This has stumped me. I have TV episodes that were saved as .avi's. I have the proper codec to play the files through Quicktime, which I believe is irrelevant. I am buring with Toast 7.

I want to get 3-5 episodes per DVD, however the 300 MB avi episodes somehow enlargen to only allow 2 of them to burn to one DVD.

Anyone have any thoughts as to how I can get more episodes on a DVD?

Not somehow enlarges, you are re-encoding them as MPG so that they are DVD compliant. Divx AVI is highly compressed and uses much less bitrate than Mpeg-2. That's why you can get 1 hour of good Divx to be 350MB but a good hour of DVD will be 1.5GB or more depending on the bitrate. Your software is throwing high bitrate at these tiny episodes, maybe because you have the quality settings cranked.
If you want an easy way to watch these on your DVD player, get one for $75 that plays Divx. I have suggested this 100 times, and I will continue to do so because it's so much damn easier and a lot more fun to WATCH the video instead of humming an hawing and bothering to convert it.
Unless you want to get more involved with manually converting so that you can maximize space, I'd either deal with 2 episodes a disc, or get the Divx capable player and just burn 10-12 episodes on a disc as AVI and watch that way.
