Authoring a DVD from old AVI footage requires MPEG-2 program streams, which is exactly what an AVI to MPEG conversion produces. Camcorder captures and DivX-era downloads take this route on their way to a disc that plays in a living-room machine.

Why convert AVI to MPEG?
- Prepare digitized home video for authoring tools like DVDStyler or DVD Flick, which build menus around MPEG-2 input.
- Play files on set-top DVD players whose firmware handles MPEG program streams far more reliably than quirky AVI files.
- Produce material for legacy broadcast or cable-insertion gear that ingests only MPEG-1/2.
Tip: Stick to DVD-legal settings — 720x480 for NTSC or 720x576 for PAL and a video bitrate under 9.8 Mbps — or the authoring software will re-encode the file a second time.
