Creating a DVD from .avi movies?

[Christian Hammers <ch@debian.org>]

Hello

Can anybody recommend me a working solution to easily make DVDs from normal
avi movies (DivX5, XviD with AC3 or mp3, the usual stuff...)?

So far every program I tries crashed somewhen in between or was too low level
to be used with fun (mencode/transcode).

thanks,
