As a side note, there is a Linux program that will automatically make
a DVD with thumbnails (you can specify one for each input file and or
one every so many minutes), I have used it quite a bit as it is nice to store
camcorder shots :-)

But I converted ASF to mpeg first....

Anyways I am talking about dvdwizard by Wolfgang Wershofen:

Won't help the OP much perhaps, but a very useful piece of software.
Oh, here is a excerpt from one of my scripts:
