convertxToDVD would be a good program for you

I don't think anyone will lead you through this step by step. But basically:

Encode - To DVD compatible MPEG-2 video and audio. See 'CONVERT' <<<<<<

Author - To format the MPEG-2 into DVD format. See 'AUTHOR' <<<<<<

Burn - The DVD formatted file to DVD media. See 'Burn' in 'Tools' <<<<<<

But I agree, ConvertXToDVD is one of the better all in one simple converters for AVI to DVD.

And welcome to our forums.
