V,
We are working on some guides for kvcd'ing. In the meantime you could get familiar with the process of conversion by reading some of the guides listed below.

You would use the KVCD templates though,

Quite simply, you would use the tmpenc encoder load you avi file, choose the kvcd template and encode.

First off though--check the compatibility list- to see if you player is listed as being able to play kvcd's. If you're only playing back on the pc, then you're okay.

And/or dowlonad a sample from the main page
http://www.kvcd.net lower left,,,burn to cdrw using nero or whatever app you'd use to author/burn, and see if it plays on your dvdplayer.

Once you get the basics down, then you can move on to expirement with better quality/longer time conversions etc.....
The kvcd+ templates do a good job of retaining a lot of the original quality, but remember the outcome will depend on the source. Your avi may already be (compressed) lesser quality, than say a dv avi or an mjpg avi (i.o.w. a recently captured/recorded file), or not. :lol:
