I just attempted the link to tovid and it is dead. Couldn’t find it in Synaptic either. Found this on Google http://tovid.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page.
This takes you to lots of Tovid info.

Great article. One point to get dvdauthor to work I had to use a -t switch i.e. $ dvdauthor -o dvd_ready -t movie.mpg
Presumably this tells dvdauthor that it’s a titleset?

Thanks for the article, lots of good information.
I put together a script to quickly (ha, quick) convert and burn a DVD disc (NTSC, quality lvl 8) that can be found here: http://evildomain.org/code/bash/quickdvd.sh

Just like to add that avimerge can be used to combine multiple .avi, before converting to mpeg.

example:
avimerge -o output.avi -i part1.avi part2.avi
