There are a Millin Mpeg encoders But only a handfull are any good...I suggest maybe you try "Tmpgenc Pluss/Express" as it is one of the Better mpeg encoders.....

After encodeing to Mpeg-2/DVD you will have to use a DVD authoring Program Like "Tmpgenc DVD author" or "DVDLab" to Put the Mpeg-2/DVD Files on to DVD because you can not simply Burn the Files to DVD and expect them to Play....

Your Files will Grow quite a Bit after encodeing....

Minion, I disagree a little. The quality can only remain equal or decrease during encoding. You cannot increase it.
For this reason I suggest to make AVI --> DVD only for very good AVIs (about 900+ MBs), otherwise, putting multiple AVI-->(S)VCD movies (encoding it with your suggested application) in a DVD (authoring the (S)VCD movies into a DVD-R with DVD Lab) is often enough.

I'm going to throw another couple of options in here :)
I have done many multiple AVI to dvd disks in dvdlab, and here's MY opinion on what works best.
Encode to non-standard mpeg-2 at 1/4D1...that is 352x240/288, which is VCD resolution, but at mpeg-2 bitrates.
Because the aspect is 1/4 size, the bitrate only need be about 1/3 of full D1.
Done right, you can get a reasonable 5 hours per dvdr, at about SVHS quality, which is usually plenty for downloaded avi's.
Capture source video is completely different.
The other option, is to use the halfD1 KDVD template in TMPGEnc, and get up to 16 hours per dvdr, but at SLP VHS quality only.
The FullD1 KDVD template gives about 7 hours per disk.
Often I will author disks slightly over sized, and use DVDShrink.
It's a longer process, and depends on original quality of the source a lot, but you don't waste a full disk (yes, I know they're cheap and all) for one crappy download.
