avs graber
I tried the avs graber on my pc, it worked but it block after a few seconds. Is it a problem of power.
And in fast reaction presets, the precision is not good. Is it a problem of video card ?
Is here any codec to grab the avi files in a good quality and that would work with a not very powerfull pc, because I need to export the avi files to create a
dvd.

(I assume you mean PSU power) no

any normal codec would also work for AVS grabber

A good processor during the recording is a must here to increase the rendering speed (more FPS), especially if you want to put it on a DVD.

I strongly recommend you record it on another (faster) system if you're able to.
If that system doesn't have a DVD recorder, copy the .avi file to your own system and record the DVD there.

The amount of time a codec spends encoding a video frame is in general directly proportional to its compression ratio. The fastest option is to use a really raw format then re-encode it afterwards.

Video encoding is both memory and cpu intensive by default, even in a raw format, so it is likely you will still have some jerkyness/loss of responsiveness.

With AVSgrabber, though, I have had more success with the MS MPEG-4 codec than any other (most others seem to crash for me after a couple of frames). Its reasonably fast, but since I don't have an especially slow system to test with I can't really speculate on how well it scales.

Hope this helps
