I just went through the same process I used Toast to compress the file though.
I selected the video tab, then DVD-Video in the formats side bar.
I then dragged the avi to the centre and clicked record, the encoding did take a few hours.
The result was very good.
You can add menus and titles in this mode too.

If you have an authored VIDEO_TS folder, then you could use the Fit-to-DVD option in the DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS format. Then Toast will make it fit.
