Publisher's description
From VMesquita :DIKO Free is an automation tool to convert video to DVD and SVCD, allowing to reach up to 6 hours in 1 DVD-R or 2 hours in 1 SVCD. For each step of this conversion, there's an optimal way to do it and an optimal software to use. But using all software and learning each step to do an optimal conversion is a time consuming task in two aspects: you have to spend a lot of time learning to use the tools and you have to be around to run each tool.
DIKO is like a super specialized robot that does the all the calculations, decides what is best quality wise and gives the right orders to all tools, aiming to get excellent video quality.

Version: DIKO Free 2.26
"Great tool for converting to svcd"
Pros: If you're like me and don't have a dvd burner, but your standalone dvd player can handle svcd format, then you need DIKO if you intend to burn your own films or tv shows to disc. It also can be used for making DVDs although I've obviously not used that feature.
This does the job very well. It consists of a series of freeware programs all working together in the background to produce a .cue & .bin file from an .avi movie which you can burn onto a cd-r or cd-rw and play in your regular dvd player if it supports svcd format (check its specs for that)
Highly configurable, you can adjust settings for widescreen, change between different framerates to adjust for PAL/NTSC (European/North American), do just about anything you need to do to produce a functioning video compact disc.
Great support at their forum and lots of guides and tutorials are also available at sites like videohelp.
There aren't many programs out there that convert to (s)vcd for free... I tried one other and DIKO was by far the better one for me.
Cons: The freeware version is only able to work with 'standard' framerates such as 23.976, 25.00, 29.970 fps. If your .avi is off by even a fraction (I had a few downloaded episodes of a tv show which were encoded at 23.969 fps, something else at 29.971...), then DIKO free won't handle it - you're told you need to buy DIKO Gold for 'nonstandard framerates'. It's not a flaw, just a limitation which I can't really blame the author for.
I would like to give this 4.5 stars but can't do that - it's definitely better than a '4' IMHO so I've given it '5'.

Version: DIKO Free 2.26
Pros: It got farther than any other "free"-ware i've been trying to get to convert AVI to DVD. I liked the interface and the ability to customize a menu.
Cons: A fatal error occurred every time I tried to convert.
