AVI to MPEG-2 converter

Does anybody know of a good AVI to MPEG-2 converter for Linux?  I need to convert an AVI to MPEG-2 so that I can burn it as a DVD video.

Re: AVI to MPEG-2 converter

Absolutely correct, of course, but if you want to make it just a little easier, try tovid, or the anytovcd.sh script that comes with mjpegtools,  which, despite its name, defaults to DVD-friendly format. If you go for for anytovcd, you'll need bfr and y4mscaler from the AUR.
