to encode an AVI using the latest versions of either the DivX codec or XviD codec. Requires .net framework.

My NTSC dvd project needed converting, and an avi or H264 encode was the aim as it was too big for standard dvd disc. I kept seeing awful color banding using the revision of H264 FU Wizard uses, so I used its built in Xvid and it was the same using matrices mpeg2 default and later its H263 too. Ivtc and decombing was done admirably with FU, but decided to give the much praised AutoGK a whirl.
The analysis showed Pure FILM and I encode at 100% quality the result was surprisingly, truly bad with loads of left over uncombed frames. I tried a few other of those Chinese do all e.g Wondershare, Wonderfox, Digiarty and the result was all sucked bigtime quality wise as well.
Finally whipped out the old program called Avi.NET, set it at Q1.5 setting with the deinterlace option on, and the result was excellent which surpassed all even the H264. Granted the file was much bigger. Avi.NET also proved to be the only one which could get the aspect ratio correct as well. Very impressive result! I wonder if this program will work in my Windows 10 desktop?

I had to create an xvid for ease of speed and compatibility for a senior citizen relative who is still using XP-they do! I did have problems though with her NTSC source dvd. I ripped a dvd(she'd previously purchased of course!) to herpc hard drive. I enabled the deinterlace option on Avi.NET and then at the start of the process received a warning message of:
'you are trying to deinterlace an already ivtc'd source.'
I understand inverse telecine well and you should do this pulldown rather than deinterlace and maybe run a decomb too for combing issues like Handbrake lets you do. Avi.NET uses decomb plugin for deinterlace I see. Anyway I knocked off the option and the output was left with slight jagged lines as expected but 23.976 FPS nonetheless from 29.97fps. I also used the deinterlace option later out of curiosity and saw the same message, but got not combing and still 23.76fps. No visible differences between output and the deinterlace option did not ruin the image. I didn't use AutoGK to avoid the use of remove grain plugin on the source which was pristine. Anybody had similar issues like this with strange messages of ivtc? Thanks for any input.
Anyway the software did a good job and everybody is happy.

Previous reviewer must have meant pgc.NET because that is for doing episodic DVD's with avi.NET. I ripped and transcoded hundreds of DVD's to xvid over the years using this and all have come out looking same as the dvd source. Would love to have seen this software continued.

This outputs superb Xvid quality videos from dvd or vob single mpeg2's, than any other software I tried, even using avisynth or fancy filter based tools. Using CladDVD.NET episodes can be done too.
