It's got an amazing number of options. I recently discovered that what I
thought was a long-standing bug was just my using the wrong default value
of one of those options.

Seems to rely on mplayer/mencoder and transcode

I would recommend you to download and install the VSO ConvertXtoDVD on your system for this since this apppication will definitely help you to create your dvd you do not need any external codecs like the avi codec. You can also Create DVD menus with different templates available, possibility to add background video, image or audio, have chapter and audio/subtitle menus.
