I think there is a better way, using the new Roxio EZ Media creator..
Open the DVD builder, and import the avi you want to clip....there is a command in the File menu that lets you burn the saved "clip" directly to the DVD once you have saved it...If you don't want to burn immediately, just save it to a local directory..
It re-encodes it on the fly, so you SAVE a step or 2 in the process, if you are planning on burning directlly after re-encoding
I used to do it the same way you guys are, but this seems to work well.
Good Luck!
