Video Converter

I prefer WinAvi the conversion speeds of 20 minutes is amazing,
it compares to VSOs ConvertXtoDVD, but the new version WinAvi 8, produces
a file size half that of WinAvi 7 and any rival, IMO that important,
but WinAvi do not mention it anywhere.

the same input avi size, output DVD size.

WinAvi 7. 4.10 GB

WinAvi 8. 1.70 GB

ConvertXtoDVD. 4.29 GB

Im a little confused. Im assuming youre recommending the software?

smaller files = higher compression = more loss.

Or...

smaller files = highly lossy compression.

At the end of the day, if I want to make a dvd... Ill fill 4.5gb, not 1.5gb seems somewhat pointless to do otherwise.
