I would recommend trying DivxtoDVD. Although it says divx in the name it
will convert other AVI formats and other files to a dvd. This version is
freeware but it will only make the DVD to your hard drive. You then have to
use other software to burn to DVD.

If you like it you might consider buying their pay for version called
ConvertXtoDVD.

It will burn directly to DVD and you can do multiple files with a menu.
