It's possible that your results are normal. It depends on what codec the original AVI file used. http://www.vcdhelp.com has guides on using TMPGenc to encode. Sorry, but the final MPEG-1 will not be as good as the original AVI. VCD uses low bit rates so it is never as good as the original source. If you use Noise Reduction in TMPGenc it can improve the quality some, but it will take a VERY long time to encode, maybe days.
