Problems converting Xvid to Mpeg or Mpg with ffmpeg

I have read all the forums on this and also tried transcode..

It was my first attempt tryin' this

Just doing ffmpeg -i movie.avi I get this info

bash-2.05b$ ffmpeg -i b-blatria.avi
Input #0, avi, from 'b-blatria.avi':
Duration: 00:59:40.3, bitrate: 1639 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, 608x256, 23.98 fps
Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5 channels, 448 kb/s
Must supply at least one output file

Only thing i want to do is take it from a avi and put it into mpeg so I can put it onto DVD format using DVD Styler. It only accepts Mpegs or MPG files not avi from what I have seen and tried

If I do ffmpeg -i movie.avi movie.mpeg I get this error

Error while opening codec for stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

I have tried putting in the exact HxW nothing

I just want to change it to mpeg and keep the same settings.. I don't care if it's bigger in size.. Just want to make it into mpeg or mpg

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance,

You can't put ac3 into a .mpg file.

Try:
