Is there a giude/tutorial for your suggestion?
virtualdub/ temeg /tempeg dvd author.

This is how Baldrick has us convert AVI to a compliant MPEG-2 DVD file.

And this is how Chupes has us use TMPGEnc DVD Author to make the MPEG-2 File a DVD.

Thanks for the links ,pretty strait forward when u know what u are doing.
One last question. Does the audio need to be converted? virtualdub was mentioned in baldricks reply
Cheers

TMPGEnc usually does an okay job of converting the audio for you (and you can plugin external apps like LAME mp3, tooLame and SSRC which some people say do a better job than TMPGEnc's internal audio engine.)

Sometimes (i.e. if you have A/V sync problems, or TMPGEnc won't take the avi's audio as a source), it's best to split the audio out (with VirtualDub or GoldWave probably the easiest ways) and decompress/normalise it first, then feed it into TMPGEnc as the audio source.

No offence, but all this stuff has been covered a gazillion times in the guides and in the forum. Do some searches.

cheers,

Thanks for the help all
I take your point about it being covered a gazzillion times in the forums, but thats just it "a gazzillion times " and all different.
I just wanted a simple package that i could use without being bambuzled.
Anyway Thanks again all
