Hi jammiev,

Please check your .avi with a free tool called GSpot to see what codec is needed ( Divx, Xivd...), download and install it, and follow blutach's recommendation

tmpgenc is better quality, and 8 hours is normal :)

In the audio tab/audio edit of Tmpgenc Plus change the volume to 200% usually balances TV sound level with the DVD sound level.

Also, in the video tab under motion search precision using high quality slow for a two hour movie gives great results on picture quality with a four hour encoding time.

In the video tab under rate control mode using constant bitrate (CBR) will decrease encoding time.
