If you like wasting time, or if you have a dual core processor, converting DivX AVIs to DVD-R format and burning them to discs can be a lot of fun.
A better solution is to simply burn the DivX AVI to the DVD or CD (if less than 740mb) directly. If your DVD player can't play it, so what? That's why you have a desktop/laptop computer.
I've found by this simple mathematical model, that converting DivX AVIs to DVD-R format is definitely not worth the time.
subtotaltime = encodingtime + burningtime
totaltime = subtotaltime * 2 = subtotaltime + (time I spent watching cartoons while waiting)
cost = totaltime * average worth per rate of time + cost of CPU electricity
cost > retail price of DVD
