Is there some sort of easy way to make a AVI into a ISO with a customizeable menu and such that will work on a standard DVD player? Im asking because .vob files seem to take multiple hours to burn, while iso's take 15 minutes. Any program which could do this for me thats easy to use?

VOB files don't take any longer to burn than an ISO. In fact an ISO isn't a video file format. It's a container - like Zip archives - for holding other files. It's just specific to disc images and has information that tells the burning software how to write the data.

If you want to convert an AVI to DVD format there's no way to do it without encoding to MPEG-2 format in DVD resolution. Different programs will encode at different speeds, but unless you have a fairly fast computer it will normally take at least as long as the running time of the movie - unless you're using CCE to encode (which has a fairly steep learning curve). Once you encode the video you also need to encode the audio, you may need to add pulldown flags to the video, and then you have to author to DVD files. Even if you use a program that just takes an AVI as input and spits out the DVD files when it's done, these are the steps it's going through. If you want an ISO this is an additional step at the end.

IOW if you want to get through the process as quickly as possible you'll need to go through quite a few individual steps and understand quite a bit about video, audio, and DVD authoring. This is all before you burn, whether you're burning from an ISO or just the DVD files on your hard drive.
