Actually, it seems like this may have been done already.  I'm currently using
tovid to convert the avi to an mpg with a command something like this:

tovid -dvd -full -ntsc -in originalavi.avi -out output.mpg

tovid and a frontend called tovidgui can be found at
http://tovid.sourceforge.net/

Once this second file is done converting perhaps I can use dvdauthor or
something to actually make the dvd files themselves and then burn them with
k3b.  Does anyone know if dvdauthor lets you insert chapter divisions?
