[FC5] Converting AVI to DVD HOWTO?

[M.Lewis]

I have a few .avi files from TV shows that I have downloaded. I would 
like to convert these .avi files and burn them to DVD such that I could 
view these programs on my TV (DVD).

I've done a little bit of searching on Google and have come up with some 
seemingly dated instructions on how to accomplish this.

What I have found thus far involves a GUI. If possible, I would like to 
avoid a GUI and just do it from the command line. This might not be 
possible, I haven't a clue.

I would appreciate any pointers to howto's. I am completely clueless in 
what might be involved in this process.

TIA,
Mike
