    First off, a dvd has a storage space of 4.7 gigabytes, so that one little .avi will fit on it easily.
    If you burn it onto that dvd, however, it won't work in a normal dvd player *unless the dvd player supports avi and divx/xvid playback*, so you'll most likely need to convert it to dvd format.
    We have forums on this subject and guides that teach you how to do this, so i suggest you look around a bit and ask questions if needed.

    An avi will not always fit on a DVD after the conversion. Sometimes, you have to lower bitrate for it to fit.

    Look in the software section of this site for a program named J-Fuse. It's only a trial but, it will split and combine files(I think 7 files and the trial ends). Don't like that one? Search Google for "split avi", you'll come up with a couple of pages of software for splitting avi's.

    Maybe you can try winavi.In its advanced option you can select to split the out put file.Maybe that can help you.
    And also you can select "constant video size" for conversion,maybe with this it can burn your avi file into one dvd disc.You can go to here to know more details:http://www.winavi.com/en/video-converter/video-converter.htm
