Did you scan your AVI for bad frames before doing anything else? (Bad frames is a highly probable cause for your encoding to stop in the middle.)
What guide did you follow when doing your AVI to DVD project?
What codec's used for audio in the source AVI? (Probably some that TMPGEnc doesn't handle.)

I agree with Mats,but check in the VFAPI environment that "direct show" is on first priority
