well, theres alot of divx capable dvd players for cheap these days that requires no converting ... but the easiest app to use to convert is winavi ... dont use nero its slow and sucksass for converting ... although u can add multiple avi movie-length files to a winavi single-dvd convert, ther are 2 problems ... one, winavi doesnt make menus so the movies will just play sequentially or have to be fastforwarded to get to the next movie, and two, if you put more than 1 movie on a dvd the quality will be reduced ... when u get to the point of 3 movies in dvd format on a disk the quality level dips to below vcd quality which is bad if your tv is large ... the bigger the tv the more noticeable the quality ... anyway ... if you want to convert avis and put them on a dvd with good quality and a menu heres my method ...you need the ffdshow codec installed on ur machine ... use canopus procoder2 or tmpgenc to convert and u need to use mpeg layer2 sound and keep the video bitrate to about 2500 ... after you have the movies converted to seperate dvd mpeg files use a dvd authoring app to make menus and buttons and settup how you want it to play and add titles, background, music, ect ... tmpgenc dvd author is a good one to start with ...

AVS Video Converter is a perfect tool for this task.
It can convert files in a bach mode, so you can open at once 3-4 ir even more files then convert and burn to DVD. It has integrated burning engine.
The interface is very simple. Take a look http://www.best-video-converter.com/avs-video-converter.html
You will start working from the first launch. The "learning curve" is near zero.
Also it supports virtually all video formats:
- Video: AVI, DivX, XviD (*.avi, *.divx, *.div), MPEG-4, H.264 (*.mp4, *.m4v), MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (*.mpeg, *.mpg, *.m1v, *.m2v, *.dat, *.mpe), DVD (*.ifo, *.vob, *.vro), DV AVI (*.avi, *.dv, *.dif), Quick Time (*.mov, *.qt), WMV, WMV-HD (*.wmv, *.asf), 3GPP, H.263 (*.3gp, *.3g2, *.3gpp, *.3gp2), Real Video (*.rm, *.rmvb), SWF (*.swf), DVR-MS (*.dvr-ms);
- Media: DVD+R DL (Dual-layer), DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, CD-R/RW and DVD-RAM.

Nero or Roxio (I think Nero is faster).
