Read http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm . My opinion is: making a DVD from an AVI is useless (even if this point of view isn't much popular): since the quality has already been ruined by the AVI compression, making a VCD from an AVI is more than enough. I prefer VCD to SVCD for the same 'quality' reasons and because 1 CD = 50' SVCD = 80 VCD.
