From avi2mpg1 readme.txt:
            inputfile.avi   A windows avi file (you can now specify multiple
input
                            avi files for encoding to a single output file)
                            constrained to the following parameters:

                                 Horizontal size: < 4096 pixels
                                 Vertical size:   < 4096 pixels

Maybe you have an older version? And only use an uncompressed 24-bit RGB AVI
as input or you won't be happy with the results. If you really want DVD
quality then you might try bbMPEG/avi2mpg2
http://members.home.net/beyeler/bbmpeg.html . I can't really recommend it
since I haven't used it but supposedly it'll turn your AVI's into MPEG-1 or
MPEG-2. Again I suggest only using uncompressed AVI's because recompressing
lossy compression sucks... a lot... the MPEG-1 compression won't know the
difference between the good part of an compressed AVI and the artifacts,
it'll try to compress both equally, and waste a lot of space, and probably
introduce more artifacts.

Good Luck!
