Is there something wrong with the MPEG that you have?
If not then there is no good reason to have "recorded" your
analog TV signal as AVI, and a number of good ones not to.

I would cut out the commercials with www.VideoReDo.com
and Author & Burn with TMPGEnc DVD Author (TDA)
www.tmpg-inc.com . Just put the different sizes in their own
track/title.
