Hi,

As xvid already is mpeg4 (AKA divx) there is IMHO no need to convert
the video stream, if you don't care non mpeg4 dvd standalones can't
handle it. 

BTW: I never saw digi-cams using XviD, if this is no bug in tcprobe,
     which digi-cam do you use?

Fankly speaking that's rubbish. I dunno if transcode will handle
such sound. As I myself often ran into problems using transcode on
sound streams from my digi-cam I prefer to use sox directly on those
files.

If compatibility with hardware boxes is you major issue, you should
use an dvd compatilbe mpeg2 file. I would try something like:

transcode -i $FILE -x auto,null -o video.m2v -y ffmpeg,null -f 30,5 \
          --export_fps 25,3 -Z 720x576 -F mpeg2video -J modfps

(assuming you are @ PAL)

mplayer $file -ao pcm:file=sound.wav -vc dummy -vo null

sox sound.wav -r 48000 sound_48.wav

toolame -b 224 -s 48 sound_48.wav sound.mp2

mplex -f 8 -o video.mpg video.m2v sound.mp2

I am sure there is some mplayer magic to get a compatible file
directly, but I lack in syntax konwledge.

If your real goal is to exchange the term "most" with "all" in this
statement, you should have a further look at dvdslideshow to make a
mpeg2 stream from your images, too. 

Further you should use dvdauthor to create the DVD itsself. As both
xml syntax and command line control of dvdauthor isn't what I would
call self explaining, I would advise to use dvdwizard (CLI-stable
but still somewhat hard for newbies) or qdvdauthor (GUI-somewhat
buggy, save often) instead.
