You can used MS movie maker to join avi togather and change to mpeg all at the same time. The chapter point in MS movie maker is between avi clip, I not sure they will be preserve in DVD, because I do not think avi ( mostly 320x240 ) look good on TV.

Can you post your viewing result and the size/type TV you used ?

? Neither AVI nor mpg (in fact, hardly any file format at all!) has chapter points - only DVD, VCD and SVCD do (disc formats).

If you have to join the AVIs, you can use VirtualDub: Load first AVI, then add the rest with Append video segment. But all AVIs must share the same specs with respect to audio/video type, resolution, bitrates & c. This is not a VirtualDub quirk - it's the way it works.
But, since your goal is to create a video-DVD, again: There's no need to join the avis. Encode each AVI to dvd mpg specs, and author them together.
