Try VSO's DivxToDVD. The free beta was recently still available on their
site, the supported program is now fee-based.

First: it's way faster than TMPGEnc. Second: the beta has some bugs - the
main one being a time-base correction error which causes the program to LOOP
thru the source material. The error is easily fixed, but you have to be
there ;-0)

In the event that the VIDEO_TS produced is larger than a DVD5 disc, use DVD
Shrink to either reduce the files or split them.
