Many many many many burning softwares will burn DVD movies for you. Few are [legally] free. google it. Read at burnworld, purportedly everything you need to know about burning DVDs and CDs.

With DVD recorders getting cheaper and more popular people start asking themselves how they can put their AVI collections on a DVD so they can watch the movies on their standalones. Before you proceed heed this warning: DVD is a high quality format and any deficiencies in the source can easily be spotted. While DVD -> DVD?R can yield surprisingly good quality in most cases it's thanks to a high quality source and smart reduction of bitrate. Unless you're capturing you'll have AVIs that exhibit a considerable quality loss. While DivX and XviD look pretty good on the PC screen, even using a TV-out to watch them on your TV isn't so great either (hence standalone player capable of playing DivX, or DivX player for consoles or even connecting a notebook to the PC input of a projector is a much smarter way to handle this). Most people watch DivX with a post-processing filter activated. This filter does a lot to make the movie look better by applying smart deblocking techniques. When you convert an AVI to another format you don't have these filters in between... so since we're all nice people who only back up the DVDs we own we should back up the original DVD instead of backup up the backup to yet another format (resulting in yet another loss of quality).

Use Toast Titanium! It is so easy. You just tell it what kind of player you will use the disk on, drag the files over, and it does all the encoding and writing for you. It's the best product out there.
I kinda feel like a sales rep...

Just as a note I downloaded a divx copy of Fist of the North Star and tried reencoding it for a dvd. After I finally got it reencoded it played properly on the tv but the quality was absolute shit compared to a real dvd.
I mean think of it like this. A dvd is usually at least 4.7 gb and a divx movie is what 600 - 700 mb? This isn't fantasy world, that huge drop in size comes from a huge drop in quality.

Just burn svcd/vcds if your coming from a lower quality source.
In the past ive used dvd2avi to export d2v and wav crap from ripped dvds then used tmpeg to encode dvd mpegs then used some program to author it.
They are probably more straightforwards apps that will do it for you, i burn all avi shit anyomore to svcd and vcds and only retail stuff goes on dvdrs.
