can anybody recommmend me freeware software that can convert AVI file to MPEG-2 and burn as the MPEG-2

Converting AVI to DVD/VCD (and authoring the same) is not even related to burning.
If you look over left, there's a section named CONVERT. There, you'll find plenty of guides (and suggestion for software to use) for AVI to MPEG-2/DVD
The simplest solution is to use divx2dvd, then imgtools classic to create an ISO, and finally imgburn to actually burn it to disc. All free applications.

They all take a long time..Nero is not especially slow

Prepare your source properly first ..... convert AVI to VCD-compliant MPEG1 (TMPGEnc has a free version, last free version of VCDEasy to author) or DVD-compliant MPEG2 (divxtodvd, or alternatively Quenc, and dvdauthorgui to author) then burn (and only burn) with Nero.
