Freeware to go from xvid avi format to DVD disc?

[aww999]

It seems like a relatively simple task - download video files in AVI format, find out they have ben cmopressed using Xvid codec, then find program which handles xvid inputs and outputs the files onto DVD.

I have spent about two hours tonight trying to find some program that will let me do this without paying forty quid for the priveledge! Anyone got any suggestions?

The 30 day trail of Nero will do it. Handy if you're after a one shot dump or have everything ready to rock.
Erm... iDVD on a mac will do it (with the DivX codec installed)
DeVeDe on a Linux machine will do it...

Are you trying to simply burn an AVI onto DVD, or do you want to re-encode it (to something like MPEG2) so that it will work on your standard DVD player?

I want to play it back on my DVD player downstairs so I can watch it on ym 50" Pioneer screen in stead of my crappy 19" monitor. Nero free version is working well,so thanks for the tip on that one. Depending on how good the end result is I may choose to buy it....
