    use dvd santa to re-encode.
    But NOT to burn.
    Use dvd shrink for the burn.

    For some reason I have had the same problem numerous times with dvd santa,
    But using Dvd shrink for the burn,
    The dvd's came out perfect.

    VSO DivX to DVD.
    If that fails, it's probably because the source has VBR mp3 audio, and you may never get it right.

    You could separate or 'demux' the audio from your XviD AVI into its own file. NanDub will do this.
    It might be a compressed audio file (VBR or CBR) but NanDub will call it a WAV.
    A number of audio tools can decompress that file to a standard fullsize PCM WAV file - I use CDex
    http://www.afterdawn.com/software/audio_software/cd-da_extractors/cdex.cfm
    Fairly quick & easy job; if you could then point your converter at that audio, you would have conversion problems beat :^)
    In worst case, you could even re-interleave decompressed audio back into AVI with XviD video, creating large AVI file (with audio larger than video!) to let your converter work from...
    To convert to DVD, I would use my Nero (NeroVision Express/Recode) but I don't do it much and am no expert.
    I specialize in the opposite - DVD to AVI ;^)
    But good luck, hope this helps...
