Best video file to DVD burning program? Any help greatly appreciated!

[Bathouse]

Hi guys.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but this is my first post here so I hope you'll forgive me.

I filmed a bit of my holiday to Italy this summer, and after editing it, I now have a few .avi files sitting on my hard drive. What I'd really like to do now is to burn them to DVD, with a smart looking menu at the start to choose different parts of the holdiay to play.
However, I've never really had any success with burning video files onto DVD.
I've used Nero a couple of times a while ago, but the sound track was generally a second out of sync with the picture - and now I no longer have Nero on my computer.
I've also used DVDSanta, but there's no way of making a root menu on it.
I basically would just like to know what program is the easiest to use and is most reliable, and can do what I need.
Feeling a little down about the whole thing now.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,

Matt

Judging by what you've tried, TDA 3 seems to be the next natural step.
If you're brave enough to look beyond one-click apps, and assuming the AVIs you're speaking of is DV AVI, read on under Convert left, DV to DVD. And avoid everything where WinAVI is mentioned.
