my divx to dvd probs and questions

Whats up guys, i'm sure some of my fellow shroomers have converted divx video to dvd to watch on a standalone player. I found a program called DVD Creator by Xilisoft which I converted a movie with this morning. it took about 2 hours or the length of the movie to convert, but only took up not even half the dvd when done. It made all the vob files but was missing a .ifo file and when I went to burn it Nero gave me a crazy error but i burned it anyway. It did work, even in my sisters 40 buck POS dvd player so I was suprised, my main problem when I have tried to convert divx before was that the audio didn't sync with the video but it is synced fine.
The movie does show pixelation, especialluy in dark scenes. I think because the program I used to convert it just compresses the video too much.
I mean someone takes a dvd and turns it into a avi and uploads it to the internet.
Now why when I convert it back to a dvd is it smaller and less quality (as far as the pixilation)
Is this program that I am using just crap
Or is there something else that I should run the vob files through before burning them as a dvd video?

I don't know anything about the program you are using, but just remember someone took a 4-8 GB movie, converted to maybe 600 MB to 1.5 GB maybe, then you are coming back and converting back to several GB, to be DVD compliant. The 2 programs I use are dvix2dvd, and winavi, but I bet yours are just as good.
Once that first person ripped it down, that movie could never have what it once had. IMO

I have been using xillisoft and it works beautifully. I just did pristine copies of Saw 4 and I Am Legend. They look flawless. I am gonna do the entire Weeds series next. Weeds is an amazing show, they really did thier research into cultivation and all, you wouldn't catch the terminology if you were an average viewer but if you have grown anything before you really appreciate it. Best thing Showtime has ever done IMHO.
