Encoding to DVD format is a bit of a pain with the current state of Linux encoding apps, so I can't help you much here. Try this tutorial: VideoHelp.com :: View topic - LINUX: AVI to DVD Encoding and Authoring : BASIC You'll need to use your package manager to install the appropriate software needed to do the tutorial, so if you're using (K)ubuntu use Adept or Synaptic, if you're in Mandriva use the command line urpmi tool or the GUI manager.
