Ditto. This might be a non-trivial process. DVDs are usually playing MPEG2 format video and AVI is a Microsoft Video for Windows format which they came out with in 1992. It is just a container which can hold mpeg2 and other content types but DVDs are not typically formatted that way. DVDs in addition to being a specific physical media also has an entire spec about how the hierarchy of files is organized and how those files are formatted. So you can't just throw any old file on a DVD disc and expect it to work in a DVD player. That said, I wonder if iMovie could import the AVIs and make a DVD out of them. Or maybe QT Pro could export the AVIs in something iMovie can import.
