[Hikaru IchijoSL]

what is the best program to do this. I need avi to burn to a dvd to let someone watch something.

Freemake is good if you want a simple interface (just make sure to uncheck the bloatware during the installation if you install it)

edit: Sorry about that. Handbrake used to support converting to .avi but no longer does.
edit2: Also with Freemake you can burn/convert the mp4 directly to DVD in one step

How do you make an avi with handbrake.

I rarely burn DVDs but sometimes use this free avi converter for video conversion.
If you're not familiar with the tool, just get a Format Factory.
Both of them are freeware.

i second format factory. It looks like crap but does most everything you would want it to do and easy as pie.
