mmmm....I know this topic is bit old but I like to share with you all.I never try convert avi to dvd but to vcd I have.I have convert a dual audio english sub avi.ogm dvd ripped file to vcd using AVI2DVD.All u have to do is just select the file to convert,chose the format u wantm,vcd or dvd & then choose the audio.You got 2 choice,I choose the 1st 1 & it is in Eng audio,the 2nd 1 is Jap audio.Then choose the encoder,I choose the 1st encoder then choose the subtitles file if got,in my case it dont have any cos the eng sub already in the avi.ogm.After all that done then choose the folder u wanna put the finish mpeg & then press "add work" then press "GO" & let it do all the work,it may take bout 30 minutes to finish convert a 22+ minute file.
So far :
Pro : very smooth convertion from avi.ogm to vcd.The programme is freeware

con : the audio & the video sometimes don't synt (I still haven't solve that 1 yet).There no sub in the mpeg,both eng & jap mpeg

but overall AVI2DVD is a good converting programe,so far so good...the dvd 1 haven't try cos i not sure if my burner can burn dvd-r & i havent try that.
Here the site :
http://www.trustfm.net/divx/SoftwareAvi2Dvd.htmlAnother programme I use is WinAVI,it's also simple to use.1st choose the "convert all to vcd/svcd/dvd" then choose the file u wanna convert(I think u can choose as many file as u like,i have choose bout 5 to 6 avi) then go to setting( i forgot this part,i might edit this post again) then press "convert" or "go" then let it run.I convert 6 avi to mpeg within an hour or 2.
So far :
Pro :it's convert fast,the quality r good.
con :sometimes get this hang screen on the mpeg as u hav a bad vcd,but still can be watchable,this problem mostly happend during Opening then the mpeg run smooths abit some of those hang here & there for a sec or 2.I try convert the dual audio avi.ogm file,the convert fileis o.k but there r no sub title in the mpeg.
