That page looks like it's got some good tips to it, but there are
some [well, I seem to consider] major technical flaws to it... for an
alternative view, try this:

I have instructions on my page (see above) on how to transcode
straight to MPEG2 - no huge AVI's required. I need to change my page

I also have some other links on my page with ideas, too.
