Until now I was working with avi files that had ac3 soundtracks and I pretty much mastered the way to deal with them using Vdub---Ac3fix-----and finally TDA to combine it with the .m2v file.
Now How do I go about non ac3 files, as I was reading that audio encoding in Tmpgenc is not recommended and TDA will only accept ac3 or PCM audio formats for dvd burning.
Do I need to extract sound from avi files and then save it in .wav format? How do I convert to PCM?
What is the best way to deal with these files to burn them on a Dvd.

TDA will accept AC3, WAV and MP2 audio so you have a few choices.
You can use VirtualDub to extact the audio from the AVI file as a WAV file, then use a tool such as ffmpeg to convert the wav file to either MP2 or AC3. -
In virtualdub goto audio>full processing mode. goto conversion settings make sure its 48000 hz stereo 16 bit, if not enabler the ocnversion.
Click file>save wav.
Then encode using besweet or headac3he -

I extract the audio (of course many apps will do this - VDub is good) and my audio is already 48000 hz, but I know there are numerous programs to resample, if needed and there is a "donate ware" plugin for Nero at http://neroplugins.cd-rw.org/ , if you have Nero. You can then use Nero's Wave Editor to convert to AC3. I have been using this method for the past couple of weeks, and thus far, all seems fine.
