There are 2 ways you can approach this task
1. simply burn the avi files as DATA on to a DVCD-R or +R and then you can
play it in any modern DVD player that is DivX or Xvid capable.
or
2. Author a DVD using programs like NeroVisionExpress or my favourite for
this type of episodic compilation VSO ConvertXtoDVD. Simply add each file as
a separate title and away you go - on my system a 3 hour compilation takes
about 1 hour 10 minutes to complete. ConvertXtoDVD allows for a simple bmp
or jpg backdrop for the menu and you can select chapters based on a every x
minutes etc.
