Re: transcode mpeg2 to avi

From: "uropeydceq@xxxxxxxxx"

My purpose here is to create low resolution
proxies of the original mpeg2 files. The proxies need to
be encoded into a movie format that is commonly found on
a Windows PC.

Then your best bet is MPEG1 and not AVI because AVI is only
a container format that can contain arbitrary data and,
while AVI may be supported out of the box, decompression of
the specific audio/video formats contained in it may be not.
More specifically, Windows does not come with any good
modern video codecs except WMV and WMV is not well supported
in AVI and its support varies greatly with the WMV version.
However, you need third-party components (whether DirectShow
filters or custom frameworks) to create MPEG1 files. Your
other choice is to use WMV/WMA in WMV files which, if you
choose an old version, is supported well enough.
