putting episodes on a dvd, that wasnt ripped?

[NOSintake]

ok...i did searches and couldnt find what i was looking for, mayb i missed it...mayb i didnt. anyways, i have episodes on my comp (not ripped from a dvd), and i want to put them on dvds. i want it so that each episode is its own chapter, and possiblely a menu, but its not the greatest thing i want. i have around 22 episodes each about ~350MB, so i know im looking at least 2 dvds. oh...not to mention, i dont really want this process to be too hard, because i have other episodes in a different series that i want to do this too. thanks for your help

ok..i just got avi2dvd, but i want to be able to add more than 1 avi file to encode, and just have chapters per episode. like...lets say i want 3 episodes (30 mins each) on a dvd, i want those 3 to get encoded, and i want to have chapters every 30 mins, so i can switch like that. any program able to do that?

Adding chapters is part of the authoring process. A lot of these all-in-ones do both the encoding and authoring processes, which are in fact two seperate steps. If you follow my first link you'll see the encoding side of things.

DivxToDVD will create a new title for each file you feed it, and can handle multiple files. You could then import its output into authoring software and create your menus, chapters etc.
