Hi,

for AVI to DVD, he needs an MPEG-2 encoder and a DVD authoring software.
Good MPEG-2 encoders is ProCoder (Express), CCE, and TMPGEnc. There is also a DVD authoring software available from TMPGEnc, it's supposed to be good, too, for basic usage, but I've never tried that.

If he wants to copy the DVDs to hard drive to watch them without the discs, use DVD Decrypter, there is no need to convert them to AVI.

Edit in virtualdub, remove unwanted bits.
Encode, I prefer Mainconcept.
Author in DVDLab.
Burn in Nero.
