AVS lets me set the video width & height, so I'm okay there. Alas, I 
can't set fractional frame rates, so 30 FPS is what I start with.

Audio output is a 48 kHz WAV, what considerations do I have where that's 
concerned ?

Thanks for the tip re: HCenc. I opened the GUI under WINE without 
troubles, but I haven't tried using it. I'll try it after teaching tonight.

My current method of Kino-to-DVDStyler works, but the resulting video is 
not good, definitely nowhere near as good as the original AVI. I'll be 
investigating ways to improve the quality. I take it that expensive 
higher-quality encoders are out there ?

Best,
