    I do not intend to keep up with the joneses and get any new
    versions of windows product.

    However, I have seen in multiple instances now where
    the programs shown here only work with Win2K or above.

    My question is: which of the avi to dvd progs., both
    freeware and paid work with 98SE?


    ConvertX doesn't and says so. AVI2DVD doesn't and says so.
    Tmp is on that list too.


    What does?

    the problem with 98 is it uses fat32 so cannot handle files over 4gb which limits your ability to create dvd iso's that ussually excede 4gb
    Dvddecryptor i think works with 98 but if I was you I think I would Keep Up With jones's

    Well, my long range plan is to go open source and be able to
    do this stuff in Linux. Trouble is I've spent some time in Linux
    and not got much past the desktop in a variety of distros.

    The situation should change over time. But this reasoning is
    good I guess. So I've have to specify NTFS in formatting rather
    than ext3? That is a question for another day.


    What bugs me about the Nero is that I've had a couple of
    successful jobs then this roadblock.


    Doing an AVI to DVD in Linux is a multi-step process and I
    wish that Afterdawn would get behind this. Wheile there is
    Linux expertise at places like Mepis and others, what is needed
    is the more professional style guides that I have come to rely
    on from Ad.
